  • Hey friends, Julia here. Let’s get real: AI is coming for ALL our jobs—and fast. I’ve been sounding the alarm for over a year about the automation cliff we’re staring down. By 2025, HR and admin roles? Gone. By 2100? All human work could vanish—but we’re accelerating 40 years ahead of schedule. This isn’t sci-fi. This is our reality.

    But here’s the twist: Trump just signed an executive order in 2025 to create a U.S. sovereign wealth fund—and I believe it’s the first domino to fall toward universal basic income (UBI). Think Alaska’s Permanent Fund meets AI profits. Imagine a future where machines generate wealth, and we all get a share.

    In this episode, I break down:

    Why 100% of HR jobs could vanish by next year (yes, 2025).

    How Trump’s sovereign wealth fund could invest in AI, TikTok, and infrastructure to bankroll UBI.

    Norway’s $1.7 trillion secret—and how blockchain could turn every American into a shareholder of the robot economy.

    The post-labor society: Why losing jobs might finally let us reclaim our humanity (and stop being “human doings”).

    Sound wild? It is. But this is the future I’ve been studying—and building toward—with my team at First Movers, where we’re helping companies leap into AI before they’re left behind.

    Drop a comment: Are you ready to thrive when robots rule? Let’s go.

    Key Topics (In Your Voice):

    “The Automation Cliff”: Why 2025 isn’t just a year—it’s a countdown to losing millions of jobs (starting with HR).

    Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund: TikTok buys, AI investments, and how this could become America’s UBI piggybank.

    Norway’s $222 Billion Blueprint: Copy-paste their oil model for AI profits? Yes, please.

    Blockchain & Tokenization: Transparent UBI payouts + letting you track the robot economy’s stock portfolio.

    Post-Labor Society: Work’s dying. Humanity’s rebirth? Time to be, not just do.

    First-Mover Survival Guide: Why businesses that delay AI will crash—and how to dodge it.

    P.S. If your company’s still pretending AI isn’t a tsunami, slide into my DMs. Let’s talk. 😉
