About this episode
In this episode, I chat with Amanda Goodall, a workforce intelligence analyst who spots restructuring signals months before they hit the headlines. We dig into how AI is quietly eating back-office work. We also cover warehouse robots and humanoids on the horizon, and practical job-hunt tactics to become the obvious hire.
If you’re trying to navigate layoffs, automation, or a tougher job market with clear signal over noise, this one’s for you.
