EP1 - Are Careers Dead? (with Simon Squibb)

EP1 - Are Careers Dead? (with Simon Squibb)

I stood alongside Simon Squibb, the entrepreneur and investor behind HelpBnk and author of the Sunday Times bestseller "What's Your Dream?", for an unscripted conversation about where careers are actually heading, and why the word "career" might not survive the next 20 years.I'm Yasar Ahmad, a former global VP of HR. Simon went from homeless at 15 to selling his agency to PwC, and now backs people's dreams for a living; I spent two decades inside the corporate machine. Our missions overlap, so this is a raw chat about the future of work, AI, and honest career advice for a generation walking into a job market that's disappearing under them. 716,000 students leave university every year chasing a good career, and there aren't enough jobs for them.So we get into the real questions. If AI takes the graduate jobs and the high-end ones (lawyers, maybe even doctors) what do you teach a 16-year-old? Why "go to uni to get a job" is broken, and why Simon and I both think the answer is agency, personal development, and learning to build something yourself. We also hit the stuff I care about most: the fake meritocracy where good work goes unseen, why hard work is only one part of the formula (Harvey Coleman's research puts performance at 10%, perception at 30%, and exposure at 60%), why your judgement is the one thing AI can't replace, and the human cost of being treated as a number when the redundancy call lands. If you're thinking about your kids, your own next move, or what work even means now, this one's for you.Subscribe for the stuff nobody tells you about how work really works.Chapters:0:00 Two missions that overlap0:15 Helping a billion people through their careers0:50 What I'd tell my 16-year-old about university1:30 Why "career" and "entrepreneurship" are dying words1:46 Chase the problem you want to solve, not a job title2:21 The one thing AI can't take: your judgement3:24 This is going to get serious, and we can't do it in silos4:32 The fake meritocracy nobody warns you about4:57 The 10-30-60 rule5:45 The shortest route vs the fastest route6:08 The human cost of being just a number6:52 Rebuilding the school system around agency7:19 Which jobs AI takes next7:46 Teaching people to build their own support system━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Newsletter: https://newsletter.yasarahmad.com/Website: https://www.yasarahmad.comCoaching: https://www.ovdlab.com/forBlog: https://ovdlab.com/blogSocials: https://ovdlab.com/bioBooks: https://ovdlab.com/shop/bundleContact: Hello@yasarahmad.com━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#SimonSquibb #FutureOfWork #AIandCareers #WhatsYourDream #WinAtWork
