Plan for Thursday
I've been here before.
I'm Jay Schulman. I've spent 25 years at the frontier of technology disruption — blockchain, information security, financial services — navigating the moment when everything changes and nobody has the playbook yet.
Now AI is rewriting the rules again. But disruption has a pattern, and I've survived enough cycles to see it. I help professionals figure out which type of value they bring — and how to position it in a world where AI does everything else.
The question isn't whether your job changes. It's which part of you becomes more valuable when it does.
— Jay
