If you’ve listened to Read to Lead for any length of time, you’ve likely gathered that I’m a bit fascinated by a couple of topics in particular.
One is what I like to call the evolving world of work. The work landscape is changing rapidly. Studies show that, in the future, those working in traditional jobs will actually be in the minority. Industry after industry is being disrupted by entrepreneurs and their computers.
The other topic that fascinates me is this new world’s impact on our educational system. Today’s colleges simply can’t keep up with these exponential changes. Most of what is being taught in college today will be obsolete within 5 years.
Taylor’s new book The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9 to 5 tackles both of these issues and more. If you long to get a handle on this new world and do all you can to prepare for it, don’t miss our conversation. Simply hit the play button below.

In today’s episode, Taylor and I discuss:
- The transition we’re experiencing from a “knowledge” economy to an entrepreneurship economy and what it means
- Why globalization and technology are affecting, not just low-skilled jobs, but even highly-credentialed jobs
- The issue of the rising cost of college with the simultaneous decrease in the relevance of a degree, and what to do about it…
- And much more!
