ByJaime Velez October 8, 2025October 9, 2025

I have spent more than three decades in business and IT, learning my way through changing tools, changing markets, and changing seasons of life.

Along the way I have discovered a simple truth. The people who continue to grow are the ones who never stop learning and who build systems that make learning a daily habit.

Today that habit is easier than ever to cultivate because we have entered an AI Learning Opportunity unlike anything the world has seen.

We live in a world where complexity is glorified. Our calendars are packed, our inboxes overflow, and our devices buzz with endless notifications.

Yet deep down, we know what we really crave is clarity, peace, and focus. The truth is that most of us don’t need to add more to our lives. What we need is to subtract.

We need to simplify life.

The Intelligence Explosion: What Happens When AI Outruns Us?
ByJaime Velez September 24, 2025September 24, 2025

I just finished reading James Barrat’s The Intelligence Explosion: When AI Beats Humans at Everything during my vacation in New York City and Philadelphia.

Between the buzz of Times Square, the quiet awe of walking through old churches, and the soft hum of city streets, this book left me both inspired and unsettled.

It was a reminder that while our human world moves at a certain rhythm, the world of artificial intelligence is accelerating in ways that may soon outpace our ability to keep up.

The Death of Bullshit Jobs: How GenAI is Reshaping the Workforce
ByJaime Velez September 9, 2025September 9, 2025

In 2018, the late anthropologist David Graeber shook the world of work with a provocative book called Bullshit Jobs.

His thesis was both devastating and liberating: millions of people spend their lives doing work that, deep down, they know doesn’t matter.

These aren’t just boring or unpleasant tasks. They’re roles that could disappear tomorrow and the world would continue on, largely unaffected.

Graeber called them “bullshit jobs,” and he categorized them into five familiar types.

The Human-Agent Ratio: A New Metric for the Future of Work
ByJaime Velez July 11, 2025July 11, 2025

In the age of AI, success isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about upgrading how we work together.

In the early days of the internet, businesses scrambled to get online. Then came mobile, and everyone rushed to go digital.

Now we are entering a new era, where the line between human work and machine support is blurring faster than most leaders can keep up with.

A day does not go by when I’m having a conversation with a colleague about this.

This shift is not just technological. It is organizational. It is cultural.

And at the heart of this transformation is a new metric that may soon rival headcount, revenue per employee, or even productivity per hour.

That metric is your Human-Agent Ratio.

Mid-Career Life Alignment: Your Inspired Breakthrough from Autopilot to Purpose
ByJaime Velez July 6, 2025July 6, 2025

According to Gallup, only 23% of employees worldwide are engaged at work.

Deloitte found that 1 in 3 professionals say their job harms their mental health.

And McKinsey reports that while 70% of people say their purpose is tied to their job, only 18% actually fulfill that purpose through their work.

This isn’t about laziness. It’s about misalignment.

And for many, the solution is something few have been taught to pursue:

Mid-career life alignment.

Human-AI Teamwork: The New Superpower of Modern Work
ByJaime Velez May 26, 2025May 26, 2025

Human-AI Teamwork Is Already Here

There’s a scene in every great sci-fi movie where humans and machines stare each other down—rivals, locked in a zero-sum game. But that story? It’s not the one we’re living.

Right now, in coffee shops, coworking spaces, and quiet home offices across the world, something else is happening: humans and AI are starting to team up. One brings curiosity, values, and vision. The other? Speed, memory, and relentless execution.

This is Human-AI Teamwork—and it’s not science fiction. It’s your next competitive advantage.

Forget the tired debates about whether AI will replace you. The real question is: Are you ready to lead it?
