“Because the triumph of Apollo 13 wasn’t just the act of bringing the astronauts home. It proved that in moments of existential crisis, the choice isn’t between success and failure; it’s between action and paralysis. It’s between solving the problem or staring at it.”

“The Bottom Line 1.​Your job is not your title. Letting go of our focus on titles, even just in our own minds, offers freedom to see our jobs for what they are and to leverage our skills accordingly. You’re not just a financial analyst, a plumber, or a nurse practitioner. You’re a collection of distinctly human capabilities, contributions, and potential that no title could ever capture. 2.​AI is coming for tasks, not jobs. The three-bucket framework reveals where you stand in your job today: Bucket 1 tasks (what AI can do alone) can be moved off your plate, Bucket 2 tasks (human plus AI) are your immediate opportunity, and Bucket 3 tasks (uniquely human) are your more durable advantage. Success means actively moving work from Bucket 1 to 2, and building up your tasks in Bucket 3. 3.​Adaptability is key. Like bank tellers who shifted from dispensing cash to solving customer problems, your ability to adapt is key. And adapting will serve you better than predicting.”
