What I Learned After Losing My Job (and Why It Saved Me)

Dear Traders,

This isn’t the first time we’ve faced a revolution, but this time, it feels different.

Every time a new technology comes around, people start asking the same big questions:

What does this mean for jobs? For society? For the future of work?

It’s a valid concern. Just look back at the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. That massive wave of innovation completely changed the way people lived and worked. Agriculture and rural life gave way to machines, factories, and cities. Old jobs disappeared. New ones were born. It wasn’t easy for sure, there was resistance, fear, and lots of uncertainty, but eventually, society adapted.

But what’s happening now feels very different. The speed and scale of change with AI and large language models are unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Something that really caught my attention today made me stop and think about how fast things are changing. I’m publishing my new book on Monday, and part of that process is posting it for auditions on Audible, which is owned by Amazon. Usually, narrators send in their samples, and I listen and pick the voice and performance that best represent my work.

But this time, something new popped up. Audible offered me the option to create my entire audiobook in minutes using an AI voice. Just a few clicks, and it’s done.

That’s fascinating, but also a bit unsettling. The narrators and producers, the people who helped Audible become what it is today, are now at risk of being replaced by the very company they helped build. Their talent, their work, their commissions… all of that helped grow the platform, and now AI is stepping in to take their place.

And it’s not just Audible. Look at Uber. Millions of drivers have spent years building that service, giving rides day and night, building trust in the brand. Yet Uber is aggressively investing in and partnering with autonomous fleets that will eventually replace many of those drivers.

It’s the same story in so many industries. AI isn’t just coming for blue‑collar jobs, it’s coming for white‑collar jobs, creative jobs, jobs that once felt safe. Writers, designers, coders, customer support teams, financial analysts… nobody is completely safe from automation and AI.

This isn’t meant to scare you for no reason; it’s meant to wake you up. The world is shifting, and if we don’t adapt, we get left behind. We all need to start learning new skills, looking at new opportunities, and building something for ourselves.

For me, that’s trading. Learning to trade was one of the best decisions I ever made. It gave me freedom, a skill that can grow over time, and a way to take control of my own future, not rely on a company that could replace me tomorrow.

So if you’ve been thinking about learning trading or picking up new skills, now is the time. Don’t wait for AI or automation to make the choice for you.

AI Is Reshaping the Workforce, Fast

For the first few years, most CEOs outside of Silicon Valley avoided talking too openly about how AI would impact jobs. But now, more and more of them are starting to say the quiet part out loud: AI will wipe out jobs, especially white-collar ones.

So yes, it’s normal to feel anxious right now. Many people are wondering what this means for their jobs, their future, and even industries like finance and trading.

Is AI going to replace everything? Or will it just change the way we work?

The Hard Truth: No One Owes You Anything

It’s tough to accept, but it’s the truth that the world doesn’t owe anyone a living. Life doesn’t come with guarantees. I see a lot of the younger generation scrolling endlessly through social media, consuming content that doesn’t serve them, just watching cat videos or whatever goes viral instead of learning something that can help them grow.

You have to ask yourself honestly:

Are you putting in the work? Or are you just hoping things magically work out?

I came from a country that had gone through a revolution and war. I wasn’t handed anything. I had to build my life from scratch. I worked hard, studied hard. During university, I would sometimes spend 18 hours a day in the lab, even sleeping there just to keep going. After that, I did whatever it took: I hustled, I learned, and I kept adapting.

Then, when I got laid off, I didn’t complain. I focused on building a new life. I never once asked, “Is this fair?”

Instead, I asked, “What can I do next?”

But when I became an employer, things changed. I started hiring people and saw firsthand how many of them didn’t want to go even one inch beyond what was expected. They refused to do anything that didn’t have an immediate payout. That was disappointing.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve hired over 100 people across my businesses and projects. And what I’ve found is that a small group stands out: those who are grateful, always learning, always growing. These are the people who don’t take opportunities for granted. And they’re the ones who thrive.

I heard before from so many of our traders and my followers who are dealing with job changes, layoffs, and uncertainty. And I want to tell you again:

Now is the time to choose growth.

That decision will show up in every part of your life:

• Sleep better;
• Eat better;
• Drink less;
• Exercise more;

And most importantly, keep learning.

Learn a new skill. A new language. A new tool. Something that prepares you for a world that’s changing fast.

And yes, learning how the financial markets work is one of the most powerful tools you can have.

Wall Street isn’t some distant world anymore; it’s right here on Main Street in 2025. If you’re still thinking, “The markets aren’t for me,” you’re living like it’s 2005, not 2025.

You don’t need to scalp or day trade like I do. But you must understand how markets work. You need to be able to protect your money, invest wisely, and take advantage of opportunities, not run from them.

So, where do you start? Right Here.
