60. Your Future Leaders Won't Grow Up the Way You Did (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don't think AI is killing entry-level jobs so much as it's killing the way we've always grown leaders. So if that path is disappearing, what replaces it? Last week I asked where future leaders come from if AI keeps eating entry-level work. This week I answer it: they don't grow up the way we did, and that's not the problem. The problem is whether we're intentional about what replaces the experiences AI removes. I look back at my own unglamorous start in recruiting, the tasks I've been happy to
59. If AI Is Replacing Entry-Level Jobs...Where Will Your Future Leaders Come From? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone's asking what AI can do for their bottom line. Almost nobody's asking the question that actually keeps me up at night: if AI keeps eating entry-level work, who's left to become your next leader? I don't think AI is killing entry-level jobs.

Kim breaks down the Gallup research that stopped her in her tracks — and why "hope" is not the soft, feel-good concept you think it is. With layoffs, AI, and constant restructuring dominating the headlines, Kim's been thinking about one word: hope.

57. I took my own advice. A Recruiter's 25-Year Reality Check (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few episodes ago, I talked about upskilling — why the "get a degree, hang it on the wall, call it good" model is dead. After I recorded it, the question I couldn't shake wasn't about my clients or candidates. It was about me. So I looked back at 25+ years in recruiting — starting before LinkedIn existed, before AI, CRMs, automation, and half the tools I now run my business on — and asked myself honestly: have I been keeping up, or just keeping busy? This episode is part reflection, part realit
