September 4, 2026: I look at OpenAI's new GPT-6 Astra model and why even powerful AI agents still may not be ready to take over full jobs. Then I get into the August jobs report, which came in far stronger than expected and complicates the "AI is kil... more

Just like I start my day listening to a daily news summary, I finish it with Future Ready Leadership. As a CPO, this is my main source of HR and work-related news and perspectives. I count on these insights and share them with members of the C suite and our People team several times a week. Jacob has sometimes slightly iconoclastic and always fresh takes, especially on AI, where he doesn’t take stories at face value but rather acts like a trustworthy sanity-filter.
Very well presented, delivered. Helps you stay aware of macro AI influence on jobs
Great insights and very practical! A must listen for anyone interested in the future of work developments (and in this ever changing world it should be everyone in HR)
I love that Jacob makes me question my assumptions and look to the future with a positive attitude.
I have been following Jacob's work for many years, his books, and his podcasts. I really enjoy the Tuesday-Thursday content that covers the top stories related to AI and much more. Plus, the guests on the Monday podcast share so much relevant and useful information.
Thanks Jacob and looking forward to reading your latest book when I'm back from holiday.
