It’s been a busy year here at the Future of Education—the newsletter dedicated to a world in which all individuals can build their passions, fulfill their potential, and live a life of purpose.
Happy New Year! I purchased and read your new book. I think your manuscript format continues to be good but you've missed the boat in terms of creating a balanced employer/employee perspective. I've been a small business owner for 35 years. Over the years we've hired, trained, and compensated hundreds of employees. The U.S. still embraces a capitalistic economy. At the end of the day, it's about growth, revenue, and profit contribution. If AI can get us there more efficiently, cost-effectively, and with a better ROI than labor investment then that's where the resources will be targeted. 10% of all small businesses today are franchised. The number of public companies continues to decline. Capital investments continues to be privatized. Most employees don't have a clue about the difference between an owned/operating versus asset light business model. Also, most employees have never learned how to read a P&L, Balance Sheet, or Business Tax Return. Best of luck in the coming New Year and I plan to continue to support your organization's educational vision, but you might consider engaging a small business owner's perspective because it's 80% of our economy!
