I’m thrilled (and a little nervous!) to share that my new book, Future Skills 2030: Mastering the 4th Industrial Revolution, is now officially live on Amazon.
This book has been years in the making — sparked by a comment at my son’s high school graduation back in 2017:
“Many of these students will go on to work in jobs that haven’t even been invented yet.”
That moment led me down a rabbit hole of research, teaching, course creation, and conversations with learners around the world. I launched my first Udemy course shortly after — from a car parked in my driveway, no fancy equipment, just a $90 Canon camera and a lot of trial and error. That small experiment has since grown into a global learning community and now, a published book.
🧠 What’s Inside Future Skills 2030?
This book is a practical guide for navigating work, learning, and life in an age of accelerating change. Whether you’re a student trying to choose a career, a mid-career professional rethinking your path, or simply someone who wants to stay relevant in a rapidly shifting world — this book is for you.
Inside, we’ll explore:
- 🔧 The must-have skills for the future of work
- 🤖 How AI, automation, and climate change are transforming industries
- 🌱 Lifelong learning, resilience, and career adaptability
- 🌍 Real-world stories, practical strategies, and mindset shifts
- 💡 And why your unique mix of curiosity, creativity, and courage matters more than ever
📚 Why I Wrote This Book
I’ve spent the last decade helping people build future-ready skills — from rural development to online education, from beekeeping to blockchain. My own journey has been far from linear — and that’s the point. The world no longer rewards just staying the course. It rewards the curious, the agile, the adaptable.
This book is both a map and a message: you can thrive in the future — but you’ll need to approach it with a lab mindset. Experiment. Tinker. Learn. Repeat.
