It's Creating a New Economy.](http://www.mattreiner.com/podcast) _2026-08-06 · FutureProof Advisor Podcast_ The narrative around AI and job loss is louder than the data supports — and that gap matters for how we talk to clients. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I dig into what's actually happening in the labor market, why the current moment looks more like a reshuffling than a collapse, and how the historical pattern of industrial transitions gives us a more useful frame than the headlines… [Listen](https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/df9cf49e-cfa4-49a5-aaa1-51bd63b0b1eb.mp3) ## Reinventing Leadership for 2030 (ft.

(ft. David Krueger, responsible AI professor) _2026-07-21 · FUTUREPROOF._ Send us Fan Mail For years, the AI industry has operated under a simple assumption: talent is global. That assumption is beginning to break. As governments increasingly view advanced AI as a matter of national security—not just commercial competition—companies are finding themselves caught between innovation, geopolitics, immigration policy, and global talent markets.

It rarely tells you why it matters to them. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I explore the gap between personalization and purpose — and why confusing the two is one of the most common mistakes advisory firms make.
