info_outlineHarnessing AI: The Future of Work and Education
If you're still hoping AI is a trend that’ll pass, you might already be behind.
In this electrifying episode of Richer Soul, Steve Cunningham, founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School, joins us to unpack how to thrive in an AI-powered economy — not just survive it.
Steve doesn’t just teach AI. He shows people how to use it, apply it, and prove their value in a rapidly shifting landscape. With the workplace transforming faster than ever, his Learn–Apply–Prove (LAP) model is exactly what professionals, business owners, and even solopreneurs need to remain irreplaceable.
This isn’t about coding or becoming a data scientist. It’s about clarity, confidence, and competence — and how to build those with AI tools that are already available.
Key Takeaways:
- AI Will Not Replace You — But Someone Using It Will. Steve warns that the danger isn't AI itself — it's not knowing how to work alongside it. The ones who succeed will be those who embrace augmentation, not automation.
- Learning Alone Is a Trap — Proof Is the New Power. Knowledge is cheap. Execution is everything. That’s why the LAP model focuses on not just learning, but applying your skills immediately and proving your value in real-time.
- Don’t Be a Turkey: Recognize the Pattern Before It’s Too Late. In his upcoming book, Don’t Be a Turkey, Steve draws a powerful analogy: turkeys get fed every day and assume life is good… until Thanksgiving. The lesson? Disruption doesn’t warn you before it arrives. Prepare now.
- The Fastest Way to ROI in the AI World? Simple Systems, Not More Content. Most people drown in AI content but never take action. Steve believes simplicity is the unlock, and we need fewer inputs and more structured, intentional application.
Money Learnings:
Steve was raised to think like an entrepreneur — making money was natural. But he didn’t learn how to keep it until much later. He realized that financial success today isn’t about how much you earn — it’s about how you think, especially in a world where AI can generate income with fewer resources and smarter decisions.
About Steve Cunningham:
Steve Cunningham is the founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School (SABS) — the first AI-first business school in the world. With a background in law, marketing, and education, Steve has a proven track record of building tools and frameworks that help people master new skills quickly.
His mission? Equip professionals to become AI-augmented high performers who are prepared for the workforce of tomorrow.
His upcoming book, Don’t Be a Turkey, is set to launch in 2025.
Key Discussion Points:
- Why traditional education is too slow for today’s pace of change.
- The real threat of AI isn’t job loss — it’s skill irrelevance.
- Why “learners” aren’t succeeding anymore — doers are.
- How to build AI competence without becoming technical.
- The new rules of credibility: results > resumes.
- What professionals should focus on right now to stay employable.
- How solopreneurs can turn AI into a profit multiplier.
Conclusion:
If you're feeling behind in the AI revolution, this episode is your reset button. Steve Cunningham doesn’t just hand out theories — he provides a practical map to upskill, adapt, and lead in a transformed economy.
