Safe job. Stalled income. Sound familiar?

The cost of "someday" is the venture you never start and the years you can't get back. AI has made starting cheaper than ever. The only expensive thing left is waiting.

  • Your salary rises slower than your expenses.
  • You have skills people pay for, but they pay your employer.
  • AI is changing your industry, and you're watching from the side.
