## Resource

John Fees, Co-founder & Managing Partner of GradGuard, explains how salespeople stay irreplaceable in the AI era by asking the human questions AI can't — and by leading with his "three A's": Ask, Authentic, Authority. He and host John Golden also weigh whether a college degree is still worth the cost and what skills students need to thrive alongside AI. Learn more at https://gradguard.com/ .
