## Resource

In this episode, Diane Gilman and Nina Gilpin discuss why adaptability has become one of the most important skills in a rapidly changing world. They talk through the impact of AI, shifting job markets, and why traditional career paths may no longer offer the stability people once expected. Diane shares how television retail trained her to constantly adjust in real time, and why her own career success came from reading the moment, staying alert, and building something original. The conversation expands into practical advice about college curricula, personal branding, and why young people entering the workforce need to know how quickly industries can change. The episode closes with a broader warning and a hopeful takeaway: don’t rely on one path, one job, or one talent. Build a second skill, stay informed, and start now, because the future rewards people who are willing to adapt before they’re forced to.
