David LaCombe, fractional CMO, educator, and author of Marketing2aT, argues that the answer starts with judgment. Technical fluency still matters, but young professionals also need business acumen, empathy, communication, perspective, and enough expertise to know when an AI answer is useful and when it is wrong. Jason and David move from marketing into a bigger education question: AI cannot remain a separate class or occasional classroom tool. It is becoming part of the work itself. They discuss design thinking, deliberate practice, AI as a thinking partner, T-shaped skills, the value of generalists and specialists, and why students need opportunities to test ideas, get feedback, and make decisions in uncertain conditions. The takeaway: prepare students to work with AI without handing their judgment over to it. Then look at your own curriculum and ask where AI should become part of the thread rather than an add-on. ABOUT THE GUEST David LaCombe is a fractional CMO, marketing educator, and author of Marketing2aT: Become the Marketer Every Team Wants.
