Future Ready Leadership With Jacob Morgan

September 30, 2026: I unpack my experience using Muse, Meta's new AI assistant that actually negotiated my phone bill, lowered my internet costs, and found me discounts without me writing a single prompt. This feels fundamentally different from ChatGPT and Claude because it acts like a true personal assistant, not just a research tool. I explore what happens when every employee inside your organization gets one of these capable agentic assistants, why everyone is about to become a manager whether they have the title or not, and the coming fight over what managing AI agents is actually worth in compensation. Then I get into the leaked Anthropic IPO numbers showing a path to $2 trillion valuation on $100 billion in revenue, and why their prospectus warns investors about existential risk while asking for that valuation. Finally, I break down Anthropic's new research claiming robots can perform 74% of physical work, why that number is misleading, and why breaking jobs into task lists completely misses how work actually happens.

I talk with Jill Penrose, Chief People & Administrative Officer and Chief of Staff at The J.M. Smucker Co., about why the Chief of Staff role is becoming so important as leaders deal with more complexity and change. We get into how Smucker connects strategy, people, and culture, how AI is changing consumer behavior and the employee experience, why leaders need to be honest about AI uncertainty, and how the company is looking beyond productivity to find where AI can create differentiated business value.

September 25, 2026: I unpack new Harris Poll data showing young people are developing surprisingly emotional relationships with AI, including feeling guilty when they ignore chatbot advice and even reporting romantic relationships with AI. Then I get into Microsoft's major Copilot rebuild around chat, cowork, code, and autonomous digital teammates, and what happens when employees effectively become managers of AI agents. Finally, I break down the viral debate over bringing iced coffee to a job interview and why it says something bigger about workplace etiquette and the balance of power between employers and candidates.

September 23, 2026: I unpack Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar's proposal to ban artificial superintelligence, pause advanced AI development, and impose prison sentences of up to 20 years for violations. Then I look at how millions of employees are quietly becoming managers of AI agents without the title or pay. Finally, I get into Andreessen Horowitz's new AI academy for young people who may want to skip college and build instead.

September 18, 2026: I look at the viral LinkedIn profile of Home Depot executive Anne Marie Campbell and why her rise from cashier to senior executive says something important about effort, loyalty, and firm-specific knowledge. Then I get into the Wall Street Journal's warning that the purge of middle managers could backfire as companies underestimate coaching, sponsorship, and tacit knowledge. I also unpack how researchers used Anthropic's Claude to break into OpenAI through a bug bounty program. Finally, I break down OpenAI's recent "misalignment" example involving compaction summaries and why some of these scary AI moments may be glitches, not signs of sentience.
