Neil Patel argues younger marketers who resist AI tools will fall behind professionally. Major marketing companies are spending thousands on AI training programs for staff, giving early adopters a significant career advantage that will matter when they job hunt or seek promotions.
And when I meet these younger, and I mainly meet marketers who are younger, right? Because that's the industry that Eric and I are in. But like, they're just like, yeah, it's going to screw up my possibilities to work and get a job in the future. I hate this stuff. It was so much easier during my parents' generation. And yes, there's some things that were easier in your parents' generation, just like Eric and I can say the same thing for our parents' generation. But there was many things that were much harder in our parents' generation than You know, it was for us, and a lot of our parents struggled in ways we never had to. But, you know, I always tell people, don't hate, embrace. If you hate, you're going to struggle to succeed in, you know, today's world. If you embrace, you're much more likely to do well. And what we find, and again, my interactions are mainly in marketing departments, organizations, at least large ones that are publicly traded, are figuring out ways to help bring up everyone in their organization and marketing up to speed and making them better. Whether it's training, having speakers come in, whether it's signing up for educational courses and classes, you know, they're bringing people in to make their employees better. This is amazing. You're getting thousands and thousands of dollars of education for $0, and this is going to make you do better in your career when you switch jobs or go somewhere else. Like, it's priceless.
