In this motivational YouTube video, Justin R. Lester argues that artificial intelligence will generate almost 100 million new jobs rather than merely eliminate existing ones. He highlights that global employers expect about 40 % of current skill requirements to shift by 2030, making pre‑COVID skill sets obsolete for the post‑COVID world. To stay relevant, Lester proposes a three‑layer skill development framework: (1) technical and AI competencies, (2) human problem‑solving abilities, and (3) leadership and collaboration skills. He urges viewers to assess and improve at least one of these layers this month, positioning continuous reskilling, cross‑skilling, and upskilling as the essential strategy to avoid falling behind the AI‑driven labor market. The video ends with a call to like and follow for more guidance.

AI is going to add nearly 100 million jobs, and you're over here talking about the jobs that are being lost. What if I told you the way around it is updating your skill sets? That maybe now it's reskilling, cross-skilling, and upskilling, because what got you here is not going to take you to the future. Your problem is you're trying to do pre-COVID skills with post-COVID life. Global employers are saying that 40% of skills are going to shift by 2030. So here's what I need you to understand: stop thinking as one skill set, as one pile. Think different layers. Here's my 3 layers: a technical and AI layer, a human problem-solving layer, and a leadership and collaboration layer. How are you improving your technical skills? How are you improving your human problem-solving skills? And how are you improving your leadership skills? Upgrade one of those things this month and you will not be behind the curve.
