About this episode
Mike gets into why corporate training and compliance courses are box-ticking theatre, the month ChatGPT rolled out memory and killed his startup Joggle overnight, how he built the Talvi website himself using Replit without writing a line of code, why SCORM and desktop e-learning tools refuse to die twenty-three years later, whether coding is still worth learning in the age of AI agents, why he says AGI is coming in 2 years, selling his first company two months before Steve Jobs killed Flash on stage, the white-collar bloodbath, the future of work, and what a 65-year-old serial entrepreneur chases when it is no longer money.
Mike Alcock has sold $100m of software to Apple, Nike and Shell, and he believes most of what you learned is useless, because AI now carries the knowledge for you.
