Hi there,

In our latest episode of the Article & Design Podcast, we sat down with Filipino freelancers and creatives on the ground to talk real talk — no fluff.

What’s inside:

✅ The “double-edged” nature of AI adaptability — superpower and risk

✅ Durable skills that won’t get automated: EQ, critical thinking, storytelling, strategy

✅ Industries to focus on next 5 years (and which roles are riskiest)

✅ Pricing for adaptability: retainers, value-based pricing, and being a “bridge” between old and new workflows

Some notes from the episode:

• Felix: “I don’t rely 100% on it… double-check everything.”
• Christine: “Garbage in, garbage out.”
• Sir Rolan: “Invest in thought leadership… and create systems.”
• Ivy (on healthcare): “Empathy and patience — ‘yan ang di mapapalitan.”
• Margaret: “Shift from task-doer to problem-solver.”

If this episode resonated with you, we’d love to hear from you.
