Charlotte just hit a tipping point. Two of the city’s biggest employers — Bank of America and Wells Fargo — are already replacing human work with AI, trimming headcounts and reshaping the future of work right now.

This isn’t theory.

This isn’t “someday.”

It’s happening today.

Bank of America’s leaders openly say AI is letting them “do more with fewer people.” Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf warns that future headcount will drop as AI tools take on tasks that once required teams of humans.

👉 That means:

• Roles once thought secure are at risk.
• Traditional career paths are being disrupted.
• Your competition is already learning AI — whether you are or not.

But here’s the truth most leaders won’t tell you:

AI isn’t here to take your job.

It’s here to take your opportunity — unless you adapt fast.

If you want to grow your business, income, and career, the question isn’t if AI will matter — it’s how ready you are to use it better than everyone else.

And that’s where I come in.
