In this episode of the Habit Mechanic Podcast, Dr. Jon Finn is joined by Tougher Minds’ Head of Coaching, Andrew Foster, to examine new evidence showing how rapidly AI is reshaping the jobs humans have traditionally been paid to do — particularly in the UK.
Using recent research from Morgan Stanley, alongside insights from leaders in the AI sector, the conversation explores why many predictions about AI’s impact on work are already being exceeded, and why procedural, medium-charge tasks are being replaced faster than most people expected.
Rather than focusing on fear or headlines, this episode zooms in on what actually matters next: how humans can stay valuable in the AI era. Dr. Finn and Andrew explain why simply learning AI tools isn’t enough — and why the real differentiator will be Brain State intelligence: the ability to consistently access high-charge thinking, judgement, creativity, and problem-solving that AI cannot reliably replicate.
You’ll hear:
why AI is disproportionately affecting certain roles and economieshow medium-charge “busy work” is being automated at scalewhy high-charge Brain States are becoming the most valuable human assetand how AI can be used to free time and energy rather than drain itThe episode closes with a practical, empowering message: AI disruption is real — but so is the opportunity for those who learn how to manage their brain states and build habits that support irreplaceable human work.
As always, you’re only ever one Brain State habit away.
