Hey there Navigators! I had the absolute fortune to catch Patrick Barnard at an internet cafe between his two latest sojourn trips to the Philipines. Patrick is a fearless entrepreneur who has made some pretty phenomenal companies throughout the years. I will say, the time we connected the audio was a bit funky with background noise – BUT – the interview was SO GREAT. Bonus points to anyone who DM’s me the funniest background outbreak! We talked about Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills, the automation displacement crisis that is looming, and talk about things such as minimum viable income for those displaced by the AI revolution.
