In this episode of Freedom Lovin’ Podcast I interviewed my friend Taylor Pearson to talk about his amazing new book “The End of Jobs”, which is a bestseller at the moment in Business department on Amazon. We discussed the trend of this century that favors entrepreneurship and not knowledge, we discussed why it has never been easier and cheaper to start your own business and why credentials and college degrees are losing value, increasing costs and above all, why jobs are becoming less profitable than ever.
