What do consumer products and interplanetary exploration have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, Sarah Pousho, CEO of SpaceBridge Partners, shares how decades in global sales and licensing prepared her to lead in the space industry, proving that trust, relationships, and brand integrity are as critical in orbit as they are on Earth.

You’ll hear how Sarah and her team fund scientific missions that may not deliver immediate ROI but could transform life on our planet, from studying climate change to understanding Venus. She reveals how AI is accelerating data analysis from decades-old space missions, helping design safer habitats, and even preparing the moon for human habitation.

We also dig into leadership lessons that transcend industries, why space isn’t just for billionaires, and how anyone, from interior designers to lawyers, can find a role in the next space era. Whether you’re a recruiter, innovator, or dreamer looking to make an impact beyond Earth, Sarah’s story will inspire you to see that there truly is space for everyone.

AI Business Update - Special "Space Edition" with Sarah Pousho

Marcus Sawyerr (EQ.app) on the Great Restructuring: how AI, geopolitics and post‑pandemic shifts drive portfolio careers, fractional work and major hiring changes.

The job market is undergoing a massive transformation, what we call "The Great Restructuring."  Did you know that 170 million new jobs are expected to be created globally, but 92 million existing jobs will be displaced?. In this episode, Joel and Marcus dive deep into the seismic shifts happening in recruiting, hiring, and the broader economy as AI accelerates disruption across every industry. They explore what they call The Great Restructuring: a landscape where mid-sized businesses are shrinking, large corporations are consolidating, and small businesses are exploding—with leaner teams and smarter strategies powered by AI.

You’ll hear how recruiters and professionals alike can thrive in this new reality by embracing portfolio careers and fractional consulting, leveraging AI to reduce admin and unlock new revenue streams, and shifting their role from order-takers to strategic advisors. Throughout the conversation, Joel and Marcus emphasize the importance of staying curious, experimenting, and taking ownership of your learning.

This isn’t just about jobs being lost, it’s about 170 million new ones being created. But to get ahead in this evolving landscape, you’ll need more than just tools. You’ll need perspective, adaptability, and the courage to bet on yourself.
