Hi there, my name is David Ford. Quick bio: About 22-ish years ago, I quit my job to focus on some websites I was building. From there, I got into digital marketing. That led to a book outlining some methods I was using at the time. The book turned into a forum, which turned into courses and in-person workshops.

These days my main interests are technology, AI, and automation. It’s been…interesting watching that space the last few years. AI has fundamentally changed things – some good, some not so good.

However, with great change comes great opportunity!

My goal with Future Proof Professional is to help people figure out the best way to stay competitive in an ever changing landscape.

What does the future look like for various careers? Is AI going to take my job? What skills should I focus on to stay in or pivot my career? Have they finally created a self cleaning cat litter box that actually works!?

In future newsletters I’ll share data, analysis, and guest interviews on these topics (maybe not the cat litter one). I won’t be lecturing you on what you should or shouldn’t do. Ultimately I hope you walk away from each newsletter with new actionable ideas to future proof your career.
