The world has changed. There are a lot of simultaneous shifts occurring globally right now and it's changing the nature of work, finance and lifestyle. For some, this has been an extremely positive shift. A shift toward more freedom and more money.
For others, this has been like peering through a window covered in iron bars... Watching other people live the life you want to live.
Typically, I'd write a post about Bitcoin or LEO, but today is going to focus on something much more broad. I'm sure I'll find a way to tie these two obsessions of mine into the mix as well.
A Digital Shift
A digital shift has occurred. We saw it happening well before covid, but it got ramped up to the max degree as soon as Covid came around and lockdowns took the world by storm.
When lockdowns hit, companies moved digital. People started working from home. Companies laid some employees off who couldn't work from home and suddenly, the shift to digital business happened overnight.
Some people maximized on this opportunity. They went out and they found multiple remote jobs and started working them simultaneously.
I saw a post about some girl working at Twitter who managed to also have 3 other remote jobs and she was pulling in $500k+ in salary for minimal work.
The digital shift helped some people and hurt a whole other class of people.
That shift has had lasting impacts on all industries. In-person industries are obviously back to being in-person (for the most part) but they've been hurt hard.
One major example of this for me is Chipotle. It's a quick, simple and somewhat healthy meal that I tend to eat regularly when I'm in a hurry. Chipotle has gone really far downhill in terms of food quality, service and ingredients.
Their food is often stale, they are often understaffed and have long wait times and they are always running out of ingredients... like their infamous Guac.
What's wrong here? We closed everything down. We showed people that they could stay at home and get checks from the government. We have TikTok showing people like the Twitter woman I mentioned above - working from home (barely working) and collecting half a million dollars a year for doing so.
This has added to disaster for the food industry and other low-paying, in-person jobs.
Regardless, this world is full of opportunity. I believe that if you find a way to take advantage of this digital shift, you can access this world of opportunity and completely change your life.
So whether you're working multiple digital remote jobs and making half a million a year or you're working at a local chipotle and bringing in $12 an hour, I want to talk about things that all of us can do to improve our finances and more importantly, our freedom.
A World of Opportunities
In the past 6-8 months or so, AI has completely taken the world by storm. I mean, look around. It started with ChatGPT but now there is AI in literally every software.
Photoshop integrated AI. Gitbook integrated AI.... it's everywhere. All these software companies are integrating AI just to stay relevant in the world.
Chatting with AI through something like ChatGPT is only the beginning. A new app I found allows you to upload videos and it will autonomously edit them and give you an edited full version + 30 clips ranging from YouTube Shorts to TikToks to 3-5 min Clips.
It's wild to see what AI has done in a short period of time. Video Editors are almost completely obsolete at this point. The only reason to have one will be for their human creativity.
Alternatively, perhaps a video editor can learn AI and leverage it to get more work done, be more creative, take on more clients, etc. By leveraging AI, they may be able to streamline the manual labor that used to be a part of their job and then focus more on the creative aspects of the job that AI can't perform.
Creativity is becoming more valuable as AI becomes more valuable.
How and What to Take Advantage Of
There are a lot of different opportunities out there right now. I can list some but it's impossible for me to list the right one for you.
Everyone is unique and we all have skillsets and interests. If you can align a particular skill you have with your interests and then look for digital opportunities, I believe you can find something that will change your life.
Threads and Articles on LeoFinance have a particular impact in my opinion. I believe anyone can come to LeoFinance now and earn rewards by doing something they love and then talking about it in an engaging way.
The world of Web3 offers a lot of opportunities. One could also find a lot of opportunities as a designer, marketer or freelancer of any kind here on Leo & Hive.
Additionally, using GPT has made it possible to learn coding like never before. I've been brushing up on some coding languages using GPT as a tutor.
I've also used GPT to help me spitball ideas for blog posts, marketing campaigns, twitter threads, turning my articles into twitter threads that link back to my articles on Hive / LeoFinance.
GPT is only scratching the surface. If you can dive deeper on one thing, I would tell you to dive deeper on AI. It's radically changing the workplace and I've personally seen engineers let go because 1 engineer who's smart with GPT can now do the work of 3 engineers without GPT.

I'd love to spitball ideas with you. If you are looking for opportunities like I've talked about in this digital landscape, I believe one of the most productive ways to find them is to actually talk about them with someone else. I'd be happy to be that person with you all in the comments.
Also feel free to post some Threads and just tag me @khaleelkazi so they show in my notification feed and I'll jump in.
There are so many opportunities, you just need to find one that aligns with your skillset and interests and then keep trying until you succeed. Perseverance is key.
