Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day. I'm your host, Elise Hugh. Our original series, TED Intersections, features unscripted conversations between speakers and experts taking on subjects at the intersection of their expertise. In this final intersection's conversation of the season, work futurist Michelle Weiss sits down with video creator John Ushai to answer the question, how do we navigate the ever evolving nature of work?
Starting point is 00:00:38 Discussing how they both maneuver the pace of technological change in the workplace, they offer advice on how to make sure your skills stand out and what to keep in mind when entering into the workforce today and in the future.

Support for this episode comes from Airbnb. Every time I travel to Vancouver for the TED conference, I think of extending the trip by one more day to explore. Maybe visit Granville Island to check out their public market, to browse the colorful
Starting point is 00:02:38 food and produce, or try out one of their world famous donuts or some fresh food. Maybe with my extra time I could check out the Grau's Grind hike on the Grau's mountain nearby, which I've been told is Mother Nature's Stairmaster. This time around I might just do it. While I'm away I've been thinking of hosting on Airbnb so my home doesn't just sit empty. It would put my home to good use, and the extra income would be great to cover some of the costs of my trip. One more night in this incredible city, one more inspiring TED Talk. It just feels like the smart thing to do. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.ca.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Right now, if you're creative and you feel like AI is coming for your job, I think that says something about your skill set right now. Honestly, like, I think good technology will always display something, but if you and there's a lot of like there's going to be a rough patch, and maybe we're already going through in terms of like jobs and, you know, and retooling and all that. But I think for the large part, it can be such a compliment and amplifier. I've always been fascinated by the fact that even our younger boomers today are averaging 12 job changes by the time they retire. So if you think about for the rest of us, like younger generations who are still immersed
Starting point is 00:04:15 in the workforce, we're going to have to navigate more career shifts than we ever dreamed of. Twelve job changes. Twelve. Oh my God. And if you think about, if you try to calculate you know that younger generations average tenure in a role is maybe less than three years. Yeah. We might be looking at 20 or 30. Yeah I was like Gen Z maybe it's like 50 job changes. Yeah. And I know you went through your own sort of career shift. You started off at Instagram and YouTube and now you are a creator
Starting point is 00:04:44 yourself. Can you just sort of walk us through what that felt like to make that really big shift? Oh yeah, I mean, there's so many things I learned working at YouTube and Instagram that prepared me for this job, like how to speak to brands, how to speak to sponsors, how to understand, okay, there's somebody
Starting point is 00:05:01 who has a marketing budget, what are they looking for, like on that return on investment, and just how to understand, okay, there's somebody who has a marketing budget, what are they looking for, like on that return on investment, and just how to communicate. I think you talk a lot about like, soft skills that you could have, but they could change in different contexts. Yeah. And I feel like I've taken that to heart in so many ways in terms of like, okay, well, in a corporate environment, I'm speaking to people across the table, but as a creator, and I'm speaking across the camera, but they're a lot of the same skill sets. They're putting together a deck for a brand to try to get like a sponsorship for our
Starting point is 00:05:32 episodes and our show now. So many things are transferable, even though on paper they look like different roles. So I'm so fascinated by what you do because it's just not the way my brain works. I started off my career as an academic and have gotten into producing content, but I don't think about it as how to make it go viral and how to get the most impressions possible. And I just think your brain works so differently
Starting point is 00:05:57 from the way that mine does. And I was just wondering if you could kind of teach me some tricks of like how to do this better. Or I know you have kind of a worldview some tricks of like how to do this better or I know you have kind of a worldview where you want people to put their content out into the world without worrying about it being perfect. At the same time, right, I think there's a lot of really terrible content out there too. So are you just hoping that more great folks put out their better content than the really terrible content? Well, I think you need two things. It's like experience, and then entertainment. And when you have both of those, it works
Starting point is 00:06:32 really well. A lot of people who have experience, especially in academia on the corporate world don't know how to like package it or make it more entertaining. So a lot of their content falls flat. Yep. And then there's a lot of people who are entertaining for the sake of entertainment, which is fine. Like we need some of that, some escapism, like, you know, that's always great. But then it creates kind of this spiral of trying to like sustain them and that becomes very hard. But if you have both, it could work really well. So even as we're like setting up for this, I'm like trying to think about like, okay, what are the things that we want the viewer to remember from this talk?
Starting point is 00:07:06 What is our intro look like? And just setting that up so that people get as much value as possible from the experience and educational side of what we're talking about. Yeah, I'm just wondering, like, are you are you also thinking that certain kinds of content just doesn't fit into certain mediums, just because I think about how amazing a TikTok could be. But the kind of work that someone in thought leadership is doing might not always translate well into these short bite-sized pieces. How do you think about connecting the actual content to the right medium?
Starting point is 00:07:42 Because it's always shifting too. Yeah. Well, I think context definitely defines content. But if you're aware of how a platform works, you could figure that out. Like, for example, like on a YouTube video, you have a bit more breathing room to talk about what you want to say in the intro versus a TikTok or a short or Instagram reels. Like, we're not even thinking about the intro. We're thinking about what I like to call the first frame
Starting point is 00:08:06 What do you see at like point zero zero seconds? And can you set as much up in that to set expectation of what people will see so like for example? I have this format on my youtube channel where I go on the streets of Hollywood and do a highly scientific Study where I ask people who's more popular You know like mr. Beast or Tom Cruise, you know, like, and basically, it's a, like a commentary on like, what's more popular social media or traditional media. And there's people on the street, like Gen Z, like young people I talk to
Starting point is 00:08:37 do not know who Tom Cruise is. Do not know who Tom Cruise don't not know who Tom's Hanks is. But they know who Mr. Beast Logan Paul is. And there's people who like, like, you know, older generations typically, who know who Tom Cruise Tom Hanks is, but don't know who Mr. Beast Logan Paul is. So immediately, you have this interesting generational divide. But for that format, I experimented with different intros, I was like, Hey guys, I'm right now on the street of Hollywood. And I'm asking people who's more popular, Logan Paul or Tom Hanks, so we could see what's going on
Starting point is 00:09:06 in terms of social media tradition, way too long for a TikTok or YouTube short. So instead, like I was like, how can I set up that first frame, that zero second experience when you're coming across it to immediately define what you're about to watch? So I went to the local print shop, I got a poster with two faces
Starting point is 00:09:27 on it. And I held it up. And I had a microphone. And literally that that that zero seconds, who are these two people? And I turned the mic to the person on the street. And they're answering and looking at it. And so stuff like that where I'm like, the idea was there. And it's really just taking a stat and turning into a story because there's a lot of statistics about social media versus traditional media. I want to make you feel visceral. I want to make you feel emotional. And I want to bring it to a human perspective, not just a statistic, and do it in a first
Starting point is 00:09:57 frame where it could fit the context of that so there's like, the message can be heard. But it takes a lot of like defining and understanding and studying what works on a platform together. Yeah. Yeah. One of the things I'm thinking about as we're talking about this really abbreviated but powerful content that's dynamic and vibrant in this way is it feels really compact,
Starting point is 00:10:20 and it feels like really compressed, and it's a lot all at once. And when I think about having to slow down and lengthen and it feels like really compressed and it's a lot all at once, right? And when I think about having to slow down and lengthen our attention span, especially as we see in the world that narcissism rates are going up and empathy rates are declining, and I'm wondering like how we better practice empathy. I'm just curious like what can the media, like what do we think about,
Starting point is 00:10:44 like how do you think about, like, how do you think about sort of empathy in this space that we're in? Because it is the strange world in which, like, the rise of social media and the proliferation of digital platforms makes us sort of think more about ourselves versus how we inhabit sort of the life of someone else, you know? I don't know if you think about that at all. Oh, all the time.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I feel like algorithms create echo chambers in many ways. And that's why a interview format is so powerful because you'll opt into following that one person. But then if they're talking to somebody else who may not be in like your periphery or your circle, then you're getting another perspective and then hopefully that could create a jumping-off point to almost like Poke a needle in that. Yeah bubble to go even further All right I find that on the street content is so interesting you see like a lot of people doing like man on the street content
Starting point is 00:11:40 Because it's bringing somebody into your feed by way of who you follow that you wouldn't normally heard from, you know, so like, there's like this really interesting format that somebody takes a Walkman or a cassette and shows it to like a Gen Z is like, do you know what this is? And they're like, what is it like, it's just like little things like that put things in perspective. But it's interesting. I'm wondering like for you like you've done so much research on the future of work like how do you think about communicating the message to a generation that needs it most and Gen Z like they're navigating a totally different career landscape than ever before like how do you think about all the work and
Starting point is 00:12:22 research you've done in terms of making it relevant and understandable to a new generation? Yeah. It's really hard because I think we go through life believing that there's this sort of arc where we get front-loaded with a lot of education on the front end, and then we get to sort of build and launch a career, build a life, and then retire. And that whole arc has just been completely upended by exponential advancements in technology, right?
Starting point is 00:12:50 And so it's really going to be this learn, earn, learn, earn cycle, and it's never going to end because with all of this change, we're just going to have to keep continuously learning. And at the same time, we don't have any of the real infrastructure and architecture out there to facilitate this kind of seamless education throughout life. Like, we talk about lifelong education and, yes, I'm going to be a lifelong learner, but we don't have those systems set up. And so we have a ton of people falling through the cracks and not able to access precisely what they need in order to make progress in their lives.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And so the main message, especially to younger generations, is that we have to have a real mindset shift. And it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing to need to grow, right? And you have these kind of constraints that are forcing you to grow and seek out new information. Um, but unfortunately also the onus is on us as people to navigate this because we don't have that infrastructure set up. My, my whole work in life is trying to kind of begin to set up those regional, different kinds of better functioning learning ecosystems to facilitate these
Starting point is 00:14:01 movements, but it's slow going and it's an asset, right? And so in the near term, it's on us. We actually have to figure out how to surface and articulate our skills and translate them into the language of the job market, right? And so it's unfortunately a lot on us, but we get to do it. We get to actually shape our future. And I think both of us have made multiple pivots in our lives and we were we realize how amazing it is like once you're on the other side of it
Starting point is 00:14:31 but we also realize how much of it is kind of fortune, luck, you know, your network, all these things kind of coming together in a beautiful way that a lot of people don't have access to. So how do we make those kinds of social networks, professional networks more available to people to actually bring them along? So that's the huge kind of lift for all of us is unfortunately it just kind of rests on us more that burden is on us. And we have to do this really interesting kind of storytelling and translation about all of the hidden skills we bring to the table and make that understandable to a prospective employer.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah. Let's say you're somebody who just started a new job or you're entering the workforce for the first time. What are three things you would tell them? These are what you should remember, what you should take away in your next year on the job to be well set for the future. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Right now. For younger workers who are kind of going into their first job, that might not be their first choice. One of the things is to just remember that we don't have to sort of search for that higher lofty calling. Sometimes we can work with purpose, even when our work doesn't feel purposeful. And at the same time, I know employers tend to kind of fixate on very technical, hard skills that we need to bring to the table, but also realize that as we contend with this longer, more turbulent
Starting point is 00:15:59 work life, we're going to have to actually really get sophisticated at our human skills when we think about critical thinking, systems thinking, emotional intelligence, that empathy. All of that still requires practice, even though it's innate within us, we're not actually sophisticated at it. And so one of the ways to think about it is I can almost imagine taking like a tech boot camp for cybersecurity and learning that technical skill in a short amount of time. It's a lot harder for me to think about how I practice the human skill of empathy as an example.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah, I think the soft skills are so important, especially learning how to empathize and communicate. But I don't know, I feel like I look back at my time in the corporate world, I'm like a lot of those hard skills prepared me for what I'm doing right now as a creator. I'll never forget when I was at YouTube, and I had an amazing boss, Ross Warren, who is just so good at marketing and branding, but he also knew Photoshop. And I remember our one-on-one meetings, and I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:16:57 Ross, can I see how you design this on Photoshop? Can I just watch as you do it and ask a few questions and learn how to design myself? And now's helped me like as a youtuber design our thumbnails or be able to give better direction to our Team to be like hey add a bit more drop shadow here increase the saturation there Yeah, I feel like I wouldn't have that language if I didn't have that technical like know-how or even like on a more like practical level for everyday presentations. I remember at Instagram, one of my colleagues, Peter Shields, was kind of like a Picasso
Starting point is 00:17:32 of PowerPoint. He just was able to design these beautiful slides, and now I'm able to make slides to pitch our sponsors for brand deals for our show. And I feel like a lot of that is in the packaging of the deck and that technical skill that I learned and I just tried to be a sponge with. So I don't know. I think the technical skills are super important. So I don't think it's an either or. I think it's a both and. Like it's both are generalist humanist skills that we need to bring to the table. But we also have to have enough technical skills in order to know when to intervene at the right time. So like even all the things you're talking about, absolutely, those hard skills have made you,
Starting point is 00:18:09 have given you a level of expertise to sort of engage with the material in a different way, right? But then when you think about something like AI and machine learning and the ways in which we are now able to sort of leapfrog, and I can build a website even though I have zero coding skills, right? And those, I can build a beautiful deck using these different kinds of AI tools that I've never been able to present in that way before, right? But I also have to have enough knowledge and understanding to get in there and edit because what's being fed to me, right? Isn't quite what I need.
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's not going to be exactly, I'm not going to receive it from the AI and present it to whomever. Right? So it's really, for me, it's not this kind of either or. It's just that we just have to remember that those human skills require some deep practice and we don't actually have a lot of mechanisms to practice those skills. So that's, that it's, we see a proliferation of different kinds of certificates, like Google's got their own certificates, Salesforce has their own, like there's different ways of learning these new skills that are more kind of vertical skills, but those horizontal skills
Starting point is 00:19:18 as like of a T-shaped learner, those are a lot harder to kind of get access to. Yes, well said. Yeah. Yeah, I think a lot about people who I meet, like, who are just entering the workforce or they're trying to become a creator or entrepreneur. I think they can move even faster if they just had one or two years, like, learning within a team or a system. Like, I feel like now I know how to run a team and manage folks because I was managed by other people. Yes, and I
Starting point is 00:19:47 I'm like I go into a meeting and I'm like, alright, what's the agenda? Who's taking notes? What are the action items like and that was very much something I learned inside YouTube and an Instagram and just understanding okay if we're gonna have a meeting we have to have a purpose to it Let's keep going and I find that a lot of folks like especially in the creator world where it's like, okay I if we're gonna have a meeting, we have to have a purpose to it. Let's keep going. And I find that a lot of folks like, especially in the creator world where it's like, okay, I'm gonna make content and we'll see how it feels today. I don't know what's the process. And if we do something more than three times, can we create a like doc that almost has a checklist?
Starting point is 00:20:19 And there's just so many things that I wouldn't have known if I wasn't a part of a team or part of an organization or a lot of people with much more experience taught me that or I was able to absorb it. Like what you're talking about feels like a confidence building exercise that you were able to kind of access through that experience. And I'm wondering where in your career and sort of as you look back, when in the shifts did you ever feel like a sense of imposter syndrome? I definitely felt imposter syndrome, but I have a hot take on imposter syndrome.
Starting point is 00:20:55 That's saying the more you know, the less you realize you know. And I feel like there's a lot of folks who learn more about their subject matter. They're like, oh my God, I didn't realize there's this aspect to it or there's a lot of folks who like learn more about their subject matter. And like, Oh my God, like I didn't realize there's this aspect to it, or there's that perspective. And you start unraveling all the different like nuances of complication of any industry and field. So naturally, you're like, wait, I don't know a lot, actually. But then like, that's kind of like the like, the, like the, you know, midpoint of the journey, you keep learning a lot. And as you go in, like you if the experience is the spectrum,
Starting point is 00:21:25 and it's inexperience and expert, I argue that journey never ends. As you get closer to expert or have more expertise, you develop more imposter syndrome. You realize you know less, but you keep going down that path. Then there's a moment where you look back at those people who are inexperienced, and you realize there's a lot of people
Starting point is 00:21:44 who are inexperienced who talk a lot. And it's like, they're very certain. They're very certain. I'm like, what are you talking about? You don't even know what you're talking about. You know, and I had that experience firsthand where I'm like, working on YouTube for five years, learning how the platform works, working with a lot of careers, then going to Instagram, learning how that platform works.
Starting point is 00:22:03 And then I see these people on social media being like, no, this is how it works. I'm like, that is outdated and wrong. And seeing that, I don't know what that's called, like reverse imposter syndrome or something. I'm like, there's just so much misinformation out there that that also gave me confidence to be like I'm learning there's still a ton to learn but I got to get out there, you know and That was a big motivator to say like wait, there's not a lot of people on YouTube who have worked at YouTube Yeah, let alone another platform like Instagram can talk about it. Yeah in the way that I can so maybe I should at least try Yeah can talk about it in the way that I can. So maybe I should at least try. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:45 One of the most powerful things I've heard recently is Malcolm Gladwell talking about sort of having to kind of revise his stance on his past work, right? The tipping point. And I love what he said is he talks about feeling so sure of himself as a young person 25 years ago and feeling so certain of these things, even though he had just moved to New York like three months earlier and didn't really understand the context.
Starting point is 00:23:09 And he said that now what he'd like to say is, this is what I believe today, now, to be true. Yes. Yeah. I love those qualifiers. Yeah. And I think that's like a great way to think about it. But yeah, the expertise can definitely, you know, sort of probably make you question how much you know. And I don't know, I felt imposter syndrome even when I was
Starting point is 00:23:33 like a new professor. I had gone to six years of grad school to become a professor and I realized like I didn't know how to teach. Like I didn't, I knew my subject area and I knew what it looked like to be a good teacher. I saw my professors do it well, some of them. But then once I had to do it, I sort of felt, I felt like this real disconnect of, oh my God, I'm in this place of authority. And it felt like I was wearing a giant suit that I didn't fit in. And yeah, it just felt like, it just felt really, really vulnerable. And it felt like, oh, I'm not doing this well.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Like, I'm failing at this. And it's really like, I don't know if you've ever, like, had those kinds of moments where you're just like, I have no idea what I'm doing. Definitely. I mean, as you try to do new things, I think, like experience that more and more. But I think there's two powerful things in what you said that just hit home for me. One, I had these two amazing YouTuber journalists
Starting point is 00:24:37 on my show, Cleo Abram and Johnny Harris, and they said these quotes, I'm paraphrasing, never underestimate the viewer's intelligence, but never overestimate the amount of context they have when they're coming into watching a video or watching something. And I think that can be extrapolated across so many different fields, you know, because I think nowadays people underestimate people's intelligence, especially when it comes to viewing a piece of content. I think a lot, like people are smart and people want to learn, at least I truly believe that,
Starting point is 00:25:09 but they don't always have the context. And so, cause to me, I hope to always relate to an introductory creator or somebody. And if I get away from that, I feel like I'm, I don't know, getting too far away from the field. Like I always want to be connected to the beginner. Yeah. Even if I'm learning and trying to be the expert because if I can't distill
Starting point is 00:25:28 what I'm saying to that, I'm losing touch. Yeah. How do you see like technology and AI right now affecting what you do and are you, do you have any sort of fears or reservations about it? I think there's two sides to it. As a creator, I'm majority of my feeling about AI is I'm very excited about it. Because I think that right now, if you're creative and you feel like AI is coming for your job, I think that says something about your skill set right now.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Honestly, I think that good technology will always display something. And there if you, and there's a lot of like, there's going to be a rough patch and maybe we're already going through it in terms of like jobs and again, you know, and retooling and all that. But I think for the large part, it can be such a compliment and amplifier to getting more rough draft. I like to say like, there's this rough draft problem where one of the most overwhelming things as a creator
Starting point is 00:26:29 or maybe like anybody is looking at a blank screen versus looking at something that's even terrible and editing it. And having like a launch pad. Yes, yeah. And if an AI tool can give you a first draft as crappy as it may be, and you can edit it, and that first draft is based on
Starting point is 00:26:47 a prompt that you give it, so it's based on an idea, then you can move faster. Yeah. And so, yeah, I remember I wrote this post on my LinkedIn. I was like, it's like the Chipotle rule, I like to call it, which is like if you and I are going to dinner and we have our friends around, and maybe you had those moments where it's like,
Starting point is 00:27:07 hey, where do you wanna go to dinner? Where do you wanna go to dinner, Michelle? I was like, everyone, I don't know, I don't know. And then somebody's like, well, how about we go to Chipotle? And then everyone's like, no, we can't go, no, we're not going to Chipotle. Let me look up a few restaurants, you know? All of a sudden, you have a prompt
Starting point is 00:27:22 and you have something to build off of, and I love Chipotle like nothing wrong with it. But if we're going out to a nice dinner, like we're not probably not going to have like, you know, burritos. So it's like, like something like that just triggers more creativity. Yeah. And there's like amazing tools like, like, that you can like get a thumbnail idea concept. So yeah, I find that our tools that help clip and like,
Starting point is 00:27:48 repackage like something that you already have and put it into new formats and subtitles. So yeah, I'm very excited about it, but how do you think about it in terms of your field? No, it's super interesting because obviously it can generate a lot of writing, right? But when I look at the content, at first I was, I was amazed, right? And just sort of kind of trying to understand what I was grappling with.
Starting point is 00:28:11 But when you deal with more and more of the generations, you see the, the sort of repetition, you see the kind of, um, lack of tone or the mixtures of tone and you don't know how to fix it unless you have some understanding of how to edit. Right. So it's that technical skill coming into play. But I think what's really exciting and what you mentioned, which is, you know, if, if you're doing a job that you see as becoming obsolete, then there's something missing, right?
Starting point is 00:28:38 And I think what's really exciting about this moment is in the past, whenever we've had automation and you've talked about sort of technology displacing something, yes, it's been true, but really only since ATMs have we seen like a full displacement of a role and that actually generating new creative forms of labor. And so you saw actually banking do a really good job of turning into a services industry because this idea of just giving out money could be automated.
