Adam shares how Flyhomes helps everyday buyers purchase a new home before selling their current one, making a cash like offer possible without needing a massive stock portfolio.Adam also reflects on the less visible side of early career success, mentorship, guidance, and the unspoken norms people used to absorb simply by being around colleagues. From a candid early career mistake at Lehman Brothers to the practical reality of training juniors in smaller organizations, he explains why the biggest challenge is not young people themselves but whether companies have the bandwidth to coach them well.The conversation then turns to the AI shift and why the old trade off of training plus grunt work no longer holds. Adam explains how AI can complete tasks that once took a junior half a day in seconds, and why early career candidates now need to stand out through curiosity, initiative, and AI native fluency. Jeremy connects this to Pega6, a one year, AI first college alternative designed to produce job ready entry plus employees, and they close on a key challenge for the next generation: learning how to grow in remote environments by intentionally creating mentorship and high quality feedback loops.Key Moments04:24 \"Importance of Mentorship for Beginners\"09:32 \"What Makes Candidates Stand Out?\"10:27 Proactive Growth and Genuine Curiosity14:58 \"Career-Focused Accelerators for Graduates\"19:11 \"Beyond Boot Camps: New Accelerators\"22:56 \"Embracing AI for Research\"26:48 \"Be a Cyborg, Not Replaced\"29:31 Economic Shifts in Tech Revolution32:25 Technology Disrupts, Creates Jobs35:32 \"Emerging Role: Internal Product Builder\"38:24 \"Adapting to Emerging Relevance\"40:23 \"Remote Work Challenges...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0HG6UF5XKoF54XdQK1i9GnDgbpW-s6fMDPS0W09yY0k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xODQ0/MzM5YTFkMGEyOWE1/MjcyYTAzMjk3MjRh/MWJmOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
