There’s been a lot of talk lately about the “scariest chart in the world” — the one showing job openings dropping 30% since ChatGPT launched, while the stock market shot up 70%. It’s an easy headline: “AI is destroying jobs and enriching investors.” But that’s not the real story. In my view, what’s happening right now isn’t job destruction. It’s economic reconstruction.

Being the President of the Rotary Club of Hamilton comes with a lot of responsibilities—running board meetings, supporting our projects, and, yes, making sure our golf tournament doesn’t end in flames. (Literally. Thank you to Past President Alex Moroz for putting out the BBQ fire before the fire department arrived!) This year, I had the unique honour of not only representing Rotary but also wearing my other hat as President of Vacu-Man Furnace and Duct Cleaning, a proud sponsor of the event. And what an event it was. For the first time, we merged the Rotary Golf Classic with the…

At our Rotary Garden Celebration, I had the privilege of unveiling a one-of-a-kind Dreamcatcher — handcrafted by my wife, Michelle Oldfield. Now, let me take a moment to say how…
Picture it: the early 2010s. Technology was exploding. Apple had just revealed a phone that didn’t need a button. Websites were morphing from static pages to living, breathing entities. And there I was, running a successful advertising agency, FPM3. We weren’t just pushing products—we were designing digital landscapes. We were the architects behind businesses’ online efficiency, taking them from “What’s an email?” to “When’s our next AI rollout?” in record time. https://youtu.be/bgMXNICzJPo The Birth of Tech Talk Then came Tech Talk. My old pal Bill Kelly, a smooth-talking morning show host on 900 CHML, handed me a golden mic and…

Enter Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot, and let me tell you—it’s about to shake up life as we know it. Imagine a future where your to-do list is tackled by a robot that does the dishes, folds the laundry, and even picks up your groceries. Yeah, I said it. All the boring stuff? Gone.
