📌 Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s issue:

• The urgent message Amazon’s CEO just sent to employees — and why parents should treat it like a flashing red warning light
  

• The shocking wage gap between workers who do and don’t understand AI (hint: it’s growing fast)
  

• A powerful family prompt engineering game that teaches your kids how to design their future career
  

• What Andrew Yang, the G7, and a few unlucky creators all want you to know about the next AI wave

🧠 The Big Idea: Another AI Wake-Up Call From Another CEO

When the CEO of Amazon publicly warns that AI will steal jobs, parents must take heed.

Andy Jassy did not beat around the bush.

In a recent memo to the entire company, he acknowledged that generative AI and "agents" — software that reasons and acts on your behalf — will cause job losses.

Not hypothetically. Not down the line. But soon, and at one of the largest employers on Earth.

But buried in that warning was something else super important.

A message to the employees of Amazon that, in reality, every parent who has an eye to the future must hear loud and clear:

"As we move through this transition together, be curious about AI, learn about it, attend workshops and training, use and experiment with AI wherever you can."

Again, he's not just addressing Amazon employees. He's addressing all of us. And in our view, parents especially.

If you’re not learning this stuff, how will your kids?

The companies your children will work for — or compete against — are already integrating AI across every department.

Customer service, marketing, logistics, legal, HR. Entire workflows are being rebuilt.

Jobs that exist now won’t soon. New ones will open, but only for those who are prepared.

A new study from PwC global shows just how fast this is happening:

AI-skilled employees are now earning 56% more than their equivalents — up from 25% last year alone.

Salaries are rising twice as fast in industries where AI exposure is highest.

That is not just a number. That is a sign.

Your child's future income — and your own career competitiveness — will soon hinge on how well you learn, collaborate with, and interact with AI.

This doesn't involve learning every tool or overnight expertise.

It's about momentum and moving in the right direction.

Even one step today puts you ahead of most families.

So here's your step:

Today's Action Plan below reveals how to start learning prompt engineering as a family.

It’s fun. It’s practical. And it’s the skill behind nearly every productive use of AI today.

Bottom line: Don’t wait for the next headline. You’ve been warned, again, by yet another of the most powerful CEOs on the planet.

💬 Future Proof Parent ACTION Plan

The Prompt Game: "Career Time Machine"

This fun exercise has your family imagine what work in 10–20 years might look like, and demonstrates how to teach AI with difficult, imaginative tasks using smart prompts.

Why This Works:

It connects AI with real-world thinking

* Illustrates how skills → jobs → income

* Inspires motivation without lecturing

* Instills quick-witted engineering skill by way of curiosity

Step 1: Set the Scene

Use ChatGPT, Claude, or whichever AI chatbot your family prefers.

Prompt:

"Imagine it's the year 2045. Tell me 5 unusual but realistic jobs that might exist for kids who are currently in school — and what they do every day."

Read the list out. Be shocked. ("Drone Swarm Traffic Controller"? "AI Empathy Coach"?)

Step 2: Dive Deep into One Job

Pick your favorite future job and prompt:

“Explain what a typical workday looks like for someone with this job. Make it understandable for a middle schooler.”

Suddenly, abstract jobs become tangible. You’ll get tasks, tools, skills — even sample schedules.

Step 3: Build the Resume

Prompt:

“What kind of skills would someone need for this job? What should they study or practice now to be qualified in 10 years?”

Now it's real. That makes your kids (and you) get how tomorrow's jobs originate in today's routines.

Step 4: Career Day, Future Edition

Let each family member pick a different occupation, and then have them ask:

"Describe this occupation in one sentence as if you're telling a class on Career Day."

Walk around and show and tell. You'll get giggles, and some insights, and maybe some inspiration for a dream you didn't even know your child had.

Step 5: Bonus Round — AI Tools in Action

Challenge:

"What AI tools will someone with this job use daily? Explain how they assist."

That teaches them the nuts and bolts of AI at work. Not science fiction, but working life.

Even if the very near future really does feel like science fiction come to life. 🤖
