It seems like the world of wealth building in 2026 is harder than ever. With stocks selling off amid disruption panics, oil crises in the Middle East threatening inflation, and an ever-growing affordability crisis, how can we ever hope to build a life that’s better than our parents’? I don’t know the whole answer, but figures like Jay Samit are trying to do what they can to help.
In his new book, The Second Act Advantage (Available for Preorder Now), Jay Samit lays out a framework for people looking to start their second act towards wealth, freedom, and longevity in the AI age. Jay Samit is an international bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and one of the world’s leading experts on disruption and innovation. Described by Wired as having “the coolest job in the industry,” he has helped build companies like LinkedIn, Sony, and Universal Studios, raised hundreds of millions for startups, and pioneered technologies used by billions. A former independent vice chairman of Deloitte Digital, Samit is the author of The Second Act Advantage, Disrupt You!, and Future Proofing You and is widely sought after by Fortune 500 leaders, governments, and global institutions for his insight on reinvention, longevity, and the future of work.
In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of talking with him about the future of AI, how he sees this disruption playing out, and how tools included in his new book, including a unique AI agent called Digital Jay, can help you stay ahead of the curve.
