Cloudflare just posted the best quarter in its history. Then it cut 1,100 jobs.
Oracle? Cut ~30,000 while profit jumped 95%.
This isn't a recession. The money didn't vanish — it changed lanes. Out of human payroll, into AI chips. Economists are calling it "the jobless boom."
And Cloudflare's CEO told everyone exactly who's getting cut: the "measurers." The people who coordinate, schedule, and route work between other people. AI does that now — instantly.
But here's the part nobody's saying out loud: the SAME shift that's cutting coordinators is making builders richer than ever. One guy deleted a $2,000-a-day cost from film sets with a single app. A teenager sold his AI app for $30 million.
Today I break down which side of the line you're on — and exactly how to move to the side where the money landed.

Companies aren't replacing people who leave, making it harder to find a new role. The hot jobs report also means interest rates aren't dropping soon. If you have a job, make yourself indispensable. If you're looking, move fast before the door closes completely.

172,000 jobs added in May. Double what anyone predicted.

You'd think the stock market would throw a party.

Instead it had its worst day in over a year. One point eight trillion dollars gone in a single session.

Here's the part most people miss: a GOOD economy means the Fed isn't rushing to cut rates. And a market betting everything on cheap money got a cold bucket of water.

But here's what matters for YOU, not just for traders.

When the market gets scared, it stops paying for hype and starts paying for proof. The same thing is happening to careers right now. Nobody's buying your potential. They want to see what you've actually built.

A strong jobs number that still leaves long-term job seekers stuck. An AI trade that cracked overnight. And regular people quietly building real things while everyone else panics.

We break it all down on today's Daily Climb — and show you exactly how to be the person who gets paid for proof.

Warning: The job search can be dangerous territory when desperation sets in. Scammers are using your online info to create convincing fake job offers, with some even promising salaries like $900,000 a year. AI makes these scams cheaper and faster. Young people are especially vulnerable as they may not recognize normal hiring processes. Be aware of red flags, especially pay that's way too high for the role.

The May jobs report just dropped — and the number is brutal. 97,000 jobs cut. The worst May since 2020.

If you have a job right now, you're probably okay. Companies aren't firing in waves. But if you're LOOKING? It's one of the hardest markets in years. Nobody's hiring. Nobody's quitting. The whole thing is frozen.

And when people get desperate, the sharks come out.

A woman who literally helps people find jobs for a living almost got caught. She got an email — a position paying at least $900,000 a year. It looked real. It had a photo. It used her actual background. But one detail gave it away: it came from a Gmail account. As she put it — nobody emails you a $900K job from a Gmail.

But here's the part that gives me hope. In the same frozen market, people are still winning.

A woman left Salesforce in her 50s to build her own AI company — and her 20 years of "old" experience turned out to be her biggest advantage. Two guys failed at five different app ideas before building one that now makes $144,000 a MONTH. And in our own community, a member walked into a reorg where people lost their jobs — but he had the receipts to show what he built, and instead of getting cut, his boss expanded his entire role.

The lesson? The freeze doesn't hit everyone the same. It freezes the people who only coordinate. It funds the people who build.

That's the whole show today. Watch the full breakdown and learn how to put yourself on the right side of this market. 👇

Imagine crushing your department's revenue goals, presenting a stellar report, and then your boss cuts your pay by 12%. That's the unbelievable reality faced by a major AI company. Record sales, record profits, and the market still says 'Not enough.'

06/04/2026

Something strange happened last night.

Broadcom posted a record. Record sales. Record profit. Their AI business doubled in a single year.

And the stock dropped 12% anyway.

Read that twice. A record... and the market still said "not enough."

That same pressure — the one punishing a company for only being great — is the exact pressure landing on your desk at work. Your boss doesn't want good anymore either. They want more, with fewer people.

But here's the part most people miss. A former Google engineer broke down who AI is actually coming for. He said it's not the engineers. It's the people who only do ONE thing. The ones who never learned to talk to customers, to lead, to make the call when there's no clear answer.

The folks who survive this? They learned to be a one-person team. To do the work of four.

On today's Daily Climb, I break down where the money moved this week, why applying online feels broken (hint: 1 in 4 listings may be fake), and the exact moves to make THIS week — including a free certification that closes Sunday.

We don't panic here. We position. 🧗🏾‍♂️

Broadcom crafts the essential chips powering AI for Google, Microsoft, and Meta. They're the indispensable 'steel' of the AI skyscraper, facing unprecedented demand. Their AI chip business alone is set to double this year. Demand is simply outstripping supply.

Everybody's scared of AI taking the jobs. Almost nobody is watching where the money is actually moving.
This week it moved big — and it left a map.
💻 The smartest people in AI just said it plain: the data center is coming to your laptop. The same power that lived in giant buildings now runs where YOU work. That's not a threat. That's leverage — if you go grab it.
📊 A Harvard grad with a ticking visa clock cracked the Google code, and his math is brutal and simple: 100 cold messages → about 8 replies → 1 real lead. But the job? It came from ONE warm intro. Referral beats cold apply. Every single time.
🔐 And while some jobs are getting cut, one company just held 800 customer meetings in 6 weeks to defend against AI threats. That fear is now a paying job.
We break down all of it — plus the FREE certifications you can grab THIS WEEK to get in the door.

In just 18 months, Cursor, an AI coding tool with 300 employees, exploded from $4 million to $2 billion in revenue. This 100X growth is unlike anything seen before. It's like giving one person an excavator instead of 50 people shovels. If your competitor has the excavator and you're still using shovels, you won't survive.
