My episode on The Higher Ed Geek — a podcast on the @Enrollify network — is live, and the timing couldn’t be better.

This week I’ve been writing about the collision of AI policy and workforce readiness. In this conversation, we went deeper on the question I hear most from higher ed leaders right now: How do we build AI governance that actually prepares students for the workforce — not just checks a compliance box?

We got into:

• Why AI governance and workforce preparation are the same conversation — and what happens when institutions treat them separately

• The skills gap that’s growing between what students learn and what the AI-driven labor market demands

• How faculty can move from AI anxiety to AI fluency — and why leadership has to pave that path

• What the future of learning looks like when AI is a partner, not a threat

If you caught my Forbes piece this week on why AI policy is really a workforce question, this episode is the companion conversation.
