I’ve spent the past two months vibe-coding an amazing project—honestly, it's something I’ve wanted to build for 30 years. And today, I'm finally sharing the beta here https://pcdnaiimpact.netlify.app/
Quick heads up before we get into it: please don't share this with anyone else just yet. We’re only sending to people in our community and some peers for now to get lots of feedback and input.
Welcome to AI and Impact Careers. It’s a one-stop shop to help impact professionals prepare for the future of work today.
We completely ditched the hype and the doom. Instead, we built something evidence-based that looks at how the nature of careers is actually changing.
Since it's a beta, it still needs some features, but right now we’ve got real news, deep dives on upskilling, a salary negotiator, a brilliant career coach and some actual humor. There’s even a safe space to ask all those AI questions you’re afraid to ask.
Right now, I just want you to test it. Break it. Help us understand what works.
Because it is a beta, not everything is perfect yet. The specific job listings aren’t fully live, for example, but there is an amazing job board in there right now to explore.
So, go check it out this week. Let us know if you feel inspired, terrified, or if it makes you want to quit your job and open a bookstore. All of that is valid.
To help us out, just click on "Beta Feedback" at the top of the site and tell us what breaks, what’s missing, and what makes you roll your eyes.
Anyone who leaves feedback and enters their emails gets entered to win one of five six-month Career Digest subscriptions.
Thanks for taking a look and helping us build this. Really.

Why I Left Journalism to Fix How People Get Their News
A career covering misinformation taught him how trust breaks. Now he's building something to fix it.
Today on The Social Change Career Podcast, I'm going live with Jack Brewster, founder and CEO of Newsreel, a social news app helping young people build daily news habits through short-form, interactive stories from vetted journalists.
Jack is a former Forbes journalist and NewsGuard Enterprise Editor. He broke the 2024 story uncovering the source of the viral false claim about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. Forbes 30 Under 30. Former Fulbright fellow. Newsreel was just named a 2025 Resource of the Year by the National Association for Media Literacy Education.
We'll talk about leaving journalism to build a company, what it actually takes to win back young readers, and how to design technology that builds healthy habits instead of outrage.

April 29, 3:00 to 4:10 pm EDT.

Musk and Altman face off in a trial that could reshape OpenAI — Opening arguments began today in the major case over whether OpenAI strayed from its original nonprofit mission.
