In this episode of Shifting Schools, Tricia Friedman launches a summer miniseries on the Fourth Industrial Revolution—also known as Industry 4.0. Guest Ann Nka, an expert in psychology, education, and business, breaks down how to develop a GET Ready Mindset (Global, Entrepreneurial, Technological) to stay ahead in a world shaped by automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and technological advancement.
We discuss the changing nature of work, the rise of the gig economy, and how students and professionals can build resilience with creativity, adaptability, and interdisciplinary learning. This conversation connects to larger themes presented by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and thought leaders like Klaus Schwab, who coined the term Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Learn why it’s time to shift from thinking about job titles to focusing on skills, impact, and lifelong learning. If you want to succeed in the age of smart manufacturing, digital twins, and cyber-physical systems, this episode is for you.
