Totally Unacceptable with Ed Clementi

We Were Builders Once: When Job Security Was You

đŸŽ™ïž We Were Builders Once: When Job Security Was You

Before résumés.
Before layoffs.
Before waiting for someone else to decide your worth—
Job security was you.

In this episode of Totally Unacceptable, Ed Clementi takes us back to the forgotten roots of work itself—when self-reliance, skill, and contribution were the foundation of stability. And he exposes how we traded that independence for an illusion of safety.

You’ll learn:

  • How the “college–career–security” formula became one of the biggest lies of modern work.
  • Why handing your livelihood to a corporation isn’t stability—it’s surrender.
  • The mindset shift every professional needs in the age of AI and automation.
  • How to reclaim the value that can never be laid off, outsourced, or deleted.
  • Why self-belief is still the original skill set—and the only true job security you’ll ever have.

Because real leadership begins when you stop waiting to be chosen and start creating your own value.
 And forgetting that truth
 is totally unacceptable.

👉 Tune in to rediscover what we lost—and what it takes to build again.
