AI is transforming how we work — but it can't replace being human.

In the latest 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 episode with LaShana Lewis, LaunchCode Labs CEO Mara Morrison shares why adaptability and emotional intelligence are the new competitive advantage.

We're putting that belief into action with 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 — three free courses built to move people into AI-enabled jobs.

The first, AI 101, launches 3/15.
Your assignment: build an AI agent that saves you at least one hour per day.

No coding background required.
5–8 hours a week.
Free.

If you're navigating career growth in an AI-powered world, this one's for you.
