If you're tired of chasing trends, this episode is your reset.

I'm sharing my 2026 marketing predictions and the five year pattern I uncovered while looking back on how marketing has shifted since 2021. I talk about AI fatigue, micro communities, content systems, earned trust, and why seasonality is going to matter more than ever next year.

This episode is all about doing what matters and creating a marketing approach that supports your real life, not just the algorithm.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about:

• Why AI will be the backbone, not the boss
• Why micro communities are outperforming big audiences
• How sustainable content systems will take over
• Why earned trust beats trend chasing
• How seasonality is reshaping marketing
