S3 Ep1-What will actually win in 2026 (And Why Most People Will Miss It)
Thu Jan 01 2026
In this special 36-minute episode, I am interviewed by my children, Paige and Saul, for a candid, future-focused conversation on what will actually win in 2026-on social media and in business.
Stripping away trends, tactics, and algorithm-chasing, I share why the next era belongs to those who understand the Story Economy, where authenticity, leadership, and lived experience outperform automation, shortcuts, and surface-level influence.
Together, we explore:
• Why storytelling has become the most valuable currency in an AI-driven world
• What authentic personal brands will need to do differently in 2026
• How leadership is shifting from authority to connection and trust
• Why people are done with perfection... and drawn to real human journeys
• What businesses and creators must focus on now to stay relevant long-term
This episode is thoughtful, honest, and deeply human, a rare intergenerational conversation about meaning, identity, and building something that lasts in a world of constant noise.
If you’re a founder, creator, coach, or leader navigating the next chapter of digital culture, this conversation will challenge how you think about growth, influence, and impact.
🎧 Listen if you want to understand what’s coming- not just what’s trending.
