Let’s be real… the online space is louder, faster, and more AI-fuelled than ever before.
So what’s going to actually cut through in 2026?
In this solo episode, Anita gets out her crystal ball (aka her sharp-as-heck gut instinct) to share the trends she sees rising, sticking, and shaping the way we market, sell, and show up in business this year.
These aren’t your average “use more video” tips. These are deep shifts — from the way we connect with our communities to the kinds of brands that’ll stand out in a world of sameness and automation.
If you want to zig while others zag this year, this one’s for you.
In this episode, Anita unpacks:
- Why real community will be your business’s best moat in the AI era
- The return of offline — and how one in-person convo can change your biz
- Why your weirdness is your edge (and how to embrace it unapologetically)
- The shift from niche to multi-dimensional personal brands
