Summary

I discuss why the "mid-funnel" has eaten the marketing world and why brands need to stop wasting money on "upper funnel" guessing games. I also dive deep into my prediction for the rise of "extreme analog" businesses - from physical retail to alternative sports - as a reaction to the explosion of AI. You’ll learn about: The Zero-Cost Distribution Opportunity Why I’m Betting on Pickleball and Wiffle Ball The Future of Live Social Commerce and TikTok Shop Why "Fresh Eyes" are Your Biggest Competitive Advantage
