Episode notes

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it actually takes to stand out right now. The algorithms have changed. Attention is harder to earn, and “good content” isn’t enough anymore. In this episode, I sit down with Andi Eaton to talk about why having a clear point of view is no longer optional if you want your brand to grow in 2026 and beyond. We talk about what makes people stop scrolling, why being “vanilla” is the fastest way to disappear online, and how founders can stop diluting their message when they have multiple passions, products, or businesses. Get ready to build differently in 2026.
