This isn't a conversation about resolutions, hustle, or chasing the next shiny tactic. It's a grounded, strategic look at what's actually going to separate thriving practices from struggling ones in the year ahead. In this episode, we zoom out to reflect on the shifts shaping our industry—maturing consumer behavior, increased economic discernment, rapid AI expansion, and the quiet erosion of average experiences—and what those forces demand from today's leaders. You'll hear the 10 defining predictions for 2026, including why retention will outperform revenue growth, how client experience becomes a competitive advantage, why personalization replaces price-driven luxury, and how human-centered leadership will quietly win in an increasingly automated world. This episode is for the founder who's been building infrastructure while others chased shortcuts. For the leader who values depth over noise, intention over urgency, and trust over tactics.
