Ep.120 | 2027 Online Business Predictions: The Trust Recession is Here (What to Do About it) with Shay & Mariah

 

Can you believe this is the Season 6 finale?! 120 episodes in, and Shay & I are STIL just as obsessed with figuring out what’s coming next lol

This epsiode is a fun one. We pulled out our crystal ball (aka all the patterns we’ve been noticing in our businesses, with our clients, and across the online space) and made our 2027 predictions. Spoiler: we think we’re in a trust recession. AI is everywhere, everything’s getting a lil’ shittier, and people are craving REAL humans more than ever.

But don’t worry, this isn’t a doom & gloom episode. We’re actually pretty pumped about where things are headed, and we’re sharing how & where we’re leaning in even more.

Enjoy the episode, and we’ll see you in Season 7! 🥳

Included in this episode:

➡️ What the “trust recession” is & why it’s getting harder to win over cold audiences
➡️ Why all this AI is making us crave humans even more
➡️ How sales are shifting & what Shay is noticing as a Sales Consultant
➡️ What more layoffs could mean for the online business space
➡️ Why keywords are STILL the glue (sorry, SEO isn’t dead)
➡️ What we’re noticing as buyers & what we’re craving to purchase
➡️ Play & simplicity as the ultimate zag when everyone is zigging
➡️ What we’re each looking forward to in 2027
