Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I break down the biggest shifts in consumer behavior I’m seeing in 2026. 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
