In our view there is already a ton of coverage of the trends that ivory tower professors and billionaire fund managers are seeing. What’s the edge in hearing the billionaire consensus view over and over again?
The edge comes from hearing new perspectives and new information like from the wedding planner who has worked with hundreds of couples during the pandemic and has noticed that couples are allocating significantly more of their wedding budgets on “small details” like personalized neon signs and eco-friendly customized digital invitations rather than paper invites. Or the accountant seeing how there’s a huge uptick in ecommerce clients generating revenue from in person popups.
Below, you’ll find some of the most thoughtful entrepreneurs and creatives in across various industries and markets sharing the trends they are seeing.

One of the strongest trends right now is the rise of #CleanGirlAesthetics — wellness as a lifestyle. It’s all about living with ease, care, and beauty. She starts her mornings with movement, sips green juice, lights a candle while getting ready, goes for long walks, and chooses spaces that feel soft, inspiring, and curated with love. Read more>>

Broadly speaking as a consumer brands investor and advisor, I’m seeing shifts to community and “fourth places” that are centered around passion/purpose-driven social clubs – places that are engineered for connection and growth. Specific to what we’re building with Miami Racket Club, we’re witnessing a meaningful shift: the game is evolving from a performance-focused sport into a cultural signifier, much like golf, running, or cycling have over the past decade. Today, people want more than a court. They want a community, an aesthetic, and an identity to match. Read more>>

One of the biggest shifts I’m seeing in the personal branding space is a move toward docu-style marketing content and a growing trend of employees using their personal brands to elevate their company’s presence. Regarding marketing content, people are craving realness. We are moving past the overly polished messaging. In fact, I recently saw a post from Filmsupply that said 2025 is all about making people feel something. With the rise of AI-generated content and tools like ChatGPT, a lot of brand messaging is starting to look and sound the same—clean, perfect, and totally lifeless. Read more>>

Qualified Accountants are leaving public accounting at a massive rate. It seems to be due to the overwhelming stress of tax season and many of the larger firms will work someone countless hours all year round (not just tax season). Read more>>

One of the biggest trends I’m seeing in the equine community is one that likely sounds odd to those outside the horse world. It is a concept that I believe the average human would assume has always existed, or at least one that has existed for the last hundred years. That trend is simply – the dedication to the wellbeing and happiness of our horses. Read more>>
