Your biggest opportunity in 2026 is systematically upskilling your workforce on AI.
Your biggest threat in 2026 is letting them "figure it out".

Wait what? So Twitter has to fork over 30% of ad revenue to Apple for Sponsored Tweets? And Pinterest for their ads, and YouTube, and on and on? Is this going to fly? I would think not?
sometimes I get a connection request on LinkedIn and I look at the person's background and their note and for a moment I feel, "you know what? maybe this person actually DOES just want to connect. for good vibes! ok, I'll do it."
then I immediately get a DM pitching lead gen.
#adtech companies should NOT be focusing their story on identity right now. everyone is doing that. you just sound like everyone else, and no identity solution seems differentiated. also, marketers are kicking the can down the road.
zig while everyone else zags.
