Every business wants to cash in on the latest trend, and for good reason. Trends can be powerful tools to enhance your positioning. However, it's crucial to recognize that not all trends are a universal fit for every company. Blindly adopting trends without thoughtful messaging can lead to disastrous outcomes for your business.

Today, I’m diving deep into the world of trends. You’ll learn the following:

The difference between markets and trends
How trends can be layered on top of your differentiated value
Why it’s a risky move to chase trends that aren't relevant to your business
Real-world examples of companies incorporating trends, both successfully and poorly
An overview of AI technology and how to address it in your business

Thanks for listening!
