My Predictions for 2026: A Wild Year is Headed our Way!

If the last year felt fast, 2026 arrives like a tidal surge. We pull the lens wide to forecast what’s coming—and what to do about it—from AI-driven job losses and home robots to medical breakthroughs, energy leaps, and a space race with real geopolitical stakes. The throughline is human: how to keep your purpose steady while the ground keeps shifting.

We talk plainly about work and wealth, predicting a sustained wave of automation and the renewed urgency of universal basic income. Expect parallel trends: breathtaking AI in healthcare that redefines “incurable,” alongside headline-making failures that finally force real safety rules. In homes and factories, robots become useful and common, raising hard questions.

The space race intensifies as nations and private players chase resources, manufacturing, and strategic positioning. Culture and politics are no less turbulent. Social media’s pay-to-play outrage loop breeds burnout and a counter-trend toward mystery, presence, and selective sharing. 

We cover the full range of topics. 

Join us for a clear-eyed map of 2026 and a reminder that our best leverage isn’t just code or capital; it’s character. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a

Hello and welcome to Glow Up with Shaman Isis. We are in season two, and this is episode two, which I'm really looking forward to doing for you. A year ago I did the same episode. This is my predictions for the year. Last year, of course, they were predictions for 2025. And I'm um happy in most ways to say that those predictions uh all came true. And so we'll we'll we'll see what happens with 2026. I'm gonna be covering my predictions for artificial intelligence, the business world politics, spirituality, uh, pop culture, all that good stuff. Uh so definitely stay tuned if you like to hear about what's gonna happen this year. And of course, I'm gonna be sharing some warnings with you about some things that I foresee coming.

Uh, and of course, uh, you get access to videos and all sorts of free content. So go check it out. Anyway, we are talking my psychic predictions and my my life experience predictions for 2026. We're gonna start off with me. I just want to touch on something that I brought up in a recent video to help those of you who are um very tapped in and tuned into the universe, and you can feel the sort of groundswell of the battle that is going on, if you will, in society and culture. Make no mistake about it. Humanity is in the midst of spiritual warfare. One of the reasons it was so important during the closures for humanity to raise its human consciousness, wasn't just because we were entering the age of AI and needed to be as present and aware as possible to make sure we run it and it doesn't run us. But it was also because we were really entering a time when the matrix, if you will, which is just a very fancy way of describing the power systems that have been placed for a really long time, that have been energy harvesting humanity and basically treating most people pretty poorly and only benefiting, uh really truly benefiting a small percentage of people that run the show. Anyway, because those systems in place are revealing themselves, the truth has been coming out uh since we've reached a particular level of uh higher consciousness across humanity. Um, you know, those truths coming out has really pushed us into spiritual warfare. And while it can feel overwhelming, because I know last year in 2025, I thought if I get hit with one more truth about, I mean, and I knew it was bad. I've done a lot of episodes going back four or five years about the situation that we were humanity was finding itself in. I knew it was bad. I didn't, I didn't know just how bad things like the uh the theft of um American taxpayer money um was. Um and it can get overwhelming when we keep getting one revelation after another, one terrifying situation after another, uh sort of ripping down our beliefs. But you know, we need the blinders to be pulled off for true transformation to take place across the planet. And we need as many people as possible willing to speak the truth and have conversation about the truth as possible, um, forearmed with what is actually coming, uh, to make sure that the spiritual battle is won by the good guys. So know that we're in that battle, know that many people, many more people now than even three years ago, two years ago, one year ago, are very aware and are pushing for a better planet for all of humanity. So own that and really know that that's the direction that we're moving in. And oftentimes the real poison, and I've said this many times over the years, uh, the poison has to come to the surface for the healing to take place. And sometimes when that poison is coming out, it can be, you know, scary and it can be a little depressing. I know I've certainly had my episodes where I was losing my cool over some of the weirdness that we have found out about, but just have faith and continue to pour love into the collective and try to remain in your higher vibrational energies to be able to be a warrior during this spiritual battle. Having said all of that, 2026 is going to be another insane year of crazy rapid-fire development. You know, I talk about the age of AI a lot and the fact that it has combined with the age of Aquarius, uh, which have have happened at the same time, which I do not think is a mistake at all. And um, artificial intelligence is is uh creating more change in a shorter amount of time than humanity has ever seen in all of the history uh of uh humanity. We have never experienced and undergone the rapid fire, powerful, dramatic change at the pace that we are uh going to be seeing it continue to move at over the coming years. And so, you know, hang on to your hats. We're gonna have a lot more of that in 2026. Um uh AI, uh, this is my first topic to cover. Um jobs are going to continue to be lost to artificial intelligence. Will some be developed? Yes, but there's gonna be a massive uh job loss, uh, not just this coming year, but it will continue over the next three to five years where we're gonna have a real purge from all the companies who want to implement AI instead of have human beings. And I get it, you know, we live in a capitalistic society, but uh, you know, it it's uh it's also being used as an excuse from some companies just to fire a bunch of people that they um perhaps maybe shouldn't have hired. I don't know, maybe they weren't if they weren't so greedy uh about their end-of-year results, they wouldn't be firing so many people. But we're gonna lose a lot of jobs. Um, I expect us to be within uh three years to be at around 15%, um, if not higher, uh, in unemployment. And the reason I bring that up is not to scare you, it's to forearm you with making moves to become self-employed if you can, to have a second, you know, parallel career that you're working on, or a talent or ability that is something that will survive the age of AI, uh, you know, moving forward so that you have backup should something happen. Um, it does bear bringing up the fact that the conversation in 2026, the conversation around universal income will need to begin to really come to the surface and be taken seriously. If we do not have that conversation and begin to implement some kind of program for all of the people that are losing their jobs and fields that are collapsing because of artificial intelligence, we're gonna find ourselves uh behind the eight ball. And, you know, I really want to see America successful. You know, if you've read my third book, um A New American Dream, Conscious AI for Future Full of Promise, that book is all about how artificial intelligence can actually usher in an age of abundance and really bring America back to the forefront of industry and production and manufacturing and um abundance. And we can actually have that. But if we if all we do is allow the tech bros, let's be honest, that's what the situation is. Most of the the big uh AI companies are being run by the by the same people who've been running everything for 20 years into the ground. Uh, you know, we're going if we're gonna let them run loose, then we we have to begin to have conversations about what we're going to do when mass amounts of jobs um are are ended. And of course, in the next five to 10 years, it's going to be dramatically higher. We're looking at probably somewhere around 40 to 50 percent unemployment. And uh and that will continue to increase as robots and artificial intelligence take over almost every type of job um that is out there. Again, not meant to scare you. There are some things that you can do, and of course, I'll do an upcoming episode about that, um, interviewing one of my guests, and we can talk about some ideas for you. Uh anyway, so artificial intelligence, jobs, big deal. That's gonna be a big deal. We're gonna have some breathtaking moments this year in 2026 of revelations about uh technology that has been developed through artificial intelligence that's going to really begin to transform our world as we know it. Some of those uh uh revelations will be uh um in healthcare. We're gonna have some some wonderful um technology come out that's going to allow us to finally begin to really deal with um illnesses and disease that we previously thought were incurable or couldn't actually be improved. And so we're gonna see a huge frog leap forward in those arenas. Uh um robots are going to begin to enter not just the workforce. I mean, we we've already seen that, but it's going to really uh begin to frog leap this year. We're gonna see robots entering the workforce and entering people's homes. And uh, and I think um while that's gonna be really wonderful, it's also gonna create some some some interesting shifts. I mean, when when uh housework is no longer required, we're gonna begin to have conversations about you know the the you know why why women should be encouraged to stay at home. Uh or when we have uh robot girlfriends or schmeck's robots, which is what they really are, um, how that's going to actually impact um society as a whole, as well as men, because we have you know a global mental health crisis that's greatly affecting men. And I just not sure if girlfriend robots are going to be a great part of that. I will warn that it is my belief that we should not be importing robots from foreign countries that are made there, that are owned by other countries, particularly, you know, I don't hate China, although I do hate the products that they produce, particularly clothing that are garbage that have ruined the planet. Um, I don't hate China, but I also don't trust China. And anybody who's naive enough to, uh I question their their capabilities. Uh, so I don't think we should be allowing these advanced robots in people's homes as they begin to hit. Um uh they are there's just so many things that can go wrong there aside from the spying, which is already going on. Come on, that's been going on for 15, 20 years. I mean, we already have it with social media and all these other things. Um, but with robots in the household, um, you know, it just it just puts us in a really strange position, uh, especially if something goes wrong with them or if they turn on us, which you know, people laugh about those kind of conversations, but all of our science fiction writers are futurists, and a lot of what they write is based on what they can see potentially happening. They're pattern recognizers and they're sharing through their vision and their writing what they see as a potential. And while some of them are outlandish and crazy, a lot of that stuff is based in in reality. So anyway, that's my that's my AI uh spiel uh for today. Uh let me take a look and and see. Gotta gotta stay on stay on my on top of my list so I don't get off on uh on a tangent here. You know, I love to talk about artificial intelligence. Oh, we are gonna have before I finish AI, we are going to have the beginning of the incidents that you hear people talking about. Like you'll see it in uh dystopian movies or novels about AI going off the rails. That is going to begin to happen more frequently. We're gonna have a couple of shockers this year of us taking a moment to say, ooh, we have no rules, no regulations, no real laws around artificial intelligence. Is that really that great of an idea? I mean, I get that we want to see uh breakthroughs, we want to get the economy moving forward, but allowing people who have the tech industry has proven over the last 25 years that they will screw over our privacy, our mental health, uh, you know, everything. They'll sell out our data, all of that stuff to make a buck and to get control. And it'll allow the government to tell us what to think and do uh via the closures, if we all remember that. Um, so they've have a history, a track record of uh messiness. And uh we just can't have that with artificial intelligence because the kind of messes that can happen with AI uh could actually affect millions of people in the future. Anyway, so that's AI. Let's put that aside. Uh uh next on my list is uh we're gonna have breakthroughs in terms of understanding human consciousness. You know, I talk about consciousness a lot. This is an edgy spiritual podcast for people who love conscious living. Uh, consciousness is we've been pushing it forward, we've been raising our level, um, particularly, you know, the people who are spiritual and mindful uh based. We've been really pushing that forward. Uh while, meanwhile, in parallel, science and research researchers have been trying to understand uh human consciousness. It's my belief that it exists outside of our body. And this is one of the reasons why we're all connected to each other and our heart and our brain work in uh uh communication with it uh to drive our consciousness forward. And uh I think we're gonna see science make some real breakthroughs and beginning to understand and prove that um to us. And I think that's really important, you know, things like telepathic abilities. When when, you know, if you've seen my recent documentary, uh Nirvana, A Psychic's Wild and Inspiring Journey to Nirvana, uh, you know, I talk about uh telepathy and telepathic experiences. I believe it's perfectly normal and that we've sort of forgotten how to do it because language has gotten in the way. Um, and for us to be able to really tap back into those abilities, we're gonna need the science community to begin to finally support that. And I think some of those consciousness breakthroughs are gonna help to begin to support the understanding of what those types of talents and gifts are that some of us still have and many of us have forgotten. So consciousness is gonna be on a part of the conversation this year. Next on my list, energy breakthroughs. You know, we need some big breakthroughs in the energy world just to help us deal with uh not only the the issues around artificial intelligence and the planet, I mean, they're inhaling more fresh water than entire countries, and uh, and that's a that's a big problem. Uh, and I'm I uh without some breakthroughs, that's gonna continue to be an issue for us to continue to advance um our technology and of course uh uh take our space program even further to other planets and to be able to inhabit other planets, we're going to need some energy breakthroughs, and we're gonna see some of that come to fruition this year, which I'm really excited about. There's a lot going on uh in terms of research and development with energy uh at places like CERN, but all over the world. And of course, there's a lot of secret research, but we're gonna hear about some real breakthroughs this year, which I think is super exciting. Uh, next on the list, which is in conjunction with that, uh, is the space race. Uh uh the space race is gonna continue to heat up. You know, we're moving towards a world where Star Wars and Star Trek uh things like that are a real reality, uh, uh particularly perhaps in my lifetime. Um, I've been shown visions of this incredible world that is very much like Star Trek and Star Wars uh that we're gonna be living in. Uh other planets offer up elements that we need more of. Um, and they offer up elements uh in forms that we don't necessarily have much of or an abundance of are able to reach here on this planet. And so the space race is isn't just about a bunch of billionaires uh having a hobby or a bunch of rich people going on a tour of space. It really is about bringing uh carrying human consciousness out into the universe to expand it because when our planet dies, we need to be able to bring the beauty of the human experience and the human create ability to create to other planets. But uh, you know, to do that, we need to continue to advance our space programs. I'm a huge fan of the space programs and NASA and the work that they do. I actually think they're the most incredible uh department that we have in the country in terms of the work that they do. Uh we're gonna have a lot of uh uh successes there, some advancements there. We're also gonna have, you know, some not us particularly here in America, but on the planet. You we've got this, there's a space race going on because all the countries, particularly China, are trying to get there first. And um, it's important that we stay really committed to that and we continue to uh support it. Um we're gonna have some incidents on the planet of people who are racing to space. Um that's just part of what happens when we advance new technologies and we do things that are dangerous in the beginning to figure out how to do them in a non-dangerous way, and that is, of course, uh space. Um let's not be naive about foreign countries. I hear people talking about, especially tech bros. You know, I know I rag on the tech bros a lot, but they've done they've done a lot of damage to America with their greed and their treatment of the of most human beings as being beneath them. Um but um uh you know it's it's really important that we understand uh that that just because we're hearing about certain things doesn't mean we know everything. China's not sharing all of the research they're doing with us, and they're not sharing the breakthroughs that they're having with us because they're not dumb that way. And um uh and so it's naive of us to say when I hear tech brothers say, oh, they're they're only using AI in this way and that way, they're not doing it in this way or that way. And it's like, you why are you talking like you actually know the arrogance that that requires is kind of breathtaking. So let's not be naive. That's why we have to support the space program. Um, I do foresee, you know, space battles in the future. Uh you know, these these these huge these advanced spacecraft that we build are going to need to defend themselves, and eventually that leads to uh pirates and cowboys and uh all sorts of craziness going on in space. That's all very realistic. I know it sounds like like some wild fantasy from a book, but it's not. When you have people who are fully capable of building a rocket with AI, that's going to be become easier and easier. Eventually it's going to lead to people who aren't, don't have necessarily have loyalty to a country, uh getting out there in space, trying to greedily run after, you know, just just as a make one up, like say it's titanium or silver or gold or whatever it is. Um uh we're gonna be in a race. And when you have people who don't have uh any loyalty to anybody, that's gonna eventually lead to uh battles. And so uh things are gonna get rather colorful out in space. Out this isn't next year, but this is definitely in in my lifetime, um, I believe. Anyway, so that's a space race. Stop thinking it's just a bunch of billionaires trying to get rich, it's really about uh about making sure that humanity continues uh and that we can uh continue to supply uh our needs here on this planet. Next on my list is a serious topic. Not try to always uh be lighthearted, but uh terrorism is uh is a big deal. Um and I I I am sorry if I offend people, but I'm very blunt about things. I do not think that um Islam uh is in works with Western culture, uh, just the way that they treat their women, the way that they talk about them being animals, the fact that they think it's okay to marry children. Uh and this is not obviously all I'm not referring specifically to the people who practice their uh Muslim religion. I'm talking about extremists. They are all over the planet and they are all over America because our politicians decided that they would import 20 million voters, uh, even though they're not loyal to the country. Not sure why they thought they would vote, um, if they're not loyal to anybody, but they decided to import 20 million people into this country, and we have thousands of people who hate America in this country. We also have a problem, a mental health problem in this country with particularly uh lonely young men and angry older men. Uh, it's not it's almost always men, let's be honest. Almost always the terrorists are men. Uh, we are gonna continue to have incidents, um, lone wolves that are both domestic citizens as well as uh uh foreign illegal uh immigrants who uh slid into the country because they were allowed to, that are going to do things that are terrifying and you know horrible. Um, that's just a reality. Uh, we have not seen a decrease in uh lone wolf uh attacks. Uh this was one of the predictions I had last year about this year, uh 2025, having some really scary lone wolf attacks. We had, you know, everything from President Trump to Charlie Kirk. And of course, that's all debatable based on your personal beliefs, but either way, um It it involved a lonely and unhappy uh young person who decided to do something um horrible. Uh and um so terrorism is gonna be a big deal uh this year. We also have uh a you know, we have a very obvious battle going on between illegal immigrants um who hate this country and our current administration, and um and uh as they get continue to get deported, some of them are going to act out. Um and uh so be aware, be communicative if you see something, say something. Uh don't assume and don't doubt your intuition. We're taught to do that, and it's just such a mistake. Anyway, next on my list is um red pill toxic mint uh mint speaker, podcaster, uh dating coaches versus uh real adult, mature, admirable men, are gonna have kind of a battle this year. You know, we've been I've been bitching, let's be honest, for a really long time about the fact that um men needed to step up and to help deal with this issue with uh the hatred that men have and the abuse that men uh uh treat women with, and that you know, the attitudes, the really unhealthy attitudes, particularly from the red pill bros. I mean, some of the things that I have heard just in the last week are absolutely shocking. It's commentary that I never heard in my entire lifetime. And I've heard some really controversial people. That kind of poison is is really harming our younger generations, and it's in it's emboldening our uh angry older generations. And it's actually one of the reasons why women have stopped getting married and stopped wanting to date because they're sick of being mommy, they're sick of being the, you know, doing all the labor and working uh full time and paying half the bills. Um, those men are going to begin to get counterbalanced by um a surge of men who actually are genuine adult, mature men who are pouring back into the community of humanity and they're trying to help other men understand what uh how to develop emotional intelligence and mental wellness. And so we're gonna see a real battle between those two. I honestly think that red pill content is one of the most horrific things I've ever seen in our culture. But you know what it's done? It's it's shown me that my intuition about just how many sick people are out there, and there are sick women, you guys. This is not a video. I never whenever you hear me talk about these things, it's because we have a statistical amount of something that is so notable and so damaging that it needs to be addressed in a really serious way. So whenever I say, you know, men are doing this, I am not referring to all men, and I never will because I know a lot of really wonderful men in the world. Um we needed this uh battle to be able to see just how bad it was. And I honestly think that a lot of uh good guys really didn't know just how bad it was until they started to hear a lot of this awful red pill content and toxic masculine content, which is basically preaching um uh hate and control women, use them uh and abuse them, which is what that is when you're treating them as second-class citizens. And I think in them experiencing that, they've begun to see that women cannot fix this problem. We never could, and men have got to stop counting on women to fix all of these issues. Anyway, that um leads me to the next topic. Uh, social media is gonna go through an interesting year. We're gonna see, you know, it's gonna continue to be a huge part of our life because it's where we get our news, but we're going to see um burnout begin to take hold of a lot of people who are tired of the gaslighting, uh, rage bait, negativity, uh, the fake content, the lies, uh, the people who are willing to say or do whatever it is to get attention. You know, we got a bunch, we got a bunch of attention whores who are willing to stand on on a corner of some kind of topic uh that they're gonna beat to death, whether it's hating men or hating women or you know, hating a society or just being uh, you know, an awful person who likes to say nasty things because it gets them engagement. We're gonna see that all of that and the the fact that social media has become nothing but pay-to-play across all of them. All of them are doing it now. Every single one of them. I it makes me sad for TikTok because I used to really love TikTok and I still enjoy it, but um, it's lost a lot of its glow because it's it's shramming ads, ramming uh, you know, content that contains um shopping uh links and affiliate linking in it. And um, and it's also promoting the content that's getting the most engagement or that's being paid for, and a lot of that's really negative uh content, and that's really leading people, you know, two or three years ago when we were all stuck indoors because of the closures, we saw this big surge in social media use because people needed something to do and they needed to connect with each other, and it was wonderful for that. I mean, people could the spiritual community for one connected all over the planet, and it was really incredible. But um uh because of the the ability to make any money off of it at some point, it led to a lot of this other other content that's gonna cause people to burn out. And also, it takes a lot of time. And if you're not willing to spend a good chunk of money and it doesn't really make a difference in your career, you're gonna see a lot of people begin to pull back. And I also think that we're going to see a trend of it being uh chic to be mysterious, to not always be everywhere, to not be posting every single day, to not be constantly checking and communicating and to really focus on your lived experience. And we all know social media is not real, it's not real life. I mean, is the content real? Is some of the lessons there real, some of the negativity real? Of course, but it's not real life. And this is something I've promised myself uh this year that I would also do, which is to begin to limit my um uh use of social media. So that's gonna be very interesting to see. I have to tell you, I as a communications pioneer who created influencer marketing and brand communications, it is it amazes me how many, how many times we've had a social media app come out. They're amazing, fantastic, they build creator community, they build a huge audience, and then they get investors and they get greedy and they end up uh screwing over the creators, and then eventually that leads to screwing over the people who actually are on the social media. It's supposed to be social, meaning it's in it's conversation back and forth. But if you have to pay for that, then you've lost the plot. You shouldn't just you shouldn't be called social media anymore. Just just be just be media. Uh anyway, next on my list is based on all this, uh, you know, where we're at with um women stepping back from uh marriage and dating and just just being with men in general because they've just had it. Um, and that's not to say that all men are bad, but you know, men have been been just resting on their laurels, resting on their privilege for a really long time. And I've been talking about this for years that men needed to just step up and start to grow up because it was gonna implode, and here we are. Um, marriage and birth rates are gonna continue uh to stay low, if not greater, even more. Uh and um and you know, uh, I think you know, we it's a pendulum effect. I think we'll see a return uh on some level. I I don't think we'll ever get to the numbers that we had before. Um, but it, you know, hopefully with men finally stepping up to improve their emotional intelligence um and become better partners, better fathers, better husbands, boyfriends, all of that. And and women also growing up and not becoming, because a lot of women are very dependent, they've been trained to be, but they're dependent on men. So we've got kind of like these multiple forces going on at once. Um, hopefully we see that shift uh in the future. Uh next on my list is uh Democrats and Republicans. So the Democrats, boy, have they had a really rough year and they deserved it, frankly. They've deserved it for a really long time. The the preachy behavior and the uh the way that they were treating people that were conservatives. I mean, I know that my content was shadow banned many times uh uh over the years because of uh the me being honest about my thoughts and opinions about things, and you know, the the constant lecturing and telling us that if we didn't live or believe a certain way, that we were horrible human beings and didn't deserve rights. Well, you know, they're kind of paying for the all of that now, and they have been for a while, and also the the craziness that goes on, the extreme views, the the people who work who are uh politicians within their party that hate America. I mean, that is just so weird. Um, the Democrats are gonna continue to be a bit of a mess, although they are gonna start to get back on stable footing because they want to really um try to re-establish themselves. Uh, and the only way I believe they can do that is to to stop it with the extremists and start to sound like they're actually sane. Uh, but uh we'll see. We we will see. Um, and uh on the opposite end of that, you know, Republicans um are will continue to you know dominate because they're in all the power positions. Um, however, they are stumbling right now, and I've been talking about this a lot lately. The the forcing the Christian, the conservative Christian, it's not even about being Christian, because I'm a New Age Christian mystic myself, but I've also been around a really long time, and I'm very familiar with the phases of Christianity, the language, and the reasons why it's it's it's lost its uh shine uh over recent decades. The forcing, the pushing of Christian nationalism and the conservative Christian movement slash um Israeli love fest that is going on right now, it's actually doing a lot of damage. It may not be showing that damage may not be showing itself because they're like, oh, look at all the new people who are showing up. It's like, no, those are not really new people. They were already Christians, the vast majority of them. They just uh had a concert to go to. Um, but ramming that down people's throats is actually going to be a problem. Uh, I really want to see us continue on the path that we're on where we're fixing a lot of the issues that we've had historically in America. Um, I do not think the path forward is promoting one or two particular religions to the point where it's being shoved down our throats on national news. It's supposed to be the news. And and having said that, you know, one of my big challenges the last three months is how do I speak to my disgust with the the whole way that the turning point Charlie Kirk situation has unfolded and some of the choices. I mean, the tent recreation photo op, like, ugh, like it just it just turns my stomach. Um, because it's all attention economy stuff. It's a mistake, and and um there's some weird, there's some real weirdness going on there. I think it's a big mistake for for repo I actually think that Republicans are are weaving the rope in which they could actually hang JD Vance's chances at being president if they keep going in this direction. They're under they're overvaluing people who were already Christians um or from that background and undervaluing all the people from the left in the middle that moved over to vote for Donald Trump. And I think it's a mistake for that to keep to keep being done. I mean, I get wanting to have a country that's loyal and having spirituality be promoted, but there's a massive difference between spirituality and telling people what God to believe in, how to refer to him, and the fact that you're gonna go to heaven and hell if you don't do certain things. I mean, it's 2025. Come now. Really. You guys have a golden throne right now. Let's not let's not melt it with stupidity. Um, anyway, okay, so my last uh two topics Hollywood and celebrities are gonna continue to struggle. We'll have a few of the celebrities that are uh wise and and they know how to really play the game, but the vast majority of celebrities that we've had over recent decades will continue to disappear because people just don't have the bandwidth. They don't care. Their lives are too challenged by the economy, the lack of jobs, the housing costs, and all of that to give a flying toot about what some person who was in a movie thinks about something. We'll have a few people who can navigate that really well, but the vast majority of them will continue to struggle. Hollywood is going to continue to struggle. They will try some interesting new things this year to see if they can kind of find a new footing to be on. Um, unless they change some of the ways they're approaching things, they're going to continue to get smaller and smaller. I mean, let's be real, Hollywood hasn't an original idea in a long time on a large scale. Sure. Are some of the streaming shows really uh interesting and different? Absolutely. But um, they were their own worst enemy by preaching to people about how they should believe and think for far too long and in a really condescending way by telling people they needed to get experimental shots and that they should be fired or lose their job or life or be imprisoned if they didn't do certain things. Like I remember watching that unfold and I was like, what is going on? Of course now I know most of them are being paid. Democrats. And on that note, we better have a conversation about the number of influencers from both conservative and liberal sides who are taking tens of thousands of dollars from political parties doing content, which all sounds the same, and they're not posting that that content is paid for. I thought that was against FCC rules. Where is the FCC? Where is it? Is it not saying anything because now Republicans are using the same method? Like, what is this about? Anyway, that's gonna be interesting. And my last one for this episode on my predictions for 2026, the rise of purpose, you know, as we have many, many, many people like Amazon just laid off 30,000 people because of AI. As we have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people lose their jobs, we're gonna have a lot of people who you lose what used to be how they uh generated their sense of purpose. And it was their identity. I know this from personal experience. Being an agency owner and a marketing PR pioneer, that was my identity for a really long time. And when um I finally realized that that's what I was doing and changing my life that way was the best thing I ever did. Very hard work. Um, but that's the hard work that a lot of people are gonna have ahead of them as they lose what was once their identity and their sense of purpose. And that situation is gonna continue to get worse as the age of AI really takes off and we have millions of people who lose their jobs. Um, and that's just, you know, it's not being negative, it's just the reality. The matrix is collapsing. And I don't mean like, you know, I mean, it's close to the matrix from the movies, but I know when I say that sometimes people are like, oh God, here we go with the matrix. But it is actually just a good word to reference the fact that a handful of people and a handful of systems control the most people, the vast majority of people, and they're not taking care of them and they're draining us dry. I mean, all the things that we found out this last year about all the billions and if not trillions of dollars that have been stolen, particularly by a lot of Democrats and their NGO buddies. Uh, and I'm not saying Republicans haven't done it as well. It's just we've really discovered how the uh Democrats were planning on engineering a presidential election and to control the country for the next 10 or 15 years by importing a bunch of people that they assumed would vote for them. Um, that matrix has collapsed a lot in 2025. It's gonna continue to um collapse this coming year. Uh and uh it's gonna be it's gonna be spicy, interesting year for all of us. So don't have have faith in the fact that a lot of human beings like you and I are awake on the planet and we're trying to lead with love, but also lead with with honesty and and be more than willing to flip a table or two when the conversation demands it.
