This week on The Nourished CEO, I'm breaking down the 10 major trends that will define the online health and wellness industry in 2026. You've probably heard people say the industry is shifting, but almost no one is explaining what that actually means for you as a practitioner, coach, or expert. Today, I'm unpacking exactly what's changing, why it matters, and how to adapt in a way that makes your business feel clearer, simpler, and more profitable. If you've been feeling like old strategies aren't working anymore, or you're noticing that clients are becoming more overwhelmed and more selective, you're not imagining it. These trends are already unfolding, and the entrepreneurs who learn to simplify, personalize, and focus on real transformation are the ones who will thrive in 2026. Timeline Summary [00:00] – Why 2026 will look different for online wellness entrepreneurs and why old strategies are losing effectiveness. [03:18] – Trend #1: The Great Opt Out of traditional health insurance and what the shift to cash pay and concierge models means for your business. [10:56] – Trend #2: Why session-by-session healthcare is fading and transformation-based programs are gaining momentum. [15:49] – Trend #3: Clients want less information and more implementation. How to create a minimum viable offer that gets results without overloading people. [20:15] – Trend #4: The breakdown of trust in healthcare and how listening and personalization set you apart. [25:45] – Trend #5: On-demand expert access. Why asynchronous support is becoming more valuable than more calls. [29:52] – Trend #6: Long-form content is making a comeback and why serious buyers are moving away from short-form social media. [35:36] – Trend #7: The "trust recession." Why buyers are more discerning and how to communicate what truly makes your approach different. [39:52] – Trend #8: How I use AI ethically to organize my thoughts and streamline communication without outsourcing my voice. [45:08] – Trend #9: Hyper specificity and why niching is essential for marketing, messaging, and paid ads in 2026. [48:35] – Trend #10: Simplicity and elegant systems. Why reducing complexity is the only way to stay profitable without burning out. Top 5 Quotes From This Episode "People are exhausted by the noise. They're done with cookie-cutter protocols and they're not paying premium prices for information they could have just Googled." "If you're still using the same strategies that worked even two or three years ago, you're going to feel like you're running uphill in the wrong direction." "Your clients want the best possible results with the least amount of extra work, and if your offer feels like a second full-time job, they're out." "With AI everywhere, anyone can look like an expert. Buyers want to know why they should trust you and what makes your approach different." "Simplicity isn't optional anymore. It is the only way your business will stay profitable without draining your life."

In this forward-looking episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni unpack the key trends shaping the global speaking industry as we head into 2026 and beyond. Maria shares insights from her presentation at the Speaker Summit & Awards on the Future of the Speaking Industry, while James brings field reports from 25 countries — including Saudi Arabia, Dubai, the Philippines, and New Zealand — revealing what's really happening in global event markets. Together they discuss where speaking opportunities are growing, which regions are slowing down, the rise of hybrid events, the impact of AI and generative search, and why bookers are demanding greater ROI and customisation from every speaker they hire. Whether you're an emerging or established speaker, this episode will help you stay ahead of market shifts, adapt your marketing, and future-proof your speaking business.     Key Takeaways ROI is everything – Bookers expect measurable value and tangible takeaways from every speaker. Stack your value – Offer panels, Q&As, and workshops to increase ROI and referrals. Hybrid events aren't going away – Learn to master both live and virtual audiences. Recording is now standard – Expect to be filmed; be clear on how your footage is used. Customisation is essential – Tailoring your keynote builds trust and repeat bookings. AI tools are reshaping marketing – From James's Taylor-Made AI tool to generative SEO (GEO/AEO), speakers must adapt fast. Bookers are getting younger – They're digital natives searching on social media and ChatGPT. Video expectations are changing – Bookers want full-length clips, not just highlight reels. Industry recovery is uneven – It's a K-shaped comeback: top speakers thrive, many others struggle. Global trends – Middle East (Riyadh-focused), Southeast Asia, and Turkey are hot; Europe and the US are mixed; India is poised to boom.     Memorable Quotes "It's not enough to show up and speak — you have to show clear ROI for the booker and the audience." – Maria Franzoni "Stack your value. Go beyond the keynote — moderate, run a panel, do a workshop." – James Taylor "If you're saying no to being recorded, you might not get chosen." – Maria Franzoni "We're moving from SEO to GEO — from search engine optimisation to generative engine optimisation." – James Taylor "You don't need to be on every social platform, but you do need to be where your next generation of bookers are." – Maria Franzoni "Be passionate about your topic. Audiences forgive nerves but never indifference." – James Taylor     Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome, party season, and comedy talk 02:52 – Introducing today's theme: Speaking Industry Trends 03:20 – What bookers want in 2026: ROI and added value 06:01 – How James stacks value with workshops and panels 07:59 – Hybrid events: why they're here to stay 10:09 – The rise of recording and licensing considerations 12:26 – Customisation and tailoring expectations 14:53 – Using AI for keynote research and relevance 16:41 – James's new "Taylor-Made AI" keynote customisation tool 17:59 – From SEO to GEO: adapting to generative search 18:59 – Younger bookers and digital-native expectations 21:04 – How bureaus help new planners avoid mistakes 23:12 – The K-shaped recovery in the speaking market 25:41 – Why innovation speakers are struggling and AI speakers are thriving 26:52 – Showreels and video trends: longer, more authentic footage 28:06 – Why TED-style talks are losing impact 29:58 – Digital twins and AI-driven content for speakers 32:38 – Global hotspots: Middle East focus shifting to Riyadh 36:10 – Asia and India's fast-growing opportunities 39:20 – Europe's uneven landscape and UK fee pressures 42:14 – The US outlook, shifting city destinations, and Latin America's rise 44:28 – Wrap-up and call for listener suggestions    Resources & Links

Our special guest, Dan Harris, founding partner at Harris Sliwoski and renowned author of the China Law Blog, brings a wealth of expertise and candid insights into the current trade dynamics and business environment amidst the shifting sands of international relations.Introducing Dan HarrisConnect with DanDan Harris is a distinguished legal expert with extensive experience in navigating the legal landscapes of China and other emerging markets. Known for his prolific contributions to major publications like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Forbes, Dan is a thought leader whose perspectives are highly valued by businesses operating on the global stage. Drawing from his vast experience, Dan provides an unfiltered view of the challenges and opportunities that come with doing business in China.The Complexities of Tariffs and Trade RelationsIn this episode, we delve into the intricate world of tariffs with Dan Harris. The discussion highlights the unpredictable nature of current trade policies under the administration, particularly with the ongoing tariff tensions between the United States and China. Dan shares his observations on the challenges companies face in managing tariffs and the varying strategies they are employing to navigate these turbulent waters.Despite not being a "tariff person" by trade, Dan has found himself entrenched in the subject due to its pervasive impact on his clients. As tariffs remain a key tool for leveraging international negotiations, Dan elucidates the difficulties in predicting policy outcomes and advises companies to make informed decisions rather than hasty moves that could lead to greater risks.The Reality of Manufacturing ShiftsDan discusses the nuances of shifting manufacturing from China to countries like Cambodia. While some companies are scrambling to escape high tariffs by relocating manufacturing, Dan warns of the complexities and potential pitfalls involved. He illustrates how many companies risk falling into traps of willful ignorance regarding the origins and true nature of their products.Through concrete examples, Dan shows how businesses are reacting to tariffs with varying degrees of success, from opportunistic legal maneuvers to panicked relocations that may not fully alleviate risk. His insights remind us that strategic, informed decision-making is crucial for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of international trade.Business Environment in China: Past and PresentReflecting on the changes in China's business environment, Dan Harris offers a historical perspective on the shifts in regulatory practices and the current state of affairs for foreign companies. While challenges remain, he argues that, in many respects, it has become easier to do business in China with clearer laws and better enforcement against unfair competition.Dan shares how his early optimism about China's market potential evolved over time, highlighting both his successes and misjudgments in this complex arena. Yet, he remains hopeful about China's future, emphasizing the intrinsic dynamism and adaptability of its people and businesses.Final Thoughts on US-China Trade DynamicsThe conversation rounds off with a discussion on the US government's recent decisions in the tech sector, particularly concerning Nvidia's ability to sell chips to China. Dan underscores the importance of clear policies and consistent application of rules, not only to foster better business environments but to maintain a stable international order.This episode, rich with firsthand insights from Dan Harris, provides valuable lessons for anyone involved in or considering entry into the Chinese market. His experienced perspective offers both caution and optimism for navigating the current trade landscape.Thank you for tuning in to this insightful episode.

I'm a genius. Profits down? I should've gone to law school.” “You're not screwing up your business. You're just in a cycle. Don't burn the house down.” “Strong marketing makes for easy sales. Weak marketing makes for hard sales.” “Don't try to fix everything from street view.

Will artificial intelligence help you do your job, or will it just straight-up do your job and leave you unemployable? Or will the future bring something else entirely — either between those two extremes or a world that we simply cannot imagine yet? And are we already starting to see signs of that future emerging? On this episode of The New Bazaar, Cardiff is joined by economist Nathan Goldschlag, Research Director at the Economic Innovation Group. Until recently, Nathan was Principal Economist at the U.S. Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies, where among other things he led research on the impact of technology, including AI, on the economy. Any worthwhile list of the world's best economists on the subject of AI and work would have to include him. Cardiff and Nathan go through Nathan's own research* and also filter out the megaton of nonsense on the topic and discuss some of the work done by others — research, essays, meanderings — that they think is actually worth sharing with listeners. They discuss, among other things: How many businesses are now using AI to produce goods and servicesHow have things changed since the launch and popularization of large language modelsEconomic growth consequences of AIWhether “learn to code” is still good advice The skills that still matter To steer or not to steer the AI future* Nathan's research on AI was done in collaboration with a large team of researchers at the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau including Emin Dinlersoz, Lucia Foster, David Beede, John Haltiwanger, Zach Kroff, Nikolas Zolas, Gary Anderson, and Eric Childress, along with program area partners including Kathryn Bonney, Cory Breaux, Cathy Buffington, and Keith Savage, as well as academic partners including Daron Acemoglu, Erik Brynjolfsson, Kristina McElheran, and Pascual Restrepo.

Are you ready for some Tai-d and True Wisdom today? I'm pleased to welcome back guest Tai Lopez, the OG of online influence to the podcast today. So where has Tai been and what's he up to? Tai opens with his self-imposed sabbatical and how he's back and ready to drop game-changing knowledge. Check it out:

Nelson Gomes, CEO of Portalia Group and former MSP, discusses the evolving landscape of managed service providers (MSPs) in light of recent data indicating a shift in the American workforce towards larger businesses. With 53% of Americans now employed by companies with 500 or more employees, Gomes emphasizes the need for MSPs to pivot their sales strategies to target larger organizations rather than relying solely on small businesses. He notes that while the small business sector has traditionally been viewed as the backbone of the economy, the data suggests a significant consolidation trend that MSPs must adapt to.The conversation also touches on the impact of big tech platforms like Facebook, Amazon, and Google on small businesses, highlighting the challenges these companies face in leveraging these platforms for advertising and sales. Gomes suggests that MSPs should not only recognize these challenges but also find ways to leverage these platforms to their advantage. He advocates for a shift towards digital marketing strategies, particularly for smaller MSPs, to enhance their outreach and client acquisition efforts.Leadership changes at major MSP platforms, such as ConnectWise and Kaseya, are also discussed. Gomes views these changes as a natural evolution within the industry, suggesting that new leadership can bring fresh perspectives and innovations that ultimately benefit MSPs. He believes that both ConnectWise and Kaseya will continue to compete vigorously, with each offering unique advantages that MSPs can leverage to improve their service delivery and profitability.Finally, Gomes highlights the recent acquisition of Orchestrate AI Labs by New Charter Technologies, which aims to integrate artificial intelligence into their service offerings. He praises this move as a forward-thinking strategy that allows MSPs to develop proprietary solutions rather than relying on third-party vendors. This acquisition reflects a broader trend in the industry where MSPs are increasingly investing in technology to enhance their service capabilities, ultimately positioning themselves to better meet the evolving needs of their clients.
