The Evolution and Future of MediaThe story of media is one of constant evolution, reflecting the ways humanity communicates, consumes, and creates. From the early days of radio to the ever-changing landscape of digital content, the trajectory of media provides a fascinating lens through which to view technological progress and societal shifts. Let's dive into how media has transformed and explore what lies ahead.The Ever-Present ScreenTake a moment to notice how screens dominate our daily lives. Whether it's the monitor in front of you, the smartphone by your side, or the TV in the living room, screens are omnipresent. We live in an era where rectangular boxes demand our attention almost every waking moment. However, this paradigm is beginning to shift. Technologies like Apple's Vision Pro headset and Meta's Quest are redefining how we interact with displays.The future points to a world where screens are no longer confined to rectangles. Imagine immersive, customizable interfaces that occupy your entire field of view, tailored to your preferences. This shift will redefine not only how we consume media but also how we perceive reality itself.Changing Operating Systems and InteractionsOur interaction with technology is evolving at a fundamental level. Traditional operating systems like Windows and Android are being outpaced by more intuitive platforms. For instance, Google's Fuchsia OS and the emerging AI-driven systems like Google Gemini aim to create seamless user experiences. These systems adapt to user habits and preferences, sometimes even anticipating needs before they arise.The idea of interacting with technology through neural inputs or simple spoken commands feels closer than ever. As computing systems become less visible and more integrated into our lives, the implications for content creation and consumption are profound.The Democratization of Content CreationMedia creation has moved from the hands of the few to the many. What began with blogs and independent websites has expanded into podcasts, YouTube channels, and TikTok accounts. Today, anyone with an internet connection can become a creator, sharing their voice with the world. Platforms like Nebula and Floatplane cater to niche audiences, providing creators with tools to monetize their work while maintaining creative control.This democratization isn't just about creators. Consumers now have unprecedented control over how they engage with media. Gone are the days of being beholden to TV schedules or radio time slots. Streaming services, on-demand podcasts, and personalized algorithms have given audiences the power to curate their own experiences.The Future of Content FormatsFrom radio to podcasts, we see a recurring pattern: old formats adapt or give way to new ones. Radio stations gave rise to Spotify playlists and podcasts, while traditional TV is being replaced by streaming services. Even within streaming, the model is evolving. As Netflix and other giants face challenges like rising costs and audience fatigue, we may see a return to smaller, creator-focused platforms.In the future, we might each have our own “Netflix”—personalized platforms tailored to our preferences. Alternatively, decentralized platforms like Odyssey could gain traction, offering creators a way to bypass corporate gatekeepers entirely.The Evolution of Social MediaSocial media has undergone its own dramatic shifts. Platforms like Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse redefined live audio interactions, while TikTok's short-form videos captured global attention. Meanwhile, live-streaming platforms like Twitch are losing ground to competitors, and even YouTube—once the undisputed king of video content—faces criticism for its increasingly cumbersome interface and policies.The decentralization of content might be the next big wave. As traditional platforms struggle to adapt, creators and audiences alike are exploring alternatives. This shift could pave the way for a more equitable media landscape where niche communities thrive.Everyone Becomes a CreatorPerhaps the most significant trend is the growing participation in content creation by everyday people. It's not just influencers and professionals anymore. Parents sharing recipes, hobbyists documenting their crafts, and individuals exploring personal interests are all part of this wave. Content creation is no longer confined to career paths; it's an extension of self-expression.As technology becomes more accessible and intuitive, we'll see even more people entering the fray. The line between creators and consumers will blur further, fostering a media ecosystem that is as diverse as it is dynamic.Final ThoughtsMedia's evolution reflects our own—our needs, aspirations, and the technologies we create to bridge the two. As screens dissolve into immersive interfaces, operating systems become nearly invisible, and content becomes ever more democratized, the future of media is a canvas for innovation.The question isn't just what media will look like in the future. It's how we—as creators, consumers, and participants—will shape that future. The possibilities are endless, and the journey is just beginning.

“We all know that when we write copy, we have to talk to the ideal person, but I find it's really easy to introduce bias and start talking about what you want or what you think they want and not what they actually want.” –Mimi ZhouAre you talking about the right things? Sometimes our copywriting misses the mark because we talk about what our potential clients or customers need … instead of what they actually want. I'm really excited to talk with conversion copywriter Mimi Zhou about how we really drive action with our writing.You can be really good at what you do without being really good at talking about it. It can be hard to get out of our own heads and what we know. We need to use the language our clients or customers use. How do we do that?We talk about: How to gather the data that drives the writingHow to get a better response on questions on social mediaThe kinds of numbers you need for the data to be relevantSelling one thingTrigger events in marketing Creating a timeline for that shows the before, the buy, and the steps in betweenABOUT MIMIAs a conversion copywriter, Dr. Mimi Zhou revels in customer research--because when you understand what your audience wants, you don't need to guess what they'll pay you for.Her copywriting projects are built on a thorough research foundation where she studies info your audience provides through reviews, surveys, interviews, and more. Her ability to parse data into numerical information and read between the lines to hear what customers say beneath the surface helps her understand what customers want even when they don't tell you directly.A fun fact about Mimi: Her path to becoming a professional researcher began at UC Berkeley and culminated in her PhD at New York University. Later, her belief that knowledge is power led her to seek copywriting training from the original conversion copywriter, Joanna Wiebe (founder, Copyhackers). So Mimi literally got a professional research degree and then studied copywriting with the original conversion copywriter herself!LINKShttps://mimizhou.com/https://www.instagram.com/mimithezhou/linkedin.com/in/mimizhou/Mimi is also one of the amazing teachers for Back to Business Week.

My client, Jaycee, was doing something truly amazing. She'd worked hard and put in extra hours to build a culture of teacher collaboration.As a result, there was unity within the staff, and children's learning and engagement soared.She was really pleased with the outcome.…But no one else seemed to notice.She brought the question to the Schools of Excellence community for owners and directors. She kept reassuring us, “I am happy! This is exactly what I wanted.” And then she'd add, “I just wish other people knew.”However, the experience of sharing her unseen efforts and the endurance it required to lead with impact (but without acknowledgment), was enough.She discovered she didn't need accolades from teachers or parents because she had a safe community and because the end result was intrinsically rewarding.I want to go deeper into the topic of winning in the dark—the phenomenon of discreetly or invisibly achieving success and overcoming challenges.This week, I'm unveiling the first episode of a three-part series on the Schools of Excellence Podcast about winning in the dark.In this week's podcast episode, I'm beginning the discussion with an exploration of the concepts of enoughness and worthiness.It's common to hinge your self-worth on what praise and acknowledgment you receive. If you achieve your goal, but no one notices, are you still satisfied? Do you try to fill the void by going on to the next project before you take a few weeks or months to appreciate what you've accomplished?If this sounds like you, you may have an opportunity to build up your sense of enoughness and worthiness.Join me in the podcast this week for a conversation about:How to discern whether you are struggling with enoughnessCommon external pressures that can impact how worthy you feelWhy winning in the dark is especially challenging in the age of social mediaThe gap between intellectually and emotionally knowing you're enoughStrategies for how to become unshakeable in your self-trustLearn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: https://schoolsofexcellence.com/membership/ Spoiler alert: One of the key strategies for building self-trust and worthiness is to join a supportive community. By sharing your wins with like-minded school leaders who truly get it, you'll find the quiet recognition you crave. I encourage you to apply for our Owner's HQ and Director's Inner Circle membership programs. As a member, you'll gain access to tools, resources, coaching, and community that will help you as you work toward building a school of excellence.Having an engaged and insightful mentor is a great way to guide you through the quiet obstacles that eventually lead to winning in the darkness.
