Preston was one of my very first Etsy students back in 2021—and has since grown his laser engraving shop enough to replace the income from FOUR jobs! This spring, he and his wife challenged themselves to add 1,000 digital laser files to their already successful handmade shop, and the result was an additional $2K/month in passive income. Tune in to hear how they did it and why adding a digital component to your existing Etsy business could be an incredible way to scale without creating more physical work. **"How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy" is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com STUFF I MENTIONED: Join us in Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society Use code 50SCALE to get your first month for $97.

Get in touch at matt@mattswain.com or book directly at https://www.triangle-branding.com/book-a-call What if the future of business isn't about spotting trends, but understanding the deep cultural currents shaping them? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague is joined by Grant McCracken, Cultural Anthropologist, author, and Founder and CEO of Tailwind Radar, to explore the cultural forces shaping the future of business. Drawing on decades of work in anthropology and consumer culture, Grant explains why cultural intelligence is a more powerful predictor of success than traditional trend analysis. He unpacks the return of the artisan, the rise of the craft economy, and the importance of authentic branding in an era of increasing skepticism. The conversation also examines the micropolitan movement, AI-driven disruption, and how businesses can identify emerging cultural trends before competitors. From Alice Waters' influence on foodie culture to the dangers of craft washing and the growing desire for community-driven business, Grant explains how leaders can turn anthropology into a competitive advantage. What You Will Learn: How to read culture as a leading indicator of market opportunity Why "Tailwind Radar" beats traditional trend spotting for navigating chaos The critical difference between authentic artisanal engagement and "craftwashing" How the "micropolitan movement" will reshape where opportunity concentrates Why code-switching masculinity resolves the "failure to launch" crisis How to spot emerging cultural bubbles before they reach mainstream awareness If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. About the Guest: Grant McCracken is the Founder and CEO of Tailwind Radar and a renowned cultural anthropologist, author, and thought leader specializing in cultural trends and consumer behavior. With a PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago, he has advised organizations including Google, Netflix, Nike, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and the Obama White House. Grant is the author of fourteen books, including Chief Culture Officer and The Return of the Artisan, which explores the shift toward a more artisanal and community-driven economy. A former affiliate of Harvard Business School and MIT, he helps businesses uncover emerging cultural signals and turn them into strategic opportunities through his seminars, Culture Camp and Ethno Camp. Quotes: "I got my PhD at a time that anthropology was contemplating the possibility of studying its contemporary culture. American culture has changed so often, and so violently in the years I've been watching it that it has been a challenge. Everything's a motion picture, and unless you're using theory capable of capturing motion pictures, you're in real trouble." "Everything that was so successfully anonymous about capitalism was being taken down and replaced by small batches and personal connections. As we climb Maslow's hierarchy, we begin to say, wait, something is missing from the capitalist proposition. Those things are a very personal and intimate connection to our communities and to our commerce, which are accomplished more surely by the artisanal than by conventional markets." "There's a special place in hell marked for people who engage in craft washing. Taking a notion as powerfully transformative as this one and using it for very commercial purposes is especially cynical. Authenticity is too often something that acts like a confinement, which says there's only one way to be artisanal." "For the first time, I heard someone talk about the home and the importance of fortification. People are capturing rainwater, building victory gardens, allowing themselves to feel freestanding. When Ford came out with an armored car selling as a domestic SUV, you could tell they were speaking to people who thought, what if, what if, what if."

This week it's just the two of us - no guests, no agenda, just a good old buyers' debrief. A few weeks ago we headed to Manchester for the Buying and Beyond meetup, and naturally that meant hitting the shops. What followed was a wide-ranging conversation about what we saw on the floor, where smart buyers are finding inspiration right now, and how the digital landscape is changing the way we read trends. If you've ever wanted to know where to go, what to look for, and how to cut through the noise - this one's for you.Key TakeawaysKnow your customer and stay true to your brand identity.Manchester's retail scene was a masterclass in brand clarity. River Island's revival showed what happens when a brand stops chasing competitors and leans back into its core aesthetic. Meanwhile, M&S continues to prove that great product + smart outfit-building styling = appeal across generations. The lesson: customers are increasingly shopping by lifestyle and interests, not age.You don't need a big travel budget to find inspiration.Japan may be the gold standard for retail theater, but Europe is packed with accessible alternatives - Paris neighborhoods, Amsterdam's sustainable design scene, Bratislava's independent makers, and emerging destinations like Slovenia. Closer to home, a visit to a completely different city (hello, Manchester) can shift your perspective in ways a quick local shop sprint never will.Vinted and TikTok Shop are trend thermometers - use them.TikTok Shop transaction volume rose 80% year-on-year in 2025, and resale/sustainable product lines are forecast to account for 20% of apparel sales by 2028. Scrolling Vinted's most-liked items gives buyers a real-time, customer-facing read on what people actually want — a live data feed that's worth adding to your regular comp-shopping toolkit.Want to go deeper on trend spotting and retail inspiration?

In #coachbetter episode Kim and Diana talk about ways that you can spot patterns and trends in your coaching data for the year. Kim was recently talking to our current members of the Coach and we talked about how important it is to just start collecting data and building in a practice of reflection - even if you are worried that you won't have "enough" data. The data you collect right now can become your baseline data to refer back to in future years. Even if you're not sure what data to collect, or what to do with the results, waiting until you feel ready just delays your progress. When you start now, you get the opportunity to: collect that baseline data, learn what kinds of questions you want to ask, and better understand how to analyze and unpack the data you find Find the show notes for this episode here.

Sie waren auf der Suche nach einer Lernplattform, die es so nocht nicht gab. Also haben sie sie selbst aufgebaut: Jana Gierse und Katharina Ackermann gründeten Trend Z mitten in der Corona-Zeit, frisch aus dem Studium heraus, mit einer klaren Mission: Weiterbildung für Kommunikatorinnen und Kommunikatoren neu denken.Im news aktuell Podcast sprechen wir mit den beiden Gründerinnen darüber, was sie mit ihrer Wissensplattform und Community bewirken wollen und warum die PR in einer Identitätskrise steckt. Es geht um die Kluft zwischen strategischem Anspruch und operativem Alltag, um Trendspotting als konkretes Werkzeug für die Praxis und um eine Lernkultur, die Spaß macht statt einschläfert. Kurz: Lernen im Gen-Z-Style, mit fundierter wissenschaftlicher Basis und ohne Social-Media-Guru-Floskeln.
