Hey friend,

​

Much of the country is getting hit with an Arctic blast this weekend.

​

That usually means staying put, staying warm, and having a little extra quiet time to think.

​

I just published a new article on Small Business Predictions for 2026, and this weekend feels like a pretty good moment to read it.

​

Not because it’s doom-and-gloom (it’s not), but because change is speeding up—and small business owners deserve a clearer, calmer way to think about what’s coming.

​

The short version:

• AI is moving faster than most headlines admit
• Some familiar business models are breaking
• Automation is becoming a real advantage
• Community and adaptability matter more than ever

​

And despite all of that—I’m optimistic.

​

History shows us that every major technological shift feels scary in the moment… and full of opportunity in hindsight.

​

If you’re hunkered down anyway, this is a good time to read, reflect, and start thinking about how AI might actually help your business, not replace it.

Stay warm. Stay curious.

And if you’re thinking about how to use this moment to build something better, you’re not alone. In the article, I tell you what I'm building and what tool I'm using. If you want to hear more about that, hit Reply and let me know.
