SPI 914: Why Online Business Is So Different Now

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Everything has changed. Everything has changed. That is my answer to how is the world of online business today versus how it was when you got started? Well, that was 2008, and definitely things have changed. But I could say the same answer.

Everything has changed if I were to compare today, 2026. to 2016, 10 years ago. I could have the same answer for that same question comparing this year to last year. Things are changing very fast. There are concerns and a lot of discussions happening around AI, of course, and where that is headed.

And I'm not going to spend a lot of time today talking about that and my thoughts on that. I have pros and cons and there's of course pluses and minuses and things to weigh against each other when it comes to AI. I've always said that nothing will compete with the human stuff that we need more than ever, which is community, connection, we need relatability, we need proximity.
