This is awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing the growth in brand opportunities around the silver economy and the return of tastemakers. I think we need some form of gatekeepers back, expertise has fallen by the wayside due to the rise of influencers who peddle anything they’re paid for. We need real hands on product expertise back.

Loved this so much- especially THE ANALOG EXPERIENCE. I plan travel and people want to invest in memories and experiences in far-flung destinations over a new car.

Great read! Building community is so key and I think brands could even look to Reddit for this.

Loved every bit of this. In the fashion space specifically, we are seeing a shift to maximalism and references to the 70's. It's interesting to see things shift so dramatically after having a long run with 'quiet luxury'.
