Show Notes
The online business landscape is shifting, and fast. What worked even three years ago is now dangerously outdated, and most entrepreneurs haven’t caught up. In this episode, Natalie unpacks five non-obvious shifts that founders must make to survive (and thrive) in a rapidly evolving market.
You’ll learn why visibility and volume are no longer enough, how AI is commoditizing surface-level content, and what it really takes to build a business that lasts through 2030and beyond.
This episode is your roadmap to the next era of online business: one built on infrastructure, IP, thought leadership, and CEO-level clarity. If you want to stop surviving and start architecting a business designed for longevity, this is a must-listen.
