We’ve all read endless lists of predictions—what’s trending, what’s coming next, and what to watch out for. But what good are these predictions if they don't provide a roadmap for success?
In this episode, Sharran breaks down his viral post on predictions for 2026 and gives you the tools to turn those ideas into actionable strategies. You don’t need to agree with every prediction, but Sharran’s goal is simple: To give you an unfair advantage.
Whether you’re building your personal brand, making smarter investments, or positioning your business for growth, this episode will help you think ahead, just like Wayne Gretzky skating to where the puck is going.
If you want to stay ahead of the curve, the key question isn’t, “What’s next?”—it’s, “What will you do if this is true?”
“Predictions are predictions. They're not about certainty; they're not a law. They're not truth. Thereby just saying, hey, if this were to be true, how would I position myself right now?”
