Dead Code & Dying Trends
AI will keep reshaping the world. Fads will come and go.
Trends look alive now, but they rot fast. That Instagram style or TikTok sound that feels fresh today can make your brand look outdated tomorrow. Don’t build your business on zombie aesthetics.
Mad Max Mindset
The real survivor is adaptability. In a wasteland, it’s not who has the fanciest tools — it’s who knows how to pivot, remix, and rebuild. Same goes for your business. Platforms change, algorithms vanish, but those who adapt always win.

The Bigger Goal
When the business apocalypse hits, it won't be the flashiest one's that survive. It'll be the one's with clarity, consistency and adaptability. Those are the one's that actually built something that people love.

Hacks From the Wasteland: Small Biz Tips & Tricks

Time Block Marketing – Set aside just 2–3 hours a week for marketing. Consistency beats bursts of random posting.
Content Recycling – One blog → 5 social posts → 1 email → 3 reels. Stretch content like rations in the wasteland.
