Of all the 2025 wrap-ups I received this year Riverside wins the prize

No one ever says 'I fired them too soon.' Hard decisions don't get easier with time. They get heavier. In 2026, speed of decision is the differentiator. You probably already know what needs to happen next. I know I do.

Letting Meta write your ads is like letting your dog pick your stocks. Platforms are quietly pushing AI-generated ad content into live campaigns. The result? Slop that eats your budget. The problem isn't automation—it's abdication. Put humans back in charge.

AI won't save your bad creative. It'll just make it faster. Most brands don't need more AI. They need more taste. Scale garbage without thinking? You're just a hoarder with a laptop.

Carl at Bureauverse Southwest: easy mode is over. The shops that win won't have the slickest decks. They'll make clients smarter. Judgment. Truth-telling. Perspective. The stuff AI can't fake. We don't build that alone. Community isn't a soft skill anymore. It's a moat.

AI is solving problems faster than ever. Too bad it's still solving the wrong ones. 30 years working with clients taught me: the best solution isn't the best solution unless it works for everyone. That's still a human call.

Three days with agency owners in Costa Rica. The takeaway: the ones winning right now are moving fast, positioning tight, and being honest about how hard it is. The playbook is changing fast but the people in that room are changing faster.

Played darts with friends at a trade show this week. No business talk. No AI talk. Just fun. That matters more than we give it credit for. We're human beings, not human doings.

Stop turning in AI homework and calling it strategy. A client's CRO agency sent us a 20 page brief that should've been 2. No research. No thinking. Just slop. AI should help you do more better work. Not more sloppy work.

“We need a quick video.” Cool. But who’s it for? If it doesn’t serve your audience or fit a bigger story, it’s just noise. Make content that connects, not just sells. Start with what they care about. Then earn the right to talk about you.

Where does this stop? Billions in subsidies, projects collapsing, and families hit with power bills as high as $784 a month. I’m calling for transparency and accountability — regional Australians shouldn’t be left paying the price.

Today, #Ukraine commemorates the #Chornobyl catastrophe. In April 1986, any mention of the disaster was quickly suppressed by Moscow. People paid with their lives for the delayed response. In february 2025, a russian drone struck the anti-radiation shield over the reactor unit 4. 📹
