The online business landscape is shifting—and fast. In this first part of a two-part “State of the Union,” Ruth breaks down what’s really changing behind the scenes: from devalued content to trust erosion, AI’s impact, and the new “currencies” that will define which businesses thrive. If your launches feel inconsistent, your content isn’t converting the way it used to, or you’re wondering what the next era looks like—this episode gives you the lens to see it clearly.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why 2020–2021 were anomalies, not the new normal
• What the Trust Recession is and how it’s reshaping online business
• The Content Devaluation Crisis — why content alone no longer holds the same currency
• The Five New Currencies you need to be building now:
  1. Thought Leadership
  2. Genuine Connection
  3. Community Building
  4. Personalized Attention
  5. Speed & Efficiency
• How to begin shifting your mindset to align with this new era
