january 2026: don't quit!

insider info & trends

Dear friend of theONswitch:

New year. New content.

Shorter, spicier, AI-powered...but always with human intelligence and soul.

The second Friday of January is called Quitter's Day because most people abandon resolutions by then. Not us! Let me keep you energized and focused!

what's hot in 2026?

2026 is characterized by a "great exhaustion," leading to a search for digital sobriety, a stabilization in population growth, and a shift toward agentic AI in the workplace.

I rewatched Mad Men

Premiering in 2007, this award-winning series gave us a glimpse into advertising life on Madison Avenue. Sexism, racism, political unrest, relationships, sex, tech, and the power of persuasion were all part of the story. We're different now, but (sadly) similar in many ways.

If you only have time for one episode, check out Season 7, Episode 4, "The Monolith," in which the creative team fears being replaced by a computer in 1969. Sound familiar?
