Riding the Waves of Disruption: Trends to Watch in 2025

Business Lunch

Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! In this episode, hosts Roland and Ryan engage in a lively discussion about their predictions for the business landscape, technology trends, and marketing strategies for the year 2025. They cover a wide range of topics, from the expected surge in M&A activity to the rise of micro-influencers and the decline of traditional trade shows. The conversation provides valuable insights and a glimpse into the future, as the hosts share their perspectives on the winners and losers in the ever-evolving business world.

Highlights:

"I think that the people that don't automate will be big, big losers in the automation category."

"I think the winners are going to be the brands that are willing to do the untrackable, the people willing to do the quote, unquote unscalable."

"I think the people that don't keep up are going to have big challenges”

"I think the winners are going to be the owners of those businesses who sell at giant multiples to private equity firms that pay too much with other people's money, but then ultimately never have to really be accountable for that."
