Key Takeaways

1

Identify 'counter-culture' behavioral shifts, such as the pendulum swinging from high-career 'girl boss' culture to domestic-focused 'trad wife' interests, to find gaps in retail and media.

2

Build high-ticket 'concierge' businesses for complex, high-stakes life events like adoption or visa applications where the target demographic is price-insensitive and currently underserved.

3

Use a content-to-commerce flywheel by building an audience around a specific niche to gain trust, source cheaper acquisition deals, and create an internal marketing channel for those businesses.
