Most businesses are busy. Very few are deliberately moving in the right direction.

In the first episode of 2026, we unpack what it actually means to plan with purpose. This isn't vague goal-setting or annual wish lists, but clear, commercially grounded planning that drives better decisions and supports sustainable growth.

We discuss why many business plans fail in practice, how you might spot bottlenecks and how purposeful planning helps founders focus on what's important, not just more activity.

That's not all, we have also created a free Business planning template you can use to help keep your goals defined as the year progresses.

As well as that, we have also made our own 'State of AI in 2026' report, designed to help you make informed decisions when deciding if a new software is worth the investment.
