👇 TL;DR: This Week in The Digital CEO Weekly
✅ Exciting updates from December and January... plus what's to come with this newsletter.
✅ My book-of-the-month pick for those ready to think differently about money and start building real, lasting wealth.
From the Desk of James Wedmore:
WHOA! Check this out!
In December we hosted our LARGEST in-person event, BBD LIVE, with 999 registered from all over the World!
THEN... just a few weeks later, Jenni and I got MARRIED!
We rang in the New Year with our NYE Wedding Celebration that we'll remember for the rest of our lives!
(Note: if you wanna see allll the pics, Jenni is posting them on her IG here).
The next day we got a chance to relax, so we rented out a movie theater, invited 50 of our friends to watch Jen's favorite movie, Sabrina, before we jetsetted off to Paris, London and Madeira, Portugal for our Honeymoon.
And now... we're back!
And so is this newsletter! As you can imagine, I had a pretty good "excuse" to take a few weeks off from writing and recording the podcast.
But yes! The podcast and newsletter are back!
Every week I'll spend time here sharing what's on my mind, what's working now, and what you should do to grow your business in 2026!
Look! A lot is happening, a lot is changing, and I'm just really lucky to be connected to THOUSANDS of clients and peers in every niche at every level with every business model... combine that with 20 years of business experience, and well... I get to see the trends FAST.
Opening up this newsletter gets you ACCESS to those trends FAST. So expect more WISDOM, UPDATES and ACTION ITEMS every single week when you take just a few minutes to read this newsletter!
Pay Attention to the Times...
Last year was the year of the Snake. 2025 was a NINE year. Snakes shed and 9s complete.
Does it now make sense why last year was so tough for you?
EVERYONE went through something! So... LOOK at that. That was for a reason. Painful? YES! A blessing? I say YES.
Last year prepared you to learn FASTER what is no longer serving you for where you want to go. To let go and make space.
This year, be ready for paradigm shifting changes allowing you to LEAP into action!
...because that's what the HORSE brings with this ONE year. New beginnings and new opportunities you can leap into action with!
So TLDR: learn the lessons of your experiences in 2025 and DO NOT bring any of that old energy into 2026!
PODCAST: 2026 Predictions and Kicking This Year's Butt!
If you haven't yet listened to my episode on how this topic of 2025 contrasted with 2026... combined with my BIGGEST PREDICTIONS for Online Business over the next 12-24 months... don't walk, RUN to that episode right now!

James' Book of the Month Club
I'm always reading, listening, learning. ALWAYS. You should as well.
And most of what I'm learning comes from unlikely of places. This week I would like to recommend a book that falls into this category of "unlikely":
The Big Print by Lawrence Lepard
Not everyone is ready for a book like this. It is a jarring eye-opening exposé on the problems with our Financial and Monetary System... problems that go back 100 years.
For some, this will spur an awakening to more of the lies, corruption and greed that exist right in front of our eyes, even when everyone tells you "it's for your best interest."
Today I believe if you're gonna be in business, you need to understand how our economy works, how money works, and how "they" created the game. People who DON'T will just continue to blame others, complain and slowly fall into a perpetual state of learned helplessness.
But mark my words. Someone reading this right now will hear what I say and take action on this: those that pay attention to what is going on fiancially right now, and go all in on their business to increase cashflow and then make the right plays WITH that cashflow, will have the chance to see unprecendented wealth over the next few years.
But most will miss it... and go back to "life and business as usual." Never changing... and then wondering why nothing has changed... or... wonder why things got worse.
So... pls pay attention (grab your copy here).
Ok, have a great week! I'll see ya next Monday!
