This week I sit down with Elijah Timmins-Scanlon, the Auckland model (signed to Red Eleven) who called out New Zealand streetwear brand Huffer of using AI to generate campaign images that looked suspiciously like him.

I unpack the 4 ways accounts are blowing up in 2026, and the common thread between my viral posts (that translates to reels, YAP videos and carousels).

In a move no one saw coming, Blake Lively has settled with Wayfarer Studios... and I am in mourning. That courtroom trial was the only way I was emotionally getting through May 2026.

Why did Matthew McConaughey turn down $14.5 million to say NO to a rom-com? And what does that decision teach us about boundaries, identity, and finally backing ourselves in business and life?
