 EPISODE 125: Should You Speak Out? How Current Events Impact Your Brand & Business in 2026 | Mixed Media Series Should business owners speak out on politics? Should influencers address current events? Or is silence sometimes the strongest brand move? In this powerful Mixed Media Series episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, Jeremy and Nell tackle one of the most uncomfortable, and urgent, conversations facing entrepreneurs in 2026: How do external events, politics, and cultural tension impact your brand…and what should you do about it? From platform pressure and public expectations to authenticity, mission alignment, and protecting your audience's trust, this episode goes into how leaders can think clearly when emotions are high. If you've ever felt pressured to "say something" or questioned whether speaking up helps or hurts your business, this conversation will sharpen your perspective. What you'll learn: - How current political and cultural events impact personal brands and businesses - The danger of reacting without mission alignment - How to filter outside noise without losing authenticity - The real reason comment sections don't change minds - Why "If it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no" applies to business decisions Key Moments 00:00 Welcome to the Mixed Media Series 01:14 External Impacts on Business 03:28 Regions and Perspectives 06:01 Social Media Boundaries 08:48 Assumptions and Politicization 12:12 When Brands Speak Up 16:56 Media Perception and Reality 20:26 Pressure to Use Platforms 21:30 Life Is Short: Find Joy 31:27 Intent Versus Impact 34:18 Wrap Up Favorite Quote "Your intent might be one thing, but your impact could be another — and you need to be prepared to manage that impact." - Jeremy CONNECT WITH BOX 7 MEDIA: Interested in sharing YOUR voice with the world?
