In his second appearance on The Great Indoors, Marcus Collins, cultural strategist and best-selling author, returns to pick up where we left off in Season Nine. Over the past twelve months, culture, technology, and commerce have moved fast, but not always forward.&nbsp; This conversation revisits the ideas that defined our last discussion and stress tests them against a year marked by generative AI acceleration, shifting cultural power, brand anxiety, and renewed questions around meaning, identity, and trust. Together, we explore what these developments mean for Marcus’s work today,&nbsp; and for anyone tasked with building relevance, resonance, and responsibility in an increasingly automated world.&nbsp; A grounded, incisive dialogue on culture not as a trend to chase, but as a force to understand, especially when the ground keeps moving.

Twelve Months On: Marcus Collins and the Reality Check for Culture

2025 was supposed to be a year of stability for telecom. Instead, it exposed where the industry’s assumptions no longer held. In this opening episode of The Great Indoors, now in its 11th season, Matthew Roberts is joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-moffett-572537/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Craig Moffett</a> who is a co-founder and senior analyst at MoffettNathanson.&nbsp; Craig brings decades of experience tracking broadband, cable, and satellite and has a reputation for clear-eyed analysis that cuts through consensus thinking.&nbsp; They discussed what last year revealed, and what 2026 will demand. Together, they explore why cable may be far better positioned than market sentiment suggests, how competitive pressure continues to weigh on traditional wireless players, and why pricing power proved harder to sustain than many expected.&nbsp; The conversation spans the year’s biggest surprises, from EchoStar’s spectrum-driven turnaround to the growing, but still limited, role of satellite connectivity. If 2025 tested the narrative, 2026 will test execution.
