In 2026, the most underrated creative power won’t be trends, speed, or algorithms... it will be slow, intentional content.

In this episode of Make Your Break, Jai Long takes you behind the scenes of two decades of creating content, from MySpace days and newspaper publicity stunts to becoming one of Instagram’s earliest top creators long before Reels existed.

Jai reflects on the rise and fall of platforms… the pressure to keep up… and the heartbreaking moment in 2012–2013 when so many talented creatives quit because they felt overwhelmed, unseen, or simply burned out.

Now, moving into 2026, Jai shares why the pendulum is swinging.
Why depth is beating speed.
Why intentional storytelling is outperforming random virality.
And why creators who slow down will actually stand out more than ever in a saturated, noisy world.

Inside this episode you'll learn:

  • Why thoughtful content will outperform high volume in 2026

  • The creative cycles Jai has watched evolve since the early 2000s

  • Behind-the-scenes stories from the early Instagram era

  • Why Reels didn’t start as Reels, and what that means for the next shift

  • How consumers are changing the game (again)

  • What photographers and creatives should prioritise right now

If you’re tired of chasing the algorithm… if you feel like content is getting faster and heavier… if you want to make 2026 the year you create with intention, clarity, and purpose, this one is for you.
