Pacsun Youth Report 2026

Second annual survey of 6,126 people aged 11-24 in the US, run with GlobalData in June 2026, on trust, money, social media and AI. 85% used AI in the past year and 74% were open to shopping through it, but only 2% trusted it for fashion advice; influencers never exceeded 11% of trust in any category. Self-described financial independence fell to 34.9% from 41.3% in 2025, and 29% say they are "definitely addicted" to social media, up from 18.8%.

Why I recommend it: Handy for anyone marketing to or coaching young people: it says plainly that family and friends outrank influencers and AI on trust. Remember who paid for it — a clothing retailer selling to this exact age group — so treat it as a well-run retailer survey of stated attitudes, not proof of what people actually bought.

How to Assess the Potential of Your Business Idea

Entrepreneur's framework for pressure-testing a business idea before you spend money on it: demand, differentiation, cost, and timing.

From the site: Ask yourself these questions before you start fundraising.

Why I recommend it: Start here before anything else. If the idea cannot survive these questions on paper, it will not survive your savings.
