**You need a business card. Yes...in 2026.**

I know what you're thinking.

"Vince, nobody uses business cards anymore."

Wrong.

After more than four decades in business, I've learned that people don't remember everyone they meet.

They remember the people who make it easy to remember them.

A business card isn't just contact information.

It's a **desktop billboard for Brand U.**

An email disappears.

A text gets buried.

A LinkedIn connection becomes one of hundreds.

But that card can sit on someone's desk until the day an opportunity comes along and suddenly...

There you are.

We're living in an AI economy where almost everything can be created, automated, and delivered in seconds.

But AI can't walk across a room.

It can't shake someone's hand.

It can't look someone in the eye.

And it can't build a genuine relationship for you.

That's one of the lessons behind *Build Brand U, Too*.

Your personal brand isn't just what people see online.

It's what they remember about you after you've left the room.

**This week's Brand U challenge:**

Get some business cards.

Carry them.

Use them.

And make yourself memorable.

Sometimes the most powerful networking tool in an AI economy costs about 20 cents.

📘 *Build Brand U, Too* is available now.
