March 2026 | Issue 15
March is where clarity becomes power. Not the kind of power built on noise or followers—but the kind earned through discipline, positioning, and the ability to execute when conditions change. 2026 is not waiting for anyone to catch up. It’s already rewarding those who understand where the world is going and are willing to lead from the front.
This month’s cover theme, The Power Class: Who’s Really Leading 2026, explores what it actually takes to win in the year ahead. Leadership now isn’t about titles—it’s about influence, adaptability, and the courage to make uncomfortable decisions before they become unavoidable. The people shaping the future aren’t reacting. They’re anticipating.
Our feature with Karlynn Only-Sydnor of KAOS Performance Fitness dives into what real performance looks like—mentally, physically, and strategically. In a culture obsessed with shortcuts, Karlynn represents something rare: structure, standards, and the long-game mindset required to build something that lasts.
We’re also proud to spotlight Garden Groove, Sacramento’s own Sublime tribute band, as our special music feature. Their story is about more than sound—it’s about consistency, chemistry, and honoring a legacy while still bringing your own identity to the stage. In every industry, from business to art, leadership is ultimately about how well you carry the torch forward.
As Impact & Influence Magazine continues to grow, our mission stays sharp: highlight the people who don’t just talk about success—but embody it. March is about stepping into your position with authority, precision, and purpose. The Power Class isn’t given. It’s earned.
