While the initial episode or two of Euphoria season 3 were such a jarring shift in tone from the original, it seemed like nothing could be salvaged here, now, by episode 5, it’s easier to get used to the show this has turned into. It is not Euphoria seasons 1 and 2, despite sharing actors. Half these characters have undergone personality transplants, and the entire genre has flipped. But the new, not-Euphoria show that’s arrived is innately entertaining and watchable. At least hate-watchable. And people are still watching.HBO’s viewership for season 3 of Euphoria spiked dramatically for its premiere, a…

Allison Ellsworth doesn’t believe in work-life balance—and she has $100 million reasons why. The Poppi co-founder and her husband sold their soda company to PepsiCo for $1.95 billion last year, making them centimillionaires. But getting there meant taking business calls from the hospital bed after giving birth and breastfeeding on Zoom meetings. “I think it’s OK to live in chaos,” Ellsworth told The Wall Street Journal in a candid interview. “A lot of people talk about work-life balance. I think if you want to be successful, you kind of have to sacrifice that.” The 39-year-old Austin entrepreneur landed her big…

In our 2026 Performance Marketing survey with Harris Poll, we asked more than 300 marketing decision-makers about the trends and investments they predicted for 2026. The biggest takeaway—75% report increased expectations for accountability. And nearly two-thirds say leaders now evaluate them based on pipeline contribution rather than traditional top-of-funnel metrics like lead volume. For years, marketers have argued for a more meaningful seat at the revenue table, one that is measured on business outcomes instead of activity. That shift is happening. Leaders are asking marketing teams to deliver revenue outcomes without giving them the visibility to understand, prove, or optimize…

401(k) match or AI? That is the question facing many companies — and many are now choosing AI. Customer experience tech company TTEC suspended its 401(k) employer match for approximately 16,000 U.S. employees through the end of 2026, saying it needs to redirect those resources toward AI investments. For a worker earning $60,000 who was contributing 6 percent of their salary, that’s $1,800 a year in employer contributions. Most companies cutting retirement benefits blame “cost pressures” or “macroeconomic conditions,” but TTEC said the quiet part out loud, telling Business Insider it’s investing in AI certifications, AI-enabled tools, training and automation.…
