While investigators emphasized that the pair took extensive safety precautions, their deaths come amid a string of recent high-profile outdoor accidents involving college students.

A 19-year-old wrestler at a California community college…

Published November 5, 2026 03:00AMThere’s something so invigorating about unwinding in a hot, dry sauna, then plunging into an ice-cold tub or pool. While such contrast therapy is offered at high-end spas and popular among wellness and outdoor enthusiasts, the practice has long been a staple of Nordic living and recovery. To save you the search for the ultimate Nordic cycle retreat, I researched the most beautiful cabins in nature, decked out with saunas and cold plunges. Before sharing them with you, though, let’s take a beat to understand the scientific allure of contrast therapy—the risks associated with it. Why…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways In-house delivery isn’t automatically cheaper. Compare the fully loaded cost per delivery — including maintenance, insurance, depreciation, downtime and management time — against outsourced pricing. As delivery operations grow, success depends on clear roles, performance metrics, preventative maintenance and documented processes rather than informal management. Realistic scheduling, thorough driver training, regular vehicle inspections and a clear accident response plan reduce risks that can quickly become costly. The invoices from the regional carrier keep getting bigger. For the owner of a growing home furnishings retailer, delivery has become one of the…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Your first instinct is adrenaline wearing the costume of clarity. Ninety seconds of asking what you actually know beats a week of cleaning up what you assumed. People won’t remember what you said, only whether your response felt proportionate and held up.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003e You probably believe you will be the calm one when something goes wrong.

Key Takeaways Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said he was naturally a great founder but a “terrible CEO.” He said the CEO role was counterintuitive and required skills different from those used to start a company. He advised young companies to hire smart, hungry workers and guide them closely. Brian Chesky has been the CEO of Airbnb since the company’s inception in 2007. For nearly 20 years, he has stuck with the top job and overseen Airbnb’s incredible growth to become a company with over 5.5 million hosts and $12.24 billion in annual revenue in 2025.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI deployment is becoming more important than model development. Top AI companies are investing in forward-deployed engineers who work directly with businesses to integrate AI into real-world operations. The biggest barrier to AI adoption is business readiness. That means clean data, clear examples of what a good result looks like and clear rules for what AI may do alone and what a person must approve. The old race rewarded whoever could spend the most on technology. The new one rewards whoever understands a customer’s real work the deepest. For the…

Key Takeaways Replace happy hour with “well-being hour.” Instead of going to a bar, take the team on a walk, go to a yoga class or do a spin class together. Start a book club. Book clubs can help teach us new skills and also transform our connections at work. Volunteer together. You can research and contact a local food pantry, community garden or an animal shelter to build deeper connections locally. “Shots, shots, shots! Come on, you can do a shot,” my former boss said, shouting at me at the makeshift…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Open-minded people don’t assume their default way of thinking is automatically the right one. When something collides with their perspective, they don’t dismiss it — they want to know more.  Making time for in-person team building is an expense, to be sure. But having your employees feel genuinely connected, even across oceans? That’s priceless.  Don’t leave room for misinterpretation. Write down what your company stands for, and make sure everyone sees it. “I don’t like him. He’s rude.” That was the chatter I was hearing about our newest hire, an…
