Most leaders approach layoffs as a messaging problem. What do we say? How do we say it? How do we avoid panic, legal risk, or reputational damage? But that framing misses what’s actually at stake. Layoffs are moments when employees decide whether leadership can still be trusted. And in 2026, that evaluation is nearly immediate. There’s no version of layoffs that feels good. But there’s a meaningful difference between a necessary business decision handled with clarity and care and an avoidable breach of trust created by how it’s done. The better question isn’t whether there’s a “right” way to lay…

Every June, the school year ends, and the framework that kept us afloat all year vanishes. If you’re lucky, your child is in camp. If you’re very lucky, camp goes past 3 p.m. And if you’re really lucky, it doesn’t cost as much as a mortgage payment. A time that signifies fun and freedom for our kids is a three-month scheduling nightmare for adults. And the strange part is everyone knows it’s coming, yet many workplaces expect parents to function as though nothing in their daily life has changed. After talking to dozens of parents about this, coupled with my…

As a freelance writer, I have it easy. When someone asks for samples of my work, I can send them a link. My skills are right there on the page, with my name on it. But a lot of the solopreneurs in my network don’t have the same experience. Take a marketing strategist, for example. They put a lot of thought into a detailed quarterly plan for an existing client, but there’s no way to share that work with a prospective client. The challenge for consultants, strategists, coaches, and other service providers is that the work sits inside someone else’s…

Enterprise AI today feels strangely familiar: The infrastructure is powerful. The capabilities are real. The demonstrations are impressive. Models can write, summarize, reason, code, search, retrieve, translate, classify, plan, and increasingly act. The raw machinery is there. And yet, inside companies, the same pattern keeps repeating: pilots everywhere, transformation nowhere near the promise. The first article in this series argued that large language models were never built to run a company because companies operate through memory, context, feedback, constraints, state, incentives, and dependencies — not through isolated sequences of text. The second argued that enterprise AI must move from answers to outcomes,…

Ring cameras in your neighborhood might be invading your privacy every time you take the dog out for a walk.

The lawsuit specifically concerns a new feature for Ring devices, introduced in December, known as Familiar Faces. That…
