A hiker slid hundreds of feet down Utah’s Mount Timpanogos while hiking in late October (Photo: UCSO)Published November 4, 2026 11:03AMNewly released helicopter footage shows the dramatic moment rescuers saved a hiker who fell from the summit of Mount Timpanogos, a 11,700-foot peak in Utah’s Wasatch Range. On October 26, a female hiker fell off the trail and slid several hundred feet from the peak. She landed on a small ledge on a cliff, according…

It doesn’t matter how waterproof your shell is if you sweat it out from the inside. These five models use pit zips, breathable fabrics, and smart design choices to efficiently bleed off heat. (Photo: Anastasia Allison)Published November 4, 2026 05:05AMPicture this: You’re halfway through a 20-mile day when the sky opens up, dumping sheets of rain on you and your hiking partners. You pull out your shell, zip it up, and keep crushing. An hour later, you notice you’re starting to feel awfully damp. Your shell isn’t leaking, but it might as well be: Your exertion has turned it into…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Measure outcomes per activity, not total activity, because three meetings from 40 calls beats three meetings from 400 dials. Clean and verify contact data before scaling outreach, since wrong numbers waste dials and get your lines flagged. Back in the mid-2010s, I was one of those sales reps with a pretty bullish mentality towards outbound email outreach. Unfortunately, the tables turned, and my response rates to cold email outreach plummeted 90%. Over the last decade, the same amount of outreach has begun producing just a tenth of the results; not…

Published November 4, 2026 03:05AMWhen I was a child, visits with my Korean grandmother always began with the same ritual. She would place my left hand on her lap and trace the lines in my palm with her index finger, before delivering a prophetic verdict about my future. She’d tell me that when I became an adult, I would be a cheapskate. Apparently, the so-called “money lines” on my left palm were unbroken. “Your pockets won’t spill money, unlike your grandfather,” she would say. After reading my palm, my grandmother would turn her attention to my shirt. Starting with the…

Published November 4, 2026 03:16AMCalin Van Paris has been writing about wellness for more than a decade. Here, she breaks down a handful of wellness hacks and trends that, though beneficial for some, many of us could do without. Let’s talk about wellness trends. More specifically, let’s talk about our collective penchant for “optimizing” the human experience. Being a person is not always easy. We’re all in bodies that are designed to decay, with minds that tend to run amok and emotions that can seem like they have brains of their own. It’s only natural to try to control what…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Building internally makes sense when a capability is sufficiently important to competitive differentiation and management wants to control how it evolves. Buy when time or existing capability matters more than invention. Determine what advantage buying produces and how quickly it can be absorbed and transitioned into an operating advantage. Partner when access matters more than ownership. This can be particularly useful when the capability matters to the customer proposition but doesn’t need to become a core institutional competency. The challenge of when a company needs to develop a capability it…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The deduction amount depends on how much of the vehicle was used for business purposes. Personal use and commuting are not deductible, regardless of who owns the vehicle. Understand that your year-one deduction decision might be permanent, passenger car depreciation caps affect the math and the vehicle’s weight creates more deduction possibilities. Verify the weight classification of the vehicle before you buy it, choose the method of deduction in year one, keep business use above 50% if you need to deduct with acceleration, document business miles immediately, and take the…

Key Takeaways At age 24, Mark Cuban shared a three-bedroom apartment in Dallas with five roommates. The billionaire entrepreneur, who is now 68, slept on the bedroom floor for two years and kept his belongings in a corner. Split six ways, the apartment’s rent amounted to about $400 per person. Before earning billions, Mark Cuban lived with five roommates and had no bed of his own in a cramped three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in Dallas, Texas. Cuban disclosed in an X post earlier this week that he lived in a 1,352-square-foot apartment for two years. He was “the last one in”…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways You don’t have to answer every question, but you do need to know your expertise and communicate it clearly. Prepare three key messages, lead with your main point, and avoid unnecessary jargon. Journalists want useful insights, not sales pitches. Credibility and preparation are essential. Being a successful CEO doesn’t automatically make you a great media spokesperson. I’ve coached executives across financial services and other professional industries who can lead organizations, navigate complex challenges and command a boardroom, yet struggle to communicate effectively with journalists. Even the most accomplished executives can…

There are some founders who think that only good ideas can come from them. Haniff Brown is not one of those founders. In 2024, the Williams College math major and former private equity investor was promoting his company Fit:match’s AI body-scanning technology as a way to help shoppers find clothes that fit. Then a major English soccer team asked if he’d bring the tech to their youth academy for an entirely different use. He almost said no, but went anyway, and after listening to the coaches, he found an entirely different use for the tech — and much bigger business…
