For many years, women have been told that they needed to “step-up” to lead. You know the narrative—speak more assertively, be less emotional, less sensitive and toughen up. In essence, to “fit the mold.”The trouble is, that mold was never created with them in mind. It was built in an era where leadership equalled hierarchy, control, dominance, and outdated power dynamics. This has fueled countless burnout cases, while women have mastered leading within these “rules.” Now though, there’s a shift. That shift is birthing the realization that the old rulebook no longer applies.The old leadership model is expensive and commercially outdated.…

Not long ago, fractional executives were an edge case—temporary operators invited to fill a short-term gap at the leadership table. But what started as a cost-savvy strategy for cash-conscious startups is now a mainstream, strategic move for companies and executives alike.Fractional leaders are self-employed individuals who are focused on solving specific challenges. They offer domain expertise and the ability to move quickly inside of shorter decision-making cycles. They’re perfect for businesses that need senior-level strategic thinking—but not necessarily for forty-plus hours a week. (It’s also worth distinguishing between interim and fractional leadership.

Anker happens to make a lot of that type of stuff.If you’ve bought an aftermarket charger or power bank in the last decade, you’ve probably seen the name. I’ve found their gear to be equal parts reliable and budget-friendly in…

AI is moving fast. But are we really keeping humans at the center? AI scientist, founder of Affectiva, investor at Blue Tulip, and host of Pioneers of AI, Rana el Kaliouby makes the case that human-centric AI isn’t just a safety guardrail; it’s the key to thriving socially, economically, and emotionally.

Spitzen told Outside what it’s like to come face-to-face with one of the ocean’s largest marine mammals—and how his quick thinking may have saved his life.Walruses are serious business. Reaching weights of up to 5,000 pounds, the massive marine mammals have tusks towering three feet in length. They’re smooth, graceful swimmers through their cold Arctic waters and have been known to brawl with polar bears. Needless to say, they’re not an animal you want to come face-to-face with. The…

These days, tech bros keep talking about “taste”— the ability to exercise human judgment and determine unique responses while guiding a machine. It’s a rare skillset, as some AI-made media automates content in the form of generic slop. And now tech professionals are the very people worried that technology will rob society of any real taste. The New Yorker’s Kyle Chayka, who broke down tech bros’ obsession with taste last month, coined the term “taste-washing” as the act of giving “anti-humanist technologies a veneer of liberal humanism.” In other words: giving AI properties human-like qualities and letting them run with…
