Can’t recall? Well, according to gastroenterologists, you might want to start. The color and consistency of stool, and dump frequency, can provide insight into your overall health and whether you could be exercising just a little too much. Here’s what to know.

The automotive industry is driving toward an electric future, and one Montreal-based company is determined to tow the recreational vehicle market along with it. Taiga Motors has spent the last decade building out production capacity to deliver fully electric snowmobiles and Jet Ski-like personal watercraft that they believe can go toe-to-toe with gas-powered alternatives. As with electric cars, the ride is designed to feel smoother, faster, and whisper-quiet, filling an unaddressed niche in the motor sports vehicle category. “If you’re on the water, all you hear is the wind and the waves. And if you’re on the snow, you hardly hear anything—just…
Meetings look neutral on the calendar. Everyone’s calendar is stamped with the same blue 30-minute block. Everyone gets a seat at the table, and—supposedly—the same shot to contribute. But the moment you click “Join,” the pecking order kicks in. Meetings are where power is put on display, credit is scooped up, and the rules of who speaks and who doesn’t are enforced. If you want to understand how inequality festers inside an organization, start watching what happens in your meetings.At a time when women’s representation in the workplace has stagnated and their presence in senior leadership positions is slipping, we need…
Before there was an iPod, an iPhone, an iPad, or an Apple Watch—before there was a Macintosh or Apple II or even an Apple-1—there were a couple of kids who came of age in Silicon Valley in the late 1960s and early 1970s.Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were brought together by a shared fascination with electronics. Supported by friends, family, and a burgeoning community of hobbyists, technologists, and entrepreneurs, just as the microprocessor was ushering in a new era, they channeled their strikingly different skills into joint projects.On April 1, 1976, along with Jobs’s former coworker Ronald Wayne, the two…
The climate crisis demands that we rethink how we construct the built environment. Buildings account for more than 33% of global energy consumption and nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional building materials like concrete, steel, and glass are energy-intensive to produce, meaning truly sustainable buildings are difficult to achieve when we rely on the status quo.Mass timber—engineered wood products that deliver immense structural strength while reducing environmental impact—has emerged as a compelling alternative. Swapping concrete for timber reduces embodied carbon by up to 26.5% per square foot. And the benefits go well beyond carbon metrics: Mass timber offers more…
If you’re a Gen Xer like me, Andrew McCarthy defined a pretty significant chunk of your teenage movie-going experience — Pretty in Pink, Mannequin, Weekend at Bernie’s, and Less Than Zero were the freakin’ jam. But McCarthy has dramatically expanded his resume since starring in those iconic ’80s flicks, becoming a New York Times bestselling author, travel writer for major publications, and TV director. He joined me on How Success Happens to discuss his latest book, Who Needs Friends: An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America, and shared insights on fear, vulnerability, and why showing up matters more than…
Now, that crowd has something to celebrate: the end of OpenAI’s video generation platform Sora. On Tuesday, March 24, OpenAI announced it was shutting down Sora, its AI-first TikTok clone, just months after its launch in September of 2025. “We’re saying goodbye to Sora,” the company said in a statement. “To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.” The news came as a surprise, especially given Disney’s billion-dollar investment in Sora in December, which came with a licensing deal that…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways By combining Zero Trust principles (“never trust, always verify”) with AI, organizations can improve resilience and reduce downtime while maintaining strict access controls. Instead of static rules, AI analyzes context (location, timing, behavior patterns) during recovery events to ensure that only legitimate recovery efforts will take place. “Assume breach” is now a recovery strategy. By treating a breach as inevitable, you can design strong systems and always be on guard for threats — and AI makes these systems even more powerful. Over many years, cybersecurity and business progress have existed…
Air travelers are experiencing the highest wait times ever under the Transportation Security Administration, the agency’s acting head told Congress on Wednesday, as the latest offer to end a funding impasse and put restraints on President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda met fierce resistance.The TSA’s Ha Nguyen McNeill described the mounting hardships facing unpaid airport workers — piling up bills and eviction notices, even plasma donations to make ends meet — and warned that lawmakers must ensure “this never happens again.”“This is a dire situation,” she said.Yet on the 40th day of the standoff involving the Department of Homeland Security, there was no easy…
