Published November 1, 2026 03:10AMI’ve always been jealous of people with a kitted-out Land Cruiser or a made-to-order Sprinter van. These #adventuremobiles not only look cool and bestow the driver with backcountry cred, but they also offer the freedom to roam without worrying about finding a place to pitch a tent. Behind the wheel of one, you can venture into the unknown and, when sleepiness starts making your eyelids heavy, pull off the road for some fully prone shut-eye without even stepping outside. Even if you’re not pulling over at the last minute, these rigs serve as comfy, spacious home…

Heavy fiberglass shells keep gear secure on mountain trips, but they make routine hauling a headache. A lightweight, air-filled setup gave me my pickup bed back.The Flated Cap56 (Photo: Abigail Wise)Published November 1, 2026 03:12AMFor more than a decade, I’ve driven trucks, and always with a fiberglass hardshell topper. The cap transformed the bed of my pickup into a gear shed for all of my outdoor equipment and a tiny cabin for me to crash in on climbing trips and before alpine starts. But, as my hard shell weighed north of 150 pounds, I never—and I mean that literally—took it…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways By the time a tactic is safe enough to carry that label, it is crowded and drained of any edge it once held. The same trap shows up in how you measure success. The highest-return version refuses to fight inside a crowded category at all. Instead of scrapping for a sliver of space the leader already defined, you reframe the problem so you become the obvious answer to a question nobody else is asking. AI systems are becoming the layer between your customer and the answer, and the brands that…

Published October 31, 2026 05:00AMWhen Jimmy Chin was in his twenties, living out of a 1989 Subaru Loyale somewhere between Yosemite and the Tetons, he kept trying to explain climbing to his father. His father, a librarian at Mankato State University in Minnesota, would listen, and then say: “Our language is 5,000 years old, and there is no word for what you do.” Chin has spent the decades since building a vocabulary for it anyway, as a climber, a photographer, and the Oscar-winning director of Free Solo featuring Alex Honnold, and his latest film, Everest: The Other Side, which documents…

Published October 31, 2026 03:05AMThe forest sounds empty, but I know it’s not. Earlier today, I’d walked along the lakeshore and seen hoof prints, a cougar track, and coyote scat. The trees have all turned black beneath the night sky. The only light comes from the full moon creeping through clouds. I’m deep in Washington’s Gifford National Forest and it’s so quiet I can hear my own heartbeat. No creature is giving its location away by making noise—but we certainly aren’t alone as we stand on the edge of a lake, its waters as dark as midnight. I look at…

To stay consistent on the days you don’t feel like doing anything, the internet’s latest trend will keep you motivated to keep going and preserve your fitness gains. (Photo: Woman outdoors: Raul Ortin/Getty; Design: Ayana Underwood/Canva)Published October 31, 2026 12:43AMThe term cardio often elicits grumbles as people picture punishing treadmill sessions and trail runs. But add the word cozy before it, and cardio is suddenly…a lot more palatable. That’s the gist behind the “cozy cardio” trend, which took off on social media in 2024 and resurfaced in 2026. The concept is simple: perform low- to moderate-intensity workouts in a comfortable,…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Business growth depends on more than increasing revenue and attracting customers. The technology decisions companies make behind the scenes can determine whether they scale successfully or struggle with rising costs, operational inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Outdated systems, inefficient technology infrastructure, poor data management and cybersecurity risks can quietly limit scalability and profitability. For most entrepreneurs, growth is the ultimate measure of success. Expanding into new markets, acquiring customers, increasing revenue and building stronger teams are often the priorities that dominate strategic discussions. However, one critical factor frequently receives less attention:…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The first 30 days: Write down how the work actually happens. Choose one process that touches revenue directly, and identify which tasks AI can handle versus those requiring human judgment. Days 31 to 60: Take ownership of your data before it owns you. Organize business data, assign clear ownership, standardize definitions, and ensure data can be easily exported. Days 61 to 90: Redesign who decides and what gets measured. Clarify human accountability, and track improvements in cycle time, service costs and customer turnaround. When I wrote about the difference between…

I’ve interviewed a lot of successful people, but Asher Grodman is the first to become famous mostly without pants. Grodman plays Trevor, the forever-trouserless finance bro on CBS’s hit comedy Ghosts. (Backstory on his wardrobe: On the show, Trevor died while pantsless, hence his spirit is forever pantless in the afterlife.) Subscribe to Entrepreneur’s How Success Happens podcast: Apple | Spotify | YouTube On the eve of Ghost’s eagerly awaited Halloween special (look for it on-demand, trust me), I spoke to Grodman over video from his trailer. We talked about the skills, mindset and determination it took for him to break into an industry that…
