Key Takeaways To scale and grow a company, founders need to ensure that other team members can tell the brand’s story with the same passion and conviction. This involves fine-tuning the story for maximum impact and making sure everyone understands how to tell it. Storytelling is on a heater. Brand wants it. Conference panels praise it. Leaders seek “Storytellers” by name.A sizable share of founders believe they’re great, natural storytellers. After all, they’ve sold investors, their first hires, and early customers. They’ve “muscled” the narrative through their sheer conviction.But here’s the hard truth: Early success is often a false positive.…
I expected a quiet family visit, but ended up in an assembly line of volunteers shoveling heavy mud away from flooded homes.

There’s a restaurant in New York City called Rosa Mexicana that positions itself as a fresh take on Mexican cuisine. It’s upscale, well curated, and delicious. However, my favorite part about the dining experience is when you order guacamole, the wait-staff wheels out a little cart, draped in the traditional Mexican cloth, a vibrant sarape, and staked with fresh ingredients—avocados, lime, onion, salt, all the things. And as they arrive at your table, they make the guacamole right there in front of you. It’s quite the show, and it makes the entire dining experience better.What the restaurant has realized is…
Key Takeaways High mortgage rates and a cooler housing market are leaving more homeowners unable to sell at the price they want. This dynamic prompts them to rent out properties instead of cutting prices. A near-record share of rental listings now comes from homes that recently failed to sell, with about 2.2% of Zillow rentals comprised of these “accidental landlord” properties. Americans who can’t get the price they want for their homes are increasingly turning into “accidental landlords,” renting out properties they had hoped to sell, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. A Zillow analysis shows…
In 2015, Disney discovered a new way to cash in on nostalgia: live-action remakes of its classic animated films. That started with Cinderella, brought back to the big screen 65 years after the original movie premiered. In the decade since, Disney has released 12 more of those remakes, with the gap between the original films’ release dates and the remakes growing shorter and shorter. The next entry is a remake of 2016’s Moana coming to theaters this July, a few months shy of the original’s 10-year anniversary.Disney remakes are designed to recapture the magic of the source material, replicating iconic…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI in the workplace is set to transition from repetitive tasks to strategic decision-making, with a focus on AI training and seeing AI as a teammate. Executives are using AI for strategic work, but there’s a gap with employee utilization that can be bridged with proper education and role enhancement. AI skills are becoming crucial across roles, leading to an emphasis on both hiring specialized talent and upskilling current employees.

The majority of President Trump’s tariffs were struck down earlier this year by the Supreme Court, but a number remain in place, with the threat of higher tariffs still to come. While the importers of tariffed goods are the ones who pay the actual tariff costs up front, they generally pass the cost of those tariffs onto you, the consumer, through higher prices.But just how much extra can you expect to pay this year based on the current tariff situation? That depends heavily on several factors, including your income level, your household size, and where you live in the country.The…
Key Takeaways Momentum compounds — consistent action creates opportunities that rarely appear when standing still. Success stalls when you shift from offense to defense and stop pushing forward. Small, daily actions build long-term growth faster than short bursts of intensity. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my career is simple: NEVER TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL!That doesn’t mean you sprint every second of every day. It means you keep moving forward. You keep building. You keep pushing.Success has a funny way of tricking people into slowing down. A big deal closes. A company hits a milestone. Revenue…

Each participant went through the same testing protocol twice: once after a full night of sleep and once after staying awake all night under supervision.

Now they have data showing it works—and they’re scaling up. Over the months that the solar microgrid has been in use, it’s run 99.2% of the time, outperforming the companies’ targets. And unlike other data centers that rely on fossil fuels, this one uses only clean power.It’s very different from the standard way to build a data center. “The normal approach would be to get in line with a utility, wait for any number of years, and hopefully one day get an approval and join the grid,” says Cully Cavness, cofounder, president, and chief strategy officer at Crusoe. “This is…
