But the Fed will also release a set of quarterly projections, and they could alter their forecast of one…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. In the past, professional athletes were the stars while their trainers remained the unsung heroes behind the scenes.

Manasse has parlayed his pickleball prowess into roles as a broadcaster on Tennis Channel and Pickleball TV, partnerships with brands like…

Entrepreneurship has been synonymous with sleep deprivation for decades. Treating sleep as a weakness, CEOs and founders have worn the “founder’s grind” on their faces—showing off dark circles as badges of honor, and drawing a parallel between exhaustion and commitment. Sleep became optional in the name of business success. I’ve worn that badge and know that grind all too well. In my roles as a founder and entrepreneur, I treated sleep as a luxury, and it wasn’t until I lost the ability to get a good night’s rest that I realized just how critical it was to my performance. For…

Published March 18, 2026 03:28AMWe spend a lot of time hyping up the latest and greatest in the gear world, from bombproof hiking backpacks to highly anticipated EVs. But there’s a certain magic in the tattered, the torn, and the un-trashable gear in our closets. The backpacks we’ve had since our first-ever day hikes, the threadbare fleece that somehow feels warmer than any fancy down jacket, the years-old tent that’s discontinued, so we methodically repair and patch every point of weakness.This month, we aren’t asking our editors for the best new thing they’ve tested.
