If you were a film geek in the ’80s and ’90s like me, Bruce Campbell’s face and voice are permanently etched into your brain. He’s the legendary actor behind Ash in the Evil Dead films, the star of Burn Notice and Bubba Ho-Tep, and the author of three New York Times bestsellers. Now, with his wife Ida Gearon, he has written, directed, produced and self-funded Ernie & Emma, a sweet, funny, chainsaw-free film about a widowed salesman. Bruce skipped traditional distribution and is touring with the film himself on an 18-city Alamo Drafthouse run continuing through November. Bruce joined me…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Start with a clear plan about what should change for the customer. Business goals and metrics alone do not define the design problem. Features and technology should support the intended customer outcome, not drive it. Test usability and business results separately, and let evidence challenge the original idea. Most website design projects become specific very quickly. Teams discuss a content management system, navigation, landing pages, search, personalization, integrations and the other capabilities the site may need. By the time business or brand owners review the project, there may already be an impressive…
Published October 29, 2026 08:30AMOverview: The best skis for intermediates in our test are the Atomic Maverick 84, our Editors’ Choice for all-around versatility, and the Dynastar M-Cross 78, the most intuitive and forgiving. The Rossignol Arcade 80 scored highest for carving, and the Head Pure Joy is a ski-and-binding system for women. Ten ski instructors, patrollers, and shop pros tested 13 skis under $650 at Eldora Mountain, Colorado. Being an intermediate skier does not mean mediocrity. Ski brands know that skill should be cultivated, which is why the best skis for intermediates have characteristics that help skiers gain confidence…
Published October 29, 2026 03:05AMJust after 10:40 A.M. on September 26, 2022, ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison clipped into their skis on the exposed summit of Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. They were on the Nepali peak training for an even more audacious goal: skiing the direct North Face of Mount Everest, a descent no one had ever completed. Pemba Sherpa (Sharwa) was on the ridge filming them for the upcoming documentary, Everest: The Other Side. Up there, at 26,781 feet, the wind tugged at a string of prayer flags secured to the peak. Nelson and…

In the latest Long Read on the Outside Podcast, we read Nick Davidson’s investigative story about an investigation to bust tree poachers in the Pacific Northwest. Published October 29, 2026 03:43AMDeep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, criminals scour the forest for rare and valuable trees. Wood from a single bigleaf maple can fetch thousands of dollars on the black market, before its treated and used to produce rare violins. In 2018, the federal government investigated allegations of bigleaf maple poaching in Olympic National Forest after timber thieves accidentally started a wildfire. Using DNA from a felled tree, they…
Published October 29, 2026 03:10AMWith two torn and repaired ACLs behind me and my late thirties approaching, my body has made it clear that doing the activity is no longer adequate preparation for doing said activity. If I want to enjoy ski season, I need to put in some work before the lifts start spinning. I also know myself well enough to understand that I respond better to the stick than the carrot when it comes to exercise accountability. So, for the third year in a row, I’ve signed up for a five-week winter conditioning program at a studio near…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Define the business problem and desired outcomes before prescribing pages, templates or technology solutions. Separate true requirements from assumptions so agencies know where they can challenge and recommend. Evaluate agencies by the questions they ask, the tradeoffs they identify and the judgment they bring to the process. I have read website Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that specify the CMS, sitemap, number of templates, integrations, design rounds, development requirements and launch date down to the smallest detail. Sometimes they are 20 or 30 pages long. Yet after reading them, the most…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The rise of “soft life” and “tradwife” trends reflects workplace dissatisfaction, not a lack of ambition. Women’s hard work hasn’t translated into equal rewards. Despite their efforts, women continue to face pay disparities, motherhood-related earnings losses and underrepresentation in executive leadership. Women should be free to choose their paths, but they shouldn’t feel forced to abandon their careers to achieve balance, well-being and fulfillment. Hannah Neeleman wakes up before the sun. She milks her cows. She bakes bread from scratch. Somewhere in between, she teaches dance to some of her…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Experts largely agree that business school can offer you one thing that can’t be achieved via online tutorials: a large, built-in network. But a network is only what you make of it. The fact is that nothing can really ever prepare you for starting your own business. An MBA can, however, help lay the groundwork. In the age of AI, the learning curve for starting a business is less steep. But that’s why there’s even more of a reason to go to business school — they’re teaching students to think strategically…
