Key Takeaways Camille K. Manaois, a 25-year-old social media professional, snail-mailed out her resume to six firms. One of those firms sent her resume to a company in the same building, and she landed an interview. Manaois started her new job in December after making it through multiple rounds of interviews and an assessment. Job hunting isn’t getting any easier — recent LinkedIn data shows that the number of U.S. applicants per open role has doubled since spring 2022. Nearly two-thirds of job seekers say their search is tougher now, mostly because they are facing more competition than ever before. …

Steep slopes, harsh weather, and unforgiving terrain make Teton County one of the toughest places in the country to get rescued. But it just got a little easier thanks to this first-response vehicle.Teton County Search and Rescue’s new Bronco®. (Photo: Ford)Published March 18, 2026 06:34PMTeton County was already one of the country’s most unforgiving places for search and rescue. The spectacular alpine terrain comes with sheer cliffs, gaping ravines, and avalanche-prone slopes. But recently, a hard job has gotten even harder. That’s because the number of backcountry accidents is skyrocketing while budgets are shrinking—leaving rescuers without the tools they need…

Introspection? Marc Andreessen has never heard of it.  Speaking on David Senra’s podcast, the cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz, one of the world’s largest venture capital firms, said he has “zero” levels of introspection: “As little as possible. Move forward. Go,” adding, “I find that people who dwell on the past get stuck in the past. It’s a problem at work and it’s a problem at home.” In the lengthy interview, the noted AI accelerationist went on to state that introspection is a “manufacture” of the early 1900s. Sigmund Freud and his peers are held responsible, according to Andreessen, for introducing…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Artificial intelligence is not only reshaping workflows and productivity. It is quietly destabilizing how many leaders define their value. This uncertainty triggers subtle reactions. Leaders may become hyper-vigilant, overwork, tighten control or compare themselves to younger talent, as it shifts them into defensive strategy. The leaders who thrive will be the ones who transform their internal operating system first and notice their own patterns before they start driving decisions. They will also be the ones who stay steady when comparison rises and tolerate not being the smartest in the room…

A new case in front of labor regulators could answer a question many workers might have contemplated. Can your employer fire you for speaking out against the CEO? During a hearing this month, the National Labor Relations Board—the federal agency tasked with enforcing labor law—weighed in on a case involving software company Atlassian, which reportedly fired an engineer in 2023 for criticizing the CEO over a restructuring plan that led to job losses. The NLRB argued that Atlassian had illegally fired the employee, Bloomberg reported this week, after obtaining a transcript of the hearing through a Freedom of Information Act…

Imagine opening your work email and reading a sentence that makes your stomach drop:“I was injured because of your product.”“Your driver caused an accident.”“I’m filing a complaint against your business.”In moments like these, most companies improvise. Frontline employees freeze. Managers aren’t sure who to involve. Legal and insurance hear about it too late. And valuable time is lost while everyone reacts instead of executing.Here’s the reality: complaints and potential claims aren’t just legal events — they’re leadership moments.You can’t always control what happens, but you can control how prepared your team is when it does. The difference comes down to…

Updated March 18, 2026 07:37AMAlex Zhang Chief creative officer at Powder Mountain (Photo: Johnny Le) An open-air art museum you can ski and hike through? This is Alex Zhang’s vision: to bring world-class art to Powder Mountain, a 12,000-acre ski resort in northern Utah and one of the largest in North America. Having skied the mountain over the last decade, Zhang didn’t want it to lose its soul with overdevelopment, as other ski towns and ski resorts in the West have, he said. Inspired by the Japanese “art islands” where art breathed new life into depopulated and aging islands, Zhang…

The nation’s capital is getting a new Situation Room this weekend. But rather than generals and high ranking officials, this D.C bar is for the people “monitoring the situation.” The bar’s premise is a play on the viral “monitoring the situation” meme, which refers to the seemingly heroic act of doing nothing but watching current events unfold by scrolling on social media, an act often associated with male users. The meme’s roots can be traced to one particular image of a muscular Jeff Bezos attentively looking into the horizon as he watched the Blue Origin mission. The viral post read…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Leaders often resist disagreement because they conflate criticism of ideas with criticism of self. Domain-specific confidence unlocks openness. When leaders anchor their confidence in specific areas of expertise, disagreement outside of that area stops feeling threatening. Psychological safety and deliberate processes — like arguing both sides of an issue or formally assigning someone to find flaws — normalize disagreement so it never feels personal or disloyal. We have all likely heard the advice that good leaders need to be open to other perspectives. That’s how we address our blind spots…

Published March 18, 2026 07:32AMA few years ago, Berne Broudy went to her happy place. On most days, like that day, that meant being on a mountain bike riding singletrack trails with friends near Burlington, Vermont. But that day was not most days.
