Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Stop chasing the one channel that “worked” last quarter. Customers are stitching together nearly 20 touchpoints before they buy, so your job is showing up consistently everywhere, not guessing right once. AI will get your product in front of the right person, but it won’t close the sale for you — the reviews, the pricing, the checkout still have to hold up once a human actually looks. Loyalty isn’t a big campaign twice a year, it’s showing up the same way, on the same terms, over and over. Remember those…

Published July 30, 2026 08:49AMI love car camping because it’s one of the few opportunities in the outdoors to give efficiency the middle finger. For most adventures, I’m shaving a few grams wherever I can, optimizing storage space, and constantly making decisions about what stays and what goes. Car camping? Nope, I’m not doing any of that. If it fits in the car, it’s coming with me.It’s a chance to bring all the little bits and bobs you’re normally forced to leave behind, turningn your campsite into a camp home. However, what you soon find out when you adopt the…

For decades, the default design for an airliner has been a long tube with wings. JetZero just landed a preliminary $3 billion deal from the US government to help build something really different: a “blended-wing” plane that looks more like a manta ray, with four aisles, no passenger windows, and a shape that the company says cuts fuel use by 30% compared to newer jets like the 787, the Wall Street Journal reports. The concept isn’t new, but it’s never made it to market. NASA spent more than $1 billion researching blended-wing aircraft decades ago with Boeing, and Airbus studied…

Published July 30, 2026 04:00AMI recently read Sebastian Junger’s The Perfect Storm—which grew out of a 1994 Outside article—that recounts the sinking of a Massachusetts fishing boat at sea. One passage caught me off guard. Junger is trying to understand why the massive storm formed and references global warming as a possibility. It surprised me that he didn’t say climate change was definitively a factor until I realized he was writing more than 30 years ago, before climate change was widely accepted as real and its effects became obvious.Today, all I have to do to understand the realities of climate…

Published July 30, 2026 03:00AMKey Takeaways: Results from a July 2026 study published in Frontiers in Psychology suggest that what you smell prior to working out may have a positive impact on performance. Participants who smelled dark chocolate before strength training completed 18 more reps than those who smelled distilled water. Though the study is small, it provides meaningful insight regarding how odor affects performance. A sports physiologist explains how much an 18-rep increase can impact your ability to engage in your favorite outdoor activities. Smell can incite a strong bodily response. Most of us recoil at the scent of dog…

Imagine if your business could deploy a team of virtual agents that not only execute repetitive tasks but also make strategic decisions, learn, collaborate and adapt in real-time to changing conditions — all at a scale that was once unattainable due to limitations in hiring, capitalization or other constraints. This is the power of agentic AI, a transformative technology that automates business processes, enabling organizations to scale operations, decision-making and innovation exponentially.In recent years, tools like Robotic Process Automation (RPA) have been deployed to automate repetitive, low-value human tasks such as data…

Key Takeaways Eddie Smith Jr., the 83-year-old owner of Grady-White Boats, turned down a $400 million sale and instead committed the company’s future profits to charity. Smith has kept full control of the company since buying it in 1968 and growing it into a leading producer of high-end recreational fishing boats. Under the new structure, Smith will remain at the company as chief executive emeritus and draw an annual salary of undisclosed value. In 1968, Eddie Smith Jr.’s path was far from guaranteed success or riches. That year, he took a gamble on a struggling boat company in Greenville, North…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most employees don’t come to work planning to be dishonest — they come in trying to survive the room, and the silent editing they do to belong slowly drains creativity, communication and engagement from the team. Leaders build honesty less through speeches and more through repeated behavior: modeling self-honesty, creating predictable spaces for truth and choosing curiosity before conclusion when someone reacts, underperforms or withdraws. Most employees do not walk into work planning to be dishonest. They walk in trying to survive the room. They read the tone, notice who…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI does not build a premium personal brand by producing more content — it builds one by sharpening your thinking, deepening your positioning and turning years of expertise into scalable intellectual property. Stop starting from zero every time you open Claude or ChatGPT — build a persistent brand ecosystem the system already knows, then feed it real audience data like transcripts, DMs and reviews so the output reflects what your audience is actually saying. If you are building a personal brand and are not actively learning how to use AI…
