Updated July 24, 2026 09:25AMAs a lifelong local of the Sun Valley, Idaho, area, home to the famous Sun Valley Resort, I’ve lived my life with a backdrop of towering peaks, flowing rivers, and an expansive and clear night sky. From pointing out shooting stars as my friends and I have sat around campfires to simply taking in the dark, quiet solitude of a wintry night sky while walking home, the vastness that is the night sky in Sun Valley has always been a companion.Seeing the stars at night has long been a draw for small towns, and Sun Valley…

Apple can’t keep up with demand from AI users snapping up its computers, so it’s redesigning nearly all of them, Bloomberg reports. Much of that demand comes from hobbyists and developers running AI agents locally on Mac minis and Mac Studios instead of in the cloud. Some Mac mini and Mac Studio orders won’t ship for at least three months. The headline release is a high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with a touch screen and OLED display, both firsts for the Mac, arriving between late this year and early next year. A refreshed entry-level MacBook Pro and the first…

Published July 24, 2026 05:00AMAfter years (and miles) of wade fishing, I’ve always wanted my own kayak but could never quite figure out how to practically store one. Living in an apartment in upstate New York means I simply don’t have the space to stash a hard-shell boat. Add in the hassle of buying a trailer or a roof rack just to get it to the water, and owning a kayak has always been like a down-the-line dream.Sure, inflatable fishing kayaks have existed, but I’ve always been skeptical. For years, they carried the reputation of being soft, couch-y, and one…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The “feature trap” is the false belief that the answer to every business problem is a new button. In reality, every new feature introduces friction. The worst part is — it makes the onboarding process complicated for new users. Instead of making your product better, you are just making it harder to use. If you want to save your product, conduct a feature audit first and look at your data with honesty. Don’t just ask your users what they want; instead, look at what they actually do. Track their behavior.…

Cinnamon is having a moment, and Cinnabon might be the biggest beneficiary. More chefs are sprinkling on the spice’s cozy, nostalgic appeal than in years past, according to Restaurant Business, and Cinnabon has ridden that wave to its best growth year in company history. The chain opened over 300 new locations in 2025, more than almost every other fast-food brand except Wingstop, QSR reports. Only Wingstop opened more, with 382 net new stores. But it wasn’t just the cinnamon rolls doing the heavy lifting. Cinnabon has been quietly building out its drink menu, rolling Seattle’s Best coffee into stores nationwide…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Internal requests need the same clarity as external campaigns — a clear ask, context, and a real deadline or they’ll get deprioritized by default. Making work visible to stakeholders’ managers and following up on a consistent schedule turns accountability into a system instead of a personality trait. If your marketing projects keep stalling, the problem is rarely the strategy. It’s the system surrounding how work actually gets done. Most marketers are highly skilled at influencing external audiences. They know messaging, timing and what drives action. They can move a prospect…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Bad news doesn’t erode trust — surprise and confusion do; teams stay engaged when leaders explain the decision and the reasoning behind it, not just the outcome. Every hard conversation should hit four beats: state the facts directly, explain the business context, acknowledge the human impact and lay out a clear path forward. In 2008, the financial world was coming apart at the seams. I was at Morgan Stanley, and no one knew what was coming next. But when leadership came in to talk to us, they did it in…

Robert Irvine does not do “small.” He is a celebrity chef, British Royal Navy veteran, bestselling author, relentless road warrior and the driving force behind the Robert Irvine Foundation, which supports service members, veterans, first responders and their families. His latest project is a six‑month national tour with rock band O.A.R., using their 30th anniversary tour to raise money and awareness for veterans with special donation activations at every stop. Last time I chatted with Robert, it was live on stage at a How Success Happens recording in New York City last summer. It was great to reconnect and dig…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways A clear leadership message can change the language in the room. But when pressure returns, people follow what the organization has made safe, protected and survivable. If speed, ownership, transparency or accountability create risk for employees, the organization will continue defaulting to slower, safer behaviors. The sharper question isn’t whether the message was clear, but whether the system made the message safe to act on. The message landed well. You’d just told the organization specifically what needed to change. Decisions had to move faster, ownership had to become clearer, problems…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Fewer clicks isn’t the same as less impact. Your buyers are doing more of their homework before they ever hit your site — in AI answers, reviews, videos and DMs you’ll never see in analytics. A traffic dip can actually mean people are showing up more informed and closer to buying, not that your marketing stopped working. Imagine your CEO walks into your office and says, “Website traffic is down 12%. Should I be worried?” Ten years ago, the answer might have been yes. Today, the honest answer is: maybe.…
