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. A man she’d never met arrived for the group ride. Greg Durso, who is now 40, suffered a sledding accident in 2009 that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He mounted up on his three-wheel adaptive bike and the group rolled off.The Hinesburg Town Forest offers classic New England riding with hand-built “rake and ride” trails…
The partial U.S. government shutdown has made air travel incredibly difficult over the past few weeks as many airports are facing major staffing shortages. The timing centers around spring break, when many go on trips—and also when the NCAA Basketball Championships take place. It takes a massive effort to coordinate travel plans for 68 men’s and women’s basketball teams, over the course of just a few days in between the Selection Show on Sunday night and the first games, whether they are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Add on the compounding travel issues of staff shortages, charter plane…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Early-stage startups stay aligned because founders are in every conversation, but as teams grow, unclear communication causes growth to quietly stall. Over-communicating creates noise. Under-communicating creates confusion. Focus on clearly defining priorities, explaining decisions and distinguishing between signal and noise. Successful founders repeat the same core narrative over time, creating shared language across teams that improves decision-making and coordinated execution. Founders rarely think of communication as a growth constraint.They focus on product market fit, funding, hiring and expansion. When growth slows, they examine sales funnels, pricing models and marketing channels.…
