Key Takeaways The highest costs of workplace injuries are often indirect — not medical bills or insurance claims, but lost productivity, higher premiums, hiring and training replacements and operational disruptions. Workplace injuries can damage company culture and reputation. Safety incidents can lower employee morale, increase turnover and hurt recruiting and client relationships. Treating workplace safety as a strategic investment rather than a compliance burden pays off. Prevention is always cheaper than recovery. Most business owners treat workplace injuries as a rare disruption — something handled by HR, filed with insurance and quietly…

Updated July 17, 2026 02:36PMIt’s considered the greatest adventure story ever told. A 2,800-year-old-epic poem that’s been retold for millennia is now reborn in theaters today. The Odyssey is Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan’s $250-million-budget film adaptation of Greek poet Homer’s classic. Matt Damon stars as the heroic Greek King Odysseus who embarks on a harrowing ten-year journey battling monsters, gods, and the high seas. The film’s cast includes a number of Hollywood heavyweights: Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Zendaya.Beyond the all-star cast, one of the most extraordinary elements of the film is that it was…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Entrepreneurs spend years building systems to improve every aspect of their businesses. They create sales systems, marketing systems, hiring systems, financial systems, and operational systems—all designed to improve efficiency and drive better results. Yet according to Daniel Krynzel, many overlook the one system that influences every decision they make: the one running inside their own mind. “The quality of your leadership is determined long before your first meeting,” Krynzel says. “If you don’t intentionally direct your mind, the world will gladly do it for you.” The Battle Most Entrepreneurs Never Realize They’re…

Published July 17, 2026 10:50AMThis article has been medically reviewed by Dr. Ingrid Yang, MD.  Social media can be a hotbed of health misinformation, but recent research suggests the platform can be particularly problematic when it comes to spreading sunscreen myths. The research study, published in PLOS Digital Health, analyzed nearly 1,000 TikTok videos with the highest number of views across five of the most popular sunscreen-related hashtags. While approximately 87 percent of the videos promoted sunscreen use, the researchers found that the videos with the highest amount of engagement—in the form of likes, comments, and shares—contained misinformation. In other…

Shoppers are letting go of lettuce, even though health officials haven’t confirmed it’s to blame for food poisoning across the nation, the Wall Street Journal reports. More than 30 states have reported parasitic cyclospora cases, with over 140 people hospitalized. The illness can cause explosive diarrhea and vomiting, and Michigan officials have pointed to lettuce and salad greens as a possible source. Nothing is confirmed yet, but that hasn’t stopped diners and businesses from steering clear. One Michigan catering company is already fielding requests to swap wedding salads for cooked vegetables. Growers are feeling it too. “People are calling in and…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Companies that prioritize team connection, psychological safety and communication create the foundation needed to scale sustainably. As businesses grow, leaders must protect their culture and relationships or risk turning growth into misalignment, burnout and turnover. Successfully scaling a business requires a strong foundation. The right processes must be in place because scaling a flawed process will only magnify its deficiencies. You need to have your finances in order to handle the increase in expenses that comes with any scaling effort.And perhaps most importantly of all, you need to have strong…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Being surrounded by “yes-people” will lead nowhere good. Instead, intentionally create a culture that welcomes dissension and encourages thoughtful disagreement, both to keep yourself in check and to keep your organization on track. The fastest way to build trust as a leader is to acknowledge when you’re wrong and give credit when someone else was right. Walk into many startups and you’ll find a dangerous pattern: the founder speaks, and everyone agrees. Not because they are convinced — but because they are afraid. Afraid of being seen as negative. Afraid…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The people outside your organization will always give you something your team never can: an honest, real-world perspective with nothing to gain from telling you what you want to hear. Surround yourself with the right people in the right rooms and watch how quickly your business and your thinking change. Your most honest feedback will never come from inside your organization. Most entrepreneurs are building their circle the wrong way. They chase investors, collect business cards at networking events and add connections on LinkedIn they will never actually talk to.…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The most important business decisions rarely come with complete information — mission and directional signals matter more than certainty. Not every choice deserves the same scrutiny — reversible decisions should be made fast, while irreversible ones deserve real deliberation. Entrepreneurs are often told to be “data-driven.” In theory, that sounds simple: gather the numbers, analyze the trends and make the most logical decision. But many of the most important decisions happen long before enough data exists to feel confident.New markets, emerging technologies and innovative products rarely come with a complete…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. In 2025, ROMTech had a problem most startups would envy: far more demand than it could immediately fulfill. The Connecticut-based company makes the PortableConnect, a connected rehabilitation device that lets patients recovering from orthopedic surgery complete therapy at home while clinicians monitor their progress remotely. As orders accelerated, CEO Peter Arn made a decision that runs counter to most growth-stage playbooks:  he made revenue wait. The company kept growing, but deliberately moderated its expansion while strengthening the operational infrastructure and clinical oversight required for larger scale. It meant leaving some short-term revenue on…
