Meta has a hit AI app, and a 29-year-old billionaire is getting the credit. The Meta Muse app, which performs multi-step tasks and runs actions in the background for users, passed 5 million U.S. downloads 22 days after its Sept. 8 launch, according to Mashable. And Meta’s stock is up nearly 20% since Muse debuted. Now all eyes are on Muse mastermind Alexandr Wang, the MIT dropout who co-founded data-labeling startup Scale AI and became one of the world’s youngest self-made billionaires. Mark Zuckerberg recruited him in June 2025 after Meta invested $14 billion for a 49% stake in Scale.…

Prices have outpaced paychecks since March, but Americans haven’t stopped spending, Bloomberg reports. One trick making the rounds is the “double fill up.” Elizabeth Gentile, 61, and her husband park two cars on opposite sides of a pump at their Atlanta-area Kroger. When one tank is full, they hand the nozzle to the other driver. It counts as one transaction, so both cars get the store’s discount of up to $1 a gallon. That adds up with gas averaging more than $4 nationwide. The couple explains the move to anyone waiting. “So far everyone has understood,” Gentile tells Bloomberg. Others…

Crumbl was hot out of the oven in the post-pandemic era, but a series of missteps has the cookie chain going stale. CEO Jason McGowan is owning it. “The buck stops with me,” he told franchisees last week, Restaurant Business reports. “It’s my fault where we are today.” An internal document obtained by the outlet shows August sales were 70% lower than two years earlier. Placer.ai data shows foot traffic at Crumbl’s more than 1,000 locations fell 32% year over year. At least 57 stores have closed this year, and the company recently laid off much of its franchise support…

We also highly recommend the budget-friendly Royal Robbins Lost Coast Flannel for seamless trail-to-office transitions, while the Outdoor Research Ravenna Flannel Shirt takes top honors for versatility. Fall is the time of year when my wardrobe shows just how basic of a mountain-town outdoor dude I am. Read: I am always wearing flannels. I am…

Published October 5, 2026 03:00AMInside an old general store in Garnet, Montana—a once booming, now abandoned 1890s mining town—a congealed blob of ketchup still clings stubbornly to an antique bottle. It’s as if a grizzled prospector dunked his last bite of steak, stepped outside, and forgot to return for dessert. At least that’s what a handful of visitors—guests from the luxe ranch Paws Up, 36 miles away—guessed as we gaped at what’s widely considered one of Montana’s best-preserved ghost towns. We gleefully photographed the ketchup and Garnet’s gloriously ramshackle outhouse, laughed at the tale of the town’s lone communal bathtub,…

Published October 4, 2026 11:21PMHow we reported this story: We interviewed certified Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis instructor Leslie Hubbard. Hubbard demonstrates the exercises in the videos below.  A few days into a weeklong backcountry skiing trip, a friend showed me an exercise routine unlike anything I’d done before. She led me through a sequence of rolling, stretching, and flexing movements to attend to all of the tiny, neglected, and overworked muscles in my feet and ankles. It felt amazing. My friend told me she’d learned the moves through classes in Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis, two exercise methods that I’d never heard of. My…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The first conversation with a customer is not the beginning of the sales process. It’s often closer to the end of it. Your first impression actually starts with whatever exists on the internet about you and your business. People don’t hire the first company they find. They hire the first one they truly believe in. For a long time, winning in real estate meant being easier to find. Get your name in front of more people, show up on more searches, run more ads and post more content. The industry…
