Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Understanding a company’s financial health takes more than just looking at profit, because a business can look successful on paper while still struggling to stay afloat day to day. That’s because profit is an accounting measure — it’s shaped by timing rules, estimates and non-cash adjustments. This is why the cash flow statement is one of the most important documents for understanding how a business really works. It’s split into three main categories — operating activities, investing activities and financing activities — and together these three sections give you a full picture…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Kwamane Liddell did not build ThriveLink because he thought healthcare needed another app. He built it because he had seen what happens when access breaks down in ordinary, avoidable ways. His uncle suffered a stroke while living in a food desert, an experience that shaped how Liddell came to understand the link between health, infrastructure and everyday access. Liddell’s own path through healthcare gave him a different perspective on the problem. He started as a hospital janitor, later became a trauma nurse, trained as a lawyer and eventually moved into executive leadership. Across those…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Chasing bigger numbers at the expense of employees eventually hurts the business too. When employees feel valued and understand why their work matters, they’re more resilient and less likely to burn out. Listening to employees and acting on their feedback builds trust, engagement and long-term retention. Burnout is often framed as a workload problem. But in high-performing organizations — especially those that are people-based — that’s rarely the full story. I’m seeing this play out daily in veterinary medicine. One vet I recently spoke to was seeing 20-plus patients a…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Paper has had a decade-long head start as the “sustainable” alternative, and yet the global packaging waste problem is far from solved. For entrepreneurs making packaging decisions, this reframe changes the game. The opportunity is not in finding a slightly less harmful disposable. It is in designing materials and systems where disposability itself becomes unnecessary. Not many people spend their idle hours reading research findings about trash management. I do. What happens to a material at the end of its life is at the core of the work I do.…

Published July 7, 2026 11:44AMIn my younger days, I spent a decade adventure racing, where I’d live out of the pack on my back for days on end while doing multiple outdoor sports. There was no time for fumbling around for a compass, climbing harness, or rain shell—I needed to grab what I needed off my back quickly and efficiently. I also needed the pack to be lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, no matter what I was doing (camel riding, anyone?). I don’t race these days, but I’m no less picky about packs.A group of day hikers testing day hiking packs…

Published July 7, 2026 11:53AMLast weekend when I was camping the wind picked up and a thick cloud of wildfire smoke blew in. The sky turned orange and my dog started sneezing. By the time I went to bed, I felt like I was breathing through a barbecue. Smoky camping and hiking trips have become a more and more frequent experience in the West. While dealing with wildfire smoke is unpleasant and can be hazardous to health, I felt grateful that I wasn’t camping in the path of the half-dozen wildfires that broke out in Colorado during the last weekend…

Published July 7, 2026 05:37PM“TRAIL CLOSED,” declared a half-dozen signs.I was mountain biking through rolling badlands when I unwittingly coasted past a security perimeter. Earlier that afternoon, my wife and I had ridden the fun Maah Daah Hey Trail south from Medora, through grassy hills broken by layered cliffs. She stopped for a break at a scenic highpoint, offering views of the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (TRPL) complex, where we’d soon enjoy a sneak preview. Meanwhile, I plunged downhill into a narrow valley where I encountered a Forest Service ranger and a plainclothes official closing the trail. Fortunately, my…
