Key Takeaways Meta’s former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, told Gen Z graduates in a recent commencement speech to abandon rigid 10-year career plans. Instead of a detailed roadmap, she says young people need two things: a clear short-term direction and a broader long-term dream for the life they want. She warned that overplanning can backfire, causing graduates to miss unexpected opportunities. Sheryl Sandberg says that the traditional advice to choose a job, map each promotion and plot out where you will be in 10 years no longer fits today’s world. The former chief operating officer of Meta recently told…

In the world of I Love Boosters, color reigns supreme. The new film from writer-director Boots Riley follows a group of boosters—shoplifters who resell their stolen clothes—led by aspiring fashion designer Corvette (Keke Palmer). They run amok in a surrealist, color-blocked version of San Francisco, wreaking havoc on a chain of department stores where each location is entirely monochrome. “Color is so key, because it helps create worlds,” Shirley Kurata, I Love Boosters‘ costume designer, tells Fast Company. The Oscar-nominated costume designer keeps finding herself depicting the multiverse: For the Best Picture-winning 2022 movie Everything Everywhere All at Once, she…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Most companies treat resilience as something you demonstrate in a crisis. In reality, by the time a crisis arrives, the outcome is already in motion. Systems, leadership and culture are either built for pressure — or they are not.

Here is what they do differently.They design for flexibility — not just efficiencyLeadership teams often say they value adaptability, but…

The Mandalorian and GroguCredit: LucasfilmPerhaps it’s just a matter of expectations. I went into The Mandalorian and Grogu with mine set accordingly. Star Wars has been the very definition of a mixed bag over the past three decades or so, and I’m used to disappointment. Nevertheless, I walked out of this movie with a big grin on my face. Unlike Season 3 of The Mandalorian, The Mandalorian and Grogu is a delightful, action-packed, often hilarious little space Western.Critics have been harsh, unfortunately. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has a 63% aggregated score, ahead of just four other Star Wars films:…

Black Rifle Coffee Company is marking Memorial Day with a project that’s a lot heavier than your average holiday promo. The veteran-founded coffee brand, launched in 2014, has grown into a nationally recognized company built around serving great coffee and supporting veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. This year, co-founder and former Army Ranger Mat Best released “Folded Flag,” an original song and music video that pays tribute to fallen service members and the Gold Star families who live with that loss every day.

Walmart issued a weaker-than-expected outlook for the current quarter and year, sending shares down 7%. CFO John David Rainey said high tax refunds may have cushioned the blow from soaring gas prices in the first quarter, but that protection is gone now. “Consumers are going to feel more of that pressure from higher fuel prices,” Rainey told CNBC. One alarming sign is that customers are pumping less than 10 gallons when they fill up at Walmart gas stations for the first time since 2022, which Rainey called an “indication of stress.” The company is seeing what Rainey described as a…
