Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Leaders need to understand the difference between AI and human productivity. AI is already being normalized in the workplace. Successfully pairing it with human workforces is the next step leaders should have on their radar. Leaders need to stop seeing the AI/human combination as a way to use computers to get “more.” Start seeing it as a way to use humans to make that “more” better. Everyone is in an unavoidable race to develop, deploy and integrate AI solutions that give their business operations an edge. The difficulty, at this…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Look for the skills and values that stay constant across every role you’ve held, because that core, not your title, is what carries you through a career disruption. Instead of deciding everything at once, run one small, low-stakes experiment, like a conversation or side project, to find clarity during a pivot. I nearly passed out at work before I admitted something was wrong. It wasn’t that I didn’t recognize my symptoms were serious. It was that leaving my career felt more dangerous than the health problems I was struggling with.…

Key Takeaways Gordon and Condon already believed in The Little Gym as parents looking for an athletic outlet for their children. The two investors enrolled their children in gymnastics classes before they decided to open franchise locations of their own. Now they own more than 30 locations of The Little Gym, with another 10-plus in development. Before Griffin Gordon and Kevin Condon owned dozens of The Little Gym locations, they were parents watching their children enjoy gymnastics classes at the franchise. Their kids were tumbling, running and leaving class asking to do it all again. As a customer, Gordon was…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Gift guides are built months before the holidays, so pitching in November is already too late. Paid or affiliate placements are advertising and should be measured by cost per sale, not logo value. Every year around this time, I get the same call from founders seeking whether a gift guide placement is possible. Usually, the answer is no. And that’s the first lesson. Gift guide season starts months before the holidays, when most brands are still thinking about summer. Editors are building their lists while you’re at the beach.But the…

Key Takeaways GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani says he won’t read work he believes was written by AI. Employees can use AI to clarify unfamiliar language, but he expects them to write their own narratives. He suspects AI use if he encounters unusually polished prose. Writing and editing are the most common uses of AI among U.S. workers. In Gallup’s May 2026 survey, 51% of workplace AI users said they used the technology for those purposes. Now the CEO of $15 billion GoDaddy, the world’s largest domain name provider, is pushing back against those popular use cases. In a new interview…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways We see students cram every achievement into their Personal Statements, practically begging to be admitted. Entrepreneurs do the same when they defend their fees, compare themselves to competitors or rattle off credentials. But the harder you sell, the less appealing you become. The secret isn’t saying more; it’s knowing when to stop talking, trusting your track record and letting your story speak for itself. Sometimes, the most persuasive sales pitch is no pitch at all. Every year at Ivy Coach, our college admissions counseling firm, we encounter a subset of…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Flattening removes layers, not leadership work. Before removing a management layer, you need to have an understanding of what the people in that layer do and who will take those tasks in their absence. Without clear authority, realistic workloads and adequate support, remaining managers risk becoming overwhelmed, leading to lower effectiveness and higher turnover. With fewer layers, companies must create growth opportunities deliberately — through observation and modeling, practice before full accountability, building judgment, coaching, people leadership and progressively broader assignments. If you’ve ever waited days for approval on something…

Their months of evaluation resulted in naming the Stellar Merino Base Top and Tights as the best overall base layer for men for its comfort and moisture management. Most versatile is the Flylow Hanmer Wool Baselayer Top for under $100. The base layer (aka long underwear or thermals) is both the literal and metaphorical foundation of a proper layering system. A wrong choice makes the whole system fall apart. If…
