Saying exactly what you think isn’t always the best career move. Social psychologist Vanessa Bohns recently said in an interview with NPR that knowing when to speak up and when to stay quiet can be more challenging than figuring out how to phrase your thoughts. “There are times when…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Founders in small ecosystems design for international markets from day one, planning for localization, payments and regulation before they need to. Scarcity forces discipline as founders who learn to operate lean and treat relationships as infrastructure are better prepared for market corrections and fundraising delays. Local knowledge is a competitive advantage. Silicon Valley teaches founders to think big. Smaller startup markets teach them how to build when almost nothing is guaranteed. Over the past year, I have met founders and investors across the Baltics, Georgia and Guatemala through Baltic Fintech…

After moving to San Diego in 2020, AJ Miller couldn’t find the East Coast-style pizza he grew up on, so he taught himself to make New Haven-style “apizza.” He sets his home oven to its 550-degree max, bakes on a heavy steel plate and finishes the pies under the broiler. “It took a couple years to really perfect my craft,” he told the California Post. He didn’t realize how much this craft would pay off. This past summer, Miller was laid off from his marketing job and had to scramble to make ends meet. He started Echo Apizza out of…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. After years of interviewing business owners, developers, and the like, I’ve paid attention to their audience growth and polished media kits, which have been substantial. I’ve also interviewed and discussed business with founders who are still commonly unknown. What I noticed after talking with them is that the most well-known, strongest founders were not the loudest people in the room. It’s the details, the specific information they know about their audience, finances, marketing, operations, etc. What I enjoyed most about this experience was that they admitted they were still learning. Most people…
Key Takeaways Logitech is giving all of its 7,000 employees a day off to play video games through its new “Logi Game Day” initiative.

Nothing physical changes hands. Yet the purchase has changed the experience for everyone watching. The interesting business question is not why someone would pay for something intangible. We already pay for concerts, games and experiences that end. It is what happens when a purchase becomes part of the experience itself, and when customers can influence what others see in real time. That shift creates a business model worth examining: monetizing participation,…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways People — especially driven, high achievers — often get sick after a stressful period ends, not during it, because stress hormones keep them going until things finally slow down. For many people, staying busy is how they avoid feeling the hard stuff — so rest can feel unsettling rather than relaxing, and success only increases the pressure to keep going. Check in with your nervous system a few times a day (not just when you’re falling apart), try calming your body down with bilateral stimulation, and spend more time with…
