Kas Bordier sells her clients a vision of longer, healthier, and constantly measured lives—one that’s perfectly attuned to today’s optimized pursuit of health. As the founder of Mavi, a new architecture firm and consultancy, Bordier offers homeowners the option to measure their homes via a 24-hour, 129-point inspection that assesses a home “the way a longevity clinic reads your blood.” The firm’s wellness blueprint covers everything from water purity to decibel levels and carbon dioxide concentrations. “Developers want to show that better buildings are possible,” says Bordier, who has worked on homes in the U.K. and U.S. “But more importantly,…

The Trump administration has had plenty of targets in its sights in recent months. The newest are China’s cutting-edge AI models. Following the release of Kimi K3, the latest model from Moonshot AI, the White House is reportedly considering options that could effectively ban models like it, along with Alibaba’s Qwen model, the latest version of which was released just days after K3. It remains unclear what form such a ban would take, according to Axios. The U.S. Commerce Department has previously considered adding the laboratories behind leading Chinese models to its “Entity List,” which could prohibit Americans from possessing…
For the past two years, companies have been trying to add AI to their processes. That sounded reasonable at first. Existing workflows, existing systems, existing data, existing dashboards — now with intelligence attached. Add a copilot here, an agent there, a few automated steps, a model connected to some tools, and wait for productivity to rise. But this approach is starting to reveal its limit: The problem isn’t that AI can’t act. It increasingly can. The problem is that most companies don’t have a formal representation of what their actions mean. A company isn’t a pile of applications. It’s not a CRM,…
QUESTION: Martin, How does the richest man in the world not understand basic economics? Blog post? BT ANSWER: For the life of me, I believe this sort of thinking all stems from Karl Marx and this distorted idea that the object is to be taken care of by government and just lay around and watch TV that is intended to indoctrinate people. This sort of reasoning is against every basic foundation of civilization. AI and robots are incapable of original discovery for they cannot possess that human characteristic of curiosity. Elon Musk’s reasoning that AI and robots will make work optional…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The conventional response to a career stall is to add something to the resume, often a certification, a new skill set or a graduate credential. For entry-level roles and early-career moves, this makes sense, but for experienced professionals, it largely doesn’t. The most valuable opportunities later on in your career aren’t distributed through the systems where credentials get evaluated. They live somewhere else entirely: the “hidden market.” The “hidden market” includes everything from consulting engagements, advisory seats, board roles, speaking invitations, equity arrangements and income streams that together account for…
Vladimir Putin met with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui at the Kremlin after she delivered a personal message from Kim Jong Un reaffirming North Korea’s unconditional support for Russia. Moscow thanked Pyongyang for sending troops to assist Russian forces in Kursk and both governments pledged to deepen the strategic partnership signed last year. People continue to ask why Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran appear to be drawing closer together. They answer their own question without realizing it. Every sanction, every asset seizure, every attempt to isolate one country simply encourages it to build relationships with another. The…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Digital is where a brand gets decided, even when the purchase happens somewhere else. Only about a fifth of U.S. retail is ecommerce, but the screen is the one place a customer can reach a brand instantly. A brand that feels whole is the result of deliberate decisions on every surface, not an accident of taste. The brand experience gap is structural and technical. Templated platforms strip personality in the name of efficiency, and tools decide what the brand is allowed to be. For a challenger brand, a deliberately built…
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided to enter the realm of international diplomacy by threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he attend the United Nations General Assembly this September. Speaking to the New York Times, Mamdani called Netanyahu “a war criminal” and declared, “Netanyahu belongs in The Hague.” He said there is an “active conversation” between his administration, the NYPD, and city lawyers over whether they could detain the Israeli leader if he comes to New York. Mamdani added, “Whatever the law allows me to do in New York, we will do.” The International Criminal…
This week on How Success Happens, I sit down with Ronnen Harary, cofounder and chairman of Spin Master (think Air Hogs, Bakugan, PAW Patrol) and author of No Experience Necessary, a guide for twenty‑somethings trying to figure out their next (or first) move in business. Ronnen turned a learning disability, financial instability, and a $10,000 startup into a global kids’ entertainment powerhouse with a lot of grit and, as he explains, a little bit of naivety. “When you’re young,” he told me, “you don’t really know everything that you need to know.” But, he says, sometimes that’s actually a good…
One of the greatest lies in politics is that anyone who opposes excessive government regulation must therefore oppose government enforcement. Those are two entirely different issues. I have always argued that government has expanded into areas where it has no constitutional business while simultaneously abandoning the few responsibilities that actually justify its existence. Protecting the integrity of the nation’s food supply is one of those responsibilities. If Washington cannot ensure that Americans can buy a head of lettuce without wondering if it will send them to the hospital, then what exactly are taxpayers funding? CNBC reported that the FDA has…
