Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Mental health is foundational and should be actively maintained rather than only addressed when it becomes problematic. To take a proactive approach, you should build non-negotiable structure into your day, control unnecessary inputs, get out and move, and create coping strategies that fit you. You should also find, discern and prioritize positive relationships. This could mean limiting your network to those who have proven to you they will be there when it matters. I always like to write an article that coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month to encourage people…

Wendy’s is hoping the third time is a charm. The burger chain named Bob Wright as its new CEO on Wednesday — its third leader in less than three years, according to CNBC. Wright, who led Potbelly through a post-pandemic turnaround before selling it to RaceTrac for $566 million last year, inherits a franchise that reported its fifth straight quarter of declining same-store sales and announced plans to close about 300 restaurants in the first half of this year. The leadership carousel has been tough. Kirk Tanner left after only 18 months to become CEO of Hershey. Before him, the…

More than 30 states across the country have had at least one case of someone sick with Salmonella so far in 2026. Many of those cases are believed to be caused by contact with outdoor poultry, like ducks and chickens. But separately, there’s also been a wave of food recalls for Salmonella contamination, tied to milk powder used in snack seasoning. Salmonella isn’t an uncommon bacteria; each year, the U.S. sees some 1.35 million Salmonella infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most of those stem from food. If it seems like Salmonella is becoming more…

Airport lounges have spent decades promising travelers the same thing: a quieter place to sit and wait. But a new concept opening next week inside Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport is betting that modern travelers, especially millennials who grew up gaming, want something far more immersive for their layover.

The lounge combines gaming, chef-driven food and drinks, immersive design, and interactive technology in an attempt to reimagine what travelers actually want from airport downtime. The opening represents a major…
It’s a good day to be an American quantum computing company—well, as long as you’re willing to give up some equity. Nine major firms are splitting $2 billion in grants from the Trump administration, the Wall Street Journal reports. In return, the government will take varying equity stakes in each of the companies. IBM will receive half the award, putting it toward a new IBM company called Anderon. IBM will match the grant with another $1 billion in cash for the Albany, New York-based standalone company. It’s an investment that IBM predicts will pay off in spades. “Anderon will operate…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons in the brainstem that functions as an attention filter. We tell the brain what to notice and where to focus by where we put our attention. If you focus on avoiding failure, for example, your brain surfaces evidence of failure and blinds you to opportunity. When we choose what we look for, we’re telling our RAS which specific bits are worth promoting to our awareness. The fix isn’t optimism or affirmations; it’s giving your RAS a different target — the…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways LLMs like ChatGPT will generate answers that sound authoritative but are completely wrong, if you don’t monitor it. You can make AI work for your business by using different prompts and implementing retrieval-augmented generation. Don’t forget to add guardrails and validation layers to maintain security and avoid touching sensitive data. This is the gap most companies don’t see coming. They spend months evaluating which large language model (LLM) to use (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini) and almost no time thinking about the infrastructure that will keep it running reliably. That’s the wrong…
