Melisse Shaban has spent two decades watching science, biotech and consumer behavior slowly converge, and believes the beauty industry is finally ready for a new question: not how young can skin look tomorrow, but how well can it function for decades? That question sits at the center of Aramore, the performance skincare brand Shaban leads as CEO. Built around NAD+ precursor science, Aramore is positioned as a topical delivery system designed to support cellular skin health rather than chase the traditional language of anti-aging.

Key Takeaways Two years ago, Darrick Ramsey and Alexis Jordan were given a challenge: Turn $1 into $100 in a week using all of the resources at their disposal. Jordan surpassed the goal by providing cleaning work for local small businesses and creating an in-demand snack. Ramsey offered pressure washing and car detailing services and ended up making $2,065 in a week. When Darrick Ramsey first held the single dollar bill he’d been given, anxiety hit him hard. “I was very nervous, like I was anxious,” he recalls in an interview with Entrepreneur. Alexis Jordan had a similar reaction: “For…
QUESTION: You previously stated that the 2020 election was rigged by the Neocons, and that they attempted the same in 2024 but failed due to a Panic Cycle and Directional Change. I’m now noticing what appears to be another Panic Cycle forming around the 2026 election. Looking further ahead, you’ve mentioned that 2028 could be extremely volatile, potentially to the point where an election may not even occur. Do you have any updated perspective on this timeline? Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Merrick Garland REPLY: If we look at the 2020 election objectively, it was clearly rigged for the Neocons,…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Some of the most successful brands today aren’t winning because they reach the most people. They’re winning because they’ve created communities people genuinely want to be part of. When consumers feel like they’re part of something, they become emotionally invested, follow launches closely, share products with friends, create content on your behalf and become advocates rather than simply buyers. As AI makes content easier than ever to create, connection — not attention — is quickly becoming the most valuable asset a business can have. When I started my career in…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most entrepreneurs build businesses that create income but not enterprise value. To scale your business into a true asset, you must understand the three phases of business ownership: Build, scale, dominate. Building is the stage where entrepreneurs learn how to sell. Scaling is the transition from operator to owner. Domination means becoming the obvious choice for a specific market. Most business owners focus on building. Some learn how to scale. Very few reach the point where their market actively seeks them out (domination). Most entrepreneurs never fail. They simply stop…

Key Takeaways Alexander invested $500 to learn the ins and outs of being a verified reseller online. He saw $10,000 in sales in month one, then $150,000 within 10 months.

Total social media bans for young people are popping up around the world, but a new policy out of the U.K. is taking a different approach for older teenagers. On Wednesday, July 15, the U.K. government announced social media curfews and content restrictions for 16- and 17-year-olds.

The proposal, put forward by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), would switch off this age group’s access to social media apps from midnight to 6 a.m. daily. It would…
You’ve probably noticed: The weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable. And you don’t have to look far to see the effects, considering the massive heatwave now hitting much of the United States and Europe. As result, a new trend called “weathermaxxing” is emerging, in which travelers are planning vacations not based solely on the destination—but around the forecast. In fact, a new report from Sensible Weather—the leading weather protection provider for the travel and hospitality industry—finds American travelers cite weather as the second most important factor when booking a vacation, after cost. (The survey polled 600 U.S. leisure travelers.) One example…
