Apple’s incoming CEO John Ternus steps into the chief executive role in less than two months. He’s got some massive Tim Cook-sized shoes to fill. The outgoing CEO is leaving with Apple stock (Nasdaq: AAPL) currently near an all-time high of over $300 per share and a massive market cap of more than $4.5 trillion, largely driven by its stellar hardware products that are irresistible to consumers. Apple’s once-lauded software, however, has struggled in recent years. Ternus will need to make Apple competitive again on this front—an area where the company is increasingly lagging behind competitors. This weak spot is…

The house I currently live in was built on the outskirts of Milwaukee in 1941–which means it does not have central air-conditioning. In the ten years we’ve lived here, the lack of A/C has only bothered us for about two weeks every August. We can power through those hot, sticky days with window air conditioners in each of the three bedrooms, and before we know it, we’re back to complaining about the snow. But like many other parts of the world, our little corner of Wisconsin got unexpectedly toasty in late June and early July. Installing the window A/C units…
The epicenter of the tech boom will soon have a new luxe travel option for wealthy travelers keen to not mix with the masses. San Francisco International Airport plans to build a new terminal designated for the area’s many high-net-worth fliers, sorting out passengers who are willing to pay extra for a private area of their own. SFO is currently in the process of inviting bidders to submit proposals to develop, build, and operate the private airport terminal, which would serve as a parallel entry point for commercial flights. The goal is to provide a “private, luxurious, bespoke, and expedited…
Maison de Sabré has spent nearly a decade building a reputation for colorful, beautifully crafted leather handbags. But lately, the thing that makes people fall for the brand isn’t a bag at all—it’s the charms. Its newest collection features tiny, intricate leather flowers—cherry blossoms, sunflowers, and daisies—that clip onto a strap, adding a jolt of personality to an otherwise formal bag. There’s also a bumblebee and a snail to round out the garden themes. Last season’s collection included jewel-toned fruits and vegetables: snap peas, carrots, chilis, and mushrooms. A recent Pikachu capsule, timed to Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, sold out almost…
Want more housing market stories from Lance Lambert’s ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. During the pandemic housing boom, housing demand surged rapidly amid ultralow interest rates, stimulus, and the remote work boom—which increased demand for space and unlocked “WFH arbitrage” as high earners were able to keep their income from a job in, say, NYC or L.A., and buy in, say, Austin or Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Florida. Federal Reserve researchers estimate “new construction would have had to increase by roughly 300% to absorb the pandemic-era surge in demand.” Unlike housing demand, housing stock supply isn’t as…
Millions of Americans tap their smartphone screens daily to order rides, groceries, or dinner, hooked on the seamless convenience of the gig economy. Yet beneath this frictionless interface lies a brewing war. On one side, consumers are squeezed by volatile and erratic surge pricing, which adjusts to reflect spiking demand or dropping supply. On the other hand, gig workers face manipulative algorithmic payouts, erratic schedules, and the skyrocketing costs of keeping their cars on the road. For years, gig-economy executives have wielded the blunt instrument of surge pricing to manage their workforce. It treats human labor as a frictionless commodity.…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Citizenship has become an economic asset, not just a legal status. By extending the residency requirement from five years to 10 years (seven for Portuguese-speaking countries), Portugal hasn’t raised a financial barrier — it has raised a time barrier. Businesses should expect long-term mobility planning to become more important as countries tighten citizenship and residency rules. For years, Portugal occupied a unique position in the global mobility economy.While many countries tightened immigration rules and raised barriers to citizenship, Portugal became one of Europe’s most accessible destinations for entrepreneurs, investors, retirees,…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Revenue alone doesn’t define a good client—misaligned clients can drain your team’s morale, decision-making, and growth far more than the revenue they generate Sustainable growth comes from protecting your team’s capacity and culture by prioritizing client fit over short-term revenue and having the discipline to let the wrong clients go. On paper, our client looked like the ultimate win. They had scaled to 250 seats. They represented a substantial portion of our revenue, and the account was actively growing. By every traditional metric, this appeared to be a client worth…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. For years, the rule in text-to-speech has been simple. If you wanted the best-sounding voice for your product, you paid enterprise pricing. If you wanted cheap, you accepted robotic. If you wanted fast, you gave up something on both. That rule just broke. The trade-off every product team has been forced to make If you have ever built a voice agent, a phone system, or a real-time reader, you know the drill. You audition four or five models. One sounds incredible and costs more than your infrastructure. One is affordable and sounds…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The startups that scale and endure aren’t led by the fastest movers — they’re led by founders who know how to turn hard-won experience into sharper judgment and discipline. If you lack experience in a critical area, the fastest way to close the gap isn’t to learn it the hard way — it’s to bring in advisors, hires or board members who’ve already been down that road. Startup culture has, for years, promoted a narrow image of success: fast-moving founders, bold bets and the idea that you can figure things…
