Planning summer travel is hard. Planning it for a busy family, visiting multiple destinations with three little kids in tow, can feel downright impossible. I’m a professional news and travel photographer, so I need to plan a lot of trips with my wife and our three boys. I’m also an AI expert with a Cog Sci degree from Johns Hopkins, and a decade of experience in the field. So naturally, I decided to combine those two passions. To that end, I built an AI digital twin of my family, which uses multiple rounds of simulation and advanced agentic AI to…

I’m a process fiend. But most of the time, the “how this works” knowledge exists only in my head. As a solo business owner, this was mostly fine… until I needed to collaborate with other people. Most solopreneurs treat process documentation as a someday task. There’s always something more pressing—like a client deadline, invoices to send, or a proposal to send. Plus, writing documentation isn’t exactly the most exciting task. Certainly not a revenue-generating one.  But odds are, at some point, you’ll be looking for outside support. Whether it’s a bookkeeper, a social media manager, a virtual assistant, or some…

Every news cycle seems to bring reports of another fast food chain closing down stores, and this week is no exception. Three Dairy Queen stores have suddenly shuttered this month in Alaska, according to the Anchorage Daily News. “The franchise owner of the Anchorage, Wasilla and Palmer locations recently closed them,” a Dairy Queen representative told the publication. This follows over 40 locations closing across Texas in early 2025, in large part to a remodeling disagreement between Dairy Queen and franchisee Project Lonestar. While Texas still appears to have over 500 locations, the recent closures leave Alaska with just one…

While two of the best-known AI companies have yet to make their market debuts—namely Anthropic and OpenAI—2026 has already seen numerous AI-related IPOs, including Elon Musk’s SpaceX and the commercial AI semiconductor maker Cerebras Systems. Today, another company joins those ranks. The Korean memory semiconductor giant SK Hynix is going public in the United States, offering American investors the chance to buy shares in a firm that has benefited immensely from the AI infrastructure boom. SK Hynix, a rival to Samsung, has seen demand for its products soar amid the ongoing AI-fueled memory shortage. Here’s what you need to know…

One of my clients recently had to make a difficult hiring decision while interviewing a talented candidate from another team. As every senior leader knows, the politics of what can be perceived as poaching top talent can get prickly fast. She thought carefully about her values and let them guide how she approached these interviews. Then she found out someone was unhappy with her approach. As a self-admitted people pleaser, this bothered her. She brought it to me, rehashed the situation, and asked, “What advice do you have for me? How should I have handled this differently?” As an executive…

Meta says its AI glasses are an “assistant that understands the world from your perspective.” Critics say they’re “even more privacy invasive than you think.” One thing both parties can agree upon, though, is that these smart glasses are a technology that has attracted all manner of controversy. Since the 2023 release of the Ray-Ban Meta, these smart lenses have divided people. Evangelists praise the ability to take photos and videos without having to dig out their phone, as well as the navigational assistance. Opponents point to the company’s less than impressive track record with privacy and say the glasses…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Agentic commerce is where AI agents act as autonomous shopping assistants, handling the entire purchase journey on behalf of a consumer. Some of the biggest retailers — Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Macy’s, Lowe’s, even Amazon — are implementing AI agents in some way. Small and medium-sized businesses need to, too. There’s a term making the rounds in ecommerce circles right now that a lot of business owners are nodding along to without fully understanding, and that term is agentic commerce. If you’ve heard it and moved on, this is your…

Canada’s latest defence procurement is becoming impossible to ignore. The CBC reports that Ottawa is now looking beyond simply purchasing Saab’s GlobalEye airborne early warning aircraft. NATO itself has now selected the same Swedish system to replace its aging Boeing E-3 AWACS fleet, making GlobalEye the alliance’s future airborne surveillance platform. This is no small contract. NATO intends to acquire up to 10 aircraft in a program worth roughly $4.5 billion, while Canada is expected to purchase six of its own. The significance extends well beyond military hardware. It represents another major boost for Canada’s aerospace industry and another step…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Diaspora citizenship is becoming a powerful way for countries to strengthen economic growth, attract investment and build lasting ties with people connected to their heritage. When done thoughtfully, diaspora citizenship can transform cultural connections into long-term economic opportunities for both nations and entrepreneurs. For many years, citizenship was seen as a legal identity. It told the world where a person belonged. Today, some countries are also treating citizenship as an economic tool. They are using nationality law to reconnect with people whose families left long ago. This is called diaspora…
