Key Takeaways When Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff took over the dating giant last February, he asked about the company’s internship program — only to be told that the previous CEO canceled it. This year, Rascoff decided to bring back Tinder’s summer internship program — and it was immediately popular. More than 30,000 Gen Z candidates applied for 27 seats, giving the internship a 0.09% acceptance rate. Gen Z is facing a tough job market as companies cut staff and entry-level positions disappear. In this landscape, Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff is taking a different approach and doubling down on…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Many websites underperform not because of poor visual design, but because they are passive. They present information instead of guiding users toward action or reassurance. The traditional “brochure-style” website model is outdated. Attention is shorter now, so sites must quickly communicate relevance, value and trust rather than waiting for users to read and decide. Improving performance is less about visible improvements or traffic; it’s more about clarity — defining what the business is trying to say, who it’s trying to reach and what should happen once someone arrives. Most companies…
Shark Tank’s Mr. Wonderful didn’t expect this level of resistance when he pitched his $100 billion AI data center to rural Utah. But hundreds showed up to protest the project’s approval, saying it’s not so wonderful. Kevin O’Leary’s “Stratos Project” received unanimous approval from Box Elder County commissioners on Monday despite fierce opposition. The plan calls for a 9-gigawatt AI data center and natural gas plant on a 40,000-acre campus in northwest Utah — a facility that would consume more than double the energy the entire state uses in a year. O’Leary says the project will create 10,000 construction jobs…

McDonald’s value menu is adding value to franchisees. QSR Magazine reports that the burger giant’s U.S. same-store sales rose 3.9 percent in Q1, maintaining market share and outperforming competitors while much of the quick-service industry navigates soft traffic trends. The secret has been a disciplined value strategy that’s resonating with budget-conscious customers. McDonald’s introduced the Extra Value Meals program in September 2025, featuring items under $3, alongside a $4 breakfast meal deal. The Value Meals have been so successful that corporate support to franchisees is expected to come in below the initial estimate of approximately $35 million. “We’ve accomplished our…
Naomi Osaka once believed that winning meant saying yes to everything. Over the years of her successful tennis career, though, the four-time Grand Slam champion says that doesn’t ring true anymore. As the new ambassador for vitamin and supplement company Olly’s Mental Health Awareness Month campaign, Osaka got candid about setting boundaries, pushing through fatigue and the success myth she used to believe. “I used to think success meant saying yes to everything that came with it,” Osaka wrote in a personal essay for Fortune. “Now I see it differently. I’ve been able to achieve what I have by holding…
In the United States, we recognize a separation between church and state, but does that delineation apply to work, too? That’s an earnest question from a self-identifying choirboy—literally, I grew up in church and I direct the choir—who has been asked throughout my career to leave religion out of my work. Do we need the Jesus reference in the deck? Do I have to use Bible scripture in that essay? Is the religious example in the class lecture necessary? It’s almost always polite but definitely unambiguous: ease up on the religious stuff because it likely doesn’t have a place here…

In our 2026 Performance Marketing survey with Harris Poll, we asked more than 300 marketing decision-makers about the trends and investments they predicted for 2026. The biggest takeaway—75% report increased expectations for accountability. And nearly two-thirds say leaders now evaluate them based on pipeline contribution rather than traditional top-of-funnel metrics like lead volume. For years, marketers have argued for a more meaningful seat at the revenue table, one that is measured on business outcomes instead of activity. That shift is happening. Leaders are asking marketing teams to deliver revenue outcomes without giving them the visibility to understand, prove, or optimize…
