Five years ago, I hit rock bottom.From the outside, my life looked like a highlight reel: scaling social enterprises, writing bestsellers, sharing stages with world-famous leaders. But behind the curtain, I was exhausted, angry, and disconnected.

Here’s a stat that should make every small business owner sit up: 76% of people who perform a local search on their smartphone visit a business within 24 hours, and 28% of those visits result in a purchase.That means when a customer searches for “best coffee near me” or “emergency plumber downtown,” the decision is often made in minutes — not days.Now add another layer: artificial intelligence.

In our increasingly digitally borderless world, the dream of international expansion is more accessible than ever for American entrepreneurs.

Yet, as U.S. small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) increasingly venture beyond borders, a significant yet often underestimated challenge emerges: currency volatility.From selling goods in Europe to sourcing materials from Asia, or managing a remote team spread across continents, operating internationally inherently means SMBs are engaging with different currencies. This…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. We’re trained to avoid failure like it’s a contagious disease.At school, failing wasn’t just about getting a bad grade — it was about getting labeled. If you didn’t pass, you weren’t just “behind,” you were branded. Pulled into extra classes, singled out in front of your peers and whispered about in the hallways. It can feel like public shame dressed up as education.When you grow up in that kind of system, what you learn fast is: Don’t mess up. Don’t take risks. Don’t give anyone a reason to think less of you.…

This week, Meta unveiled its latest attempt at its Connect developer conference: Meta Ray-Ban Display, a pair of smart glasses with an integrated screen that can show directions and texts, query Meta’s AI assistant, stream music, take photos, and even provide live captions to make conversations easier to follow. The device is notable for two reasons: Unlike earlier prototypes, Meta’s glasses look like actual glasses. And while competitors have built…
“I’ve done everything I can here,” Alex told me. “But every time I think about leaving, I feel a massive sense of guilt, like I’d be abandoning my team.” Alex is an executive vice president at a technology and manufacturing company, and she leads one of the highest-performing divisions in the company. But Alex is stuck. The founder is also the CEO, so there’s no clear path upward. She’s a respected and results-driven leader, and because she has a protective nature, she worries that leaving might mean that the business hands her team off to someone less impactful. A Gartner…
When Glean CEO Arvind Jain thinks about the future of work, he doesn’t picture a chatbot waiting for you to type a question. He imagines a digital companion that knows your goals, your meetings, even the documents you’re writing, and steps in to help before you ask.

Over time it has grown alongside AI itself, moving from simple search to synthesizing information, reasoning through tasks,…
If you don’t want tough love, talk to ChatGPT about your problems. Chatbots have a reputation for being yes-men. They flatter you and tell you what you want to hear, even when everyone else thinks you’re being a jerk. That’s the conclusion of a recent study published in the Cornell University archive arXiv. Researchers from Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Oxford tested chatbots’ sycophantic streak by putting them in situations where the user was clearly in the wrong and seeing whether the bots would call them out.
