Eric Schmidt said people have to make tradeoffs to succeed in tech. Flexible work, with days spent working from home, needs to be eliminated, says Google’s former CEO Eric Schmidt. Schmidt spoke on an episode of the “All-In” podcast, which aired on Wednesday. In the episode, Schmidt said that he was “not in favor of, essentially, working at home,” because it inhibits learning in junior employees. He mentioned that he learned from “elder people” while he was working at Sun Microsystems, a computer manufacturer purchased by Oracle in 2010 for $7.4 billion, by being in the office and listening to…

Research publisher MoffettNathanson wrote in a note obtained by Bloomberg on Thursday that though Alphabet isn’t the world’s largest company by market value, it is in the running for the “most valuable company in the world” based on AI strength. Alphabet’s “combination of market leadership, diversification and scale” makes the company “not only a winner in the…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Most entrepreneurs are familiar with the idea that a great product or service doesn’t always guarantee immediate success. That’s because the way people adopt innovation follows a pattern — a principle known as the Law of Diffusion of Innovation. It’s a framework that has been around since the 1960s, but it’s more relevant than ever in today’s hyper-competitive business environment. Having launched businesses in digital PR, luxury tourism and brand-building, I’ve seen firsthand how this law plays out and how ignoring it can lead to frustration and wasted resources. Here’s what every…

If you feel like your social media content isn’t getting the reach or engagement it once did, you’re not imagining things. In 2025, the algorithms are shifting faster than ever, attention spans are shorter, and even strong brands are struggling to keep eyes on their posts.…

Aldi is putting its name on nearly everything it sells. Aldi has been expanding in the U.S. over the last few years, making it America’s fastest-growing retailer, according to the Wall Street Journal. The German discount grocer is even adding another 200 stores by the end of 2025. And now its name will be everywhere, too. Aldi is “putting its name on every product and launching its first-ever namesake brand” so that it is more recognizable for shoppers, according to a press release on the company’s website. The company claims the move is in “direct response to customer feedback.” About…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Rushing to hire in a tight market often backfires, leading to costly turnover and wasted resources. Instead, slowing down to clarify the role, expand sourcing and prioritize alignment over perfection builds a stronger team and long-term hiring strategy. When the market is tight and great candidates are scarce, the temptation to “just fill the role” is real. You’ve got work piling up, a team stretched thin and clients or customers waiting. Unfortunately, rushing a hire almost always costs you more in the long run. From turnover and retraining to the…

Erin Elgin, Colleen O’Ferrall-Jones, R.L. Hunnicutt II, and Claudia Martinez Azzara live in entirely different parts of the country. They own franchises in wholly different industries. They come from completely different backgrounds, and they spend their days doing totally different things. Yet they are all among the top performers and sales earners in their franchise brands, in part because they all possess two core traits. First, they have a work ethic that compels them to do anything and everything that needs to be done — including the grunt work that others may avoid. Then, they combine that industriousness with a…
