The streamer didn't market its kids content enough and didn't pay attention to what children like, insiders said. Netflix hasn't been alone in dialing back on kids animation. "They had these grand plans to make a ton of animation and were going to throw a lot of money at it," said a former Netflix animation exec. But they didn't understand kids and they didn't understand animation," said a separate high-level animation programming executive. Animated series offshoot "The Boss Baby: Back in Business" is technically a Netflix original as it premiered on the streamer.

Mairead Finlay moved to the Portuguese island of Madeira to be part of a "digital nomad" village.

That makes me fairly typical: A recent study estimated that 83% of the world's 35 million digital nomads worked for themselves, and 51% were marketers, developers, designers, writers, or in e-commerce. The next month, the digital-nomad village on the tropical Portuguese island of Madeira opened. Inside the village's co-work space for digital nomads.

Now I'm motivated to create a real plan towards real, long-term financial freedom. I used to think that being wealthy meant sacrificing my values, and this is just plain wrong.

This inward-looking approach to innovation has both pros and cons for banks:It ensures innovation comes from within the organization. Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:A failure to consider operating culture is already hurting banks' innovation projects.
