So far, I'm succeeding: In 2023, I averaged 10,632 steps a day, or just over 5 miles. But walking a lot can still improve your well-being: Just 4,000 steps per day reduces your risk of "all-cause mortality," according to a recent study. Certified nutritionist and longevity expert Michiko Tomioka, who herself aims for 10,000 steps a day, says that's "the most effective way [to get exercise]: Just take a walk." But to keep my body from complaining, I've had to invest in durable, supportive shoes, and quality doesn't come cheap. Hitting 10,000 steps requires being intentional—and creativeOn weekends, I may take my kids with me as I wander, or my husband, or my neighbors and proto-friends.

Thursday, the NFL quarterback was back on McAfee's ESPN show, commenting on Patriots coach Bill Belichick's departure . But that doesn't really matter.

CNN —Aaron Rodgers is done as a guest on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show for the remainder of the NFL season. “So ‘Aaron Rodgers Tuesday,’ season four, is done,” McAfee told his audience. The way it ended, it got real loud.”A person familiar with the matter told CNN that the decision to end Rodgers’ regular Tuesday appearances was due to his recent behavior, not the conclusion of the regular NFL season. During the previous two NFL seasons, Rodgers appeared on McAfee’s program as late as March. Rodgers’ remark about Kimmel prompted backlash not only because it was unproven and laced with innuendo but because McAfee permitted him to make the remarks on ESPN.

Disney's Bob Iger got out of a jam with two of his biggest stars: Jimmy Kimmel and Pat McAfee. AdvertisementThere aren't a lot of media moguls who could get out of a jam involving two of their biggest stars and accusations of pedophilia. It's unclear when McAfee intends to bring Rodgers back or if he ever will; ESPN reps declined to comment. One of the reasons is that while Disney and ESPN are reported to be paying McAfee $85 million over five years to bring his daily talk show to ESPN, McAfee isn't a Disney employee. And certainly not one about one of ESPN's biggest stars, who's supposed to represent its path to the future.

Gen Z will make up a larger portion of the U.S. workforce than Baby Boomers for the first time next year, according to a recent Glassdoor trend forecast report — and it's a big deal, says an economist. The looming change in demographics will have "pretty sweeping implications for what employers prioritize," Glassdoor chief economist Aaron Terrazas tells CNBC Make It. They are being replaced by very different people who prioritize different expectations around work." Gen Zers, aged 12 to 27 next year, are increasingly graduating school and joining the workforce. Eventually, Gen Z will overtake Gen X too — but it'll be "a long time before they overtake millennials," says Terrazas, because millennials outnumber all other generations in the United States so far.
