DON'T MISS: The ultimate guide to negotiating a higher salary If you want to have a smooth transition into a satisfying retirement life, there are many questions you can ask yourself — chief among them, "Do I have enough money saved?" Be honest: Would you say work is what you do, or who you are? Now think about the aspects of your pre-retirement self you'd like to carry over into your retirement life in some way. If you can do that honestly, you're more likely to find a satisfying retirement on the other side.

AdvertisementOpenAI shifted away from being a nonprofit to attract more capital, says CEO Sam Altman. OpenAI needed more funding to scale its AI research efforts, he said in a recent interview. OpenAI's $6.6 billion funding round came with some strings attached: it has 2 years to become a for-profit entity. Altman said that scaling its AI models was a major factor in OpenAI's eventual move toward a profit system. Scaling AI models and providing the data centers and chips necessary to train them to be smarter than the previous interaction is highly expensive.

And to run the new cost-cutting department, Trump tapped the businessman he calls the world's "greatest cutter" — Elon Musk. If you're looking to take a chainsaw to the federal government, Musk seems perfectly suited to the job. When it comes to federal spending, one person's waste is another person's bread and butter. And his massive investments in electric vehicles and social media are dependent on all sorts of federal spending and oversight. Musk has acknowledged that Americans will feel "hardship" as a result of the cuts he wants to see implemented.

"It's gonna sound weird, but success for me was failing," she told CNBC Make It. But why failing can lead to better future outcomes is generally misunderstood, says Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School and author of "Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well." "There's one really important misconception about failing, which is that failure and mistake are the same thing," she says. If you're pursuing a new hobby or switching into a different role at work, know that failure is likely ahead. A productive failure meets four criteria, Edmondson says.

AdvertisementClimbing the corporate ladder was once the cornerstone of the American dream. Maybe that's why earlier this year, a young New Yorker struck a chord on TikTok when he vowed to "descend the corporate ladder." Eventually, he got promoted into a corporate office role, and that opened up even more opportunities for advancement. "That was a betrayal from a company I had been incredibly dedicated to," Zack told me. Besides, the dream of climbing the corporate ladder was probably never as great as it seemed to be.

Before Jeff Bezos molded Amazon into the world's most profitable online shopping platform, he launched zShops. Formerly called Amazon Auctions, the program allowed third-party sellers to list their products on Amazon. These efforts did, however, lead to the development of Amazon Marketplace, which houses 2.5 million third-party sellers. But not just any kind of failure — productive failure. A productive failure "taught you something about what the path looks like by saying, 'Hey, guess what?

To navigate this change — and maybe even new job requirements — Mark Cuban says you'll need to be curious, agile and adaptable. And yet, "it's a skill that can be rare to find," Joseph Fuller, a professor at Harvard Business School, recently told CNBC Make it. Honing these three soft skills — curiosity, agility and adaptability — will never stop paying dividends for your career, Cuban adds. "The skills you need for a job today, 10 years, 100 years from now, are always the same," he says. Sharpening your curiosity skills will help you come up with stronger solutions to work problems faster, she added.

Aetherflux aims to launch a constellation of satellites to transmit solar power to Earth using infrared lasers. Bhatt told BI why he's joining the commercial space race and what Robinhood taught him about capitalism. AdvertisementAetherflux aims to create a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) that will collect solar power and beam it down to receptors on Earth using infrared lasers. Caltech's president, Thomas F. Rosenbaum, said the project had shown them that solar power beamed from space "is still a future prospect" but that it "should be an achievable future." The science has already been demonstrated; it's just going to be an engineering and economic feat to prove it can be done from space, Bhatt said.

Employers might not ask if you have a degree, but many still care, a labor market expert told BI. AdvertisementDeming said many employers look upon a worker with a four-year degree as an investment — one that can be molded into what the firm wants. "What people are looking for, because it's the easiest and laziest filter, is a four-year degree from a 'good school,'" he said. "He's been the finalist for five different positions where they said, 'You're actually the best candidate we interviewed, but we require a four-year degree,'" Hyams said. Often, that might mean a four-year degree.

Tapping into people's passions can inspire emotional connections with consumers. In fact, our survey data identifies eight key roles that brands can play to either accelerate consumers' passions or alleviate their frustrations — one of which is fostering shared connections around their passions. A prime example of this is how Nike taps into peoples' passion for wellness, which is ranked the second highest among those we surveyed, while strengthening community bonds. Neuromarketing can derive an abundance of data-driven insights from study participants, allowing us to discern consumers' emotional associations with logos, messages, storylines, colors, and more. Inspiring an emotional response is an incredibly challenging task for marketers at a time when consumers feel bombarded by messages.

CNN —Taking care of an elderly parent or seriously ill spouse or family member can be physically and emotionally draining — and expensive for the caregiver in more ways than one. While employers have been expanding their benefits to help employees start families and more easily care for their children, they are now thinking more holistically about what it means to support employees’ family lives, including benefits for things like elder care, Izbicki said. Fuller constructed a return-on-investment model to assess the value of providing caregiving benefits. Given the high cost of replacing employees, reducing turnover can mean the cost of providing caregiving benefits will more than pay for itself. Protecting caregivers’ financesWorking caregivers navigate a lot: Finding doctors, heath care aides and assisted living facilities or nursing homes.
