Shaifali Aggarwal is a Harvard Business School graduate and CEO of an MBA admissions consulting company. Going to a top business school was a dream of mine, which was solidified while working in investment banking after college.

The anise-flavored liquor is one of the oldest spirits in the world. He noted that it’s still common for Middle Eastern restaurants to stock European wines rather than traditional spirits like arak. He was experimenting to refine the production of al-kohl, a traditional form of eyeliner, according to Arak Muaddi, a Palestinian craft distillery. Nader Muaddi, the founder of Arak Muaddi, explained that producing arak starts with creating wine. The Middle East has “a very rich history of making wine and spirits, and it’s about time that we share it with the world,” Muaddi went on.

Some billionaires rocketed into space as Branson and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have. Other rich travelers journeyed on a submersible to explore the wreckage of the ocean liner Titanic. For $250,000 to $300,000 a trip, Kent sometimes fields unusual requests including helping a Saudi prince fulfill his dream of flying a plane onto and off of an aircraft carrier. The experience was so demanding that Ackman's father expressed concern about the intended trip, not for his son but for another fund manager who had signed up to go. One person familiar with that excursion said it probably wouldn't happen again, in part because it was such a potentially risky undertaking.

To find out how to make the most of downtime during work travel, Insider spoke to four experts about how they maximize their commutes. Voiceover artist Vanessa James said, "I use lounge access as a strategic part of my travels. If you don't have airport lounge access, buying a day pass is a good option if your wait time is going to be long. Business law professor Robert Bird says he doesn't opt for lounge access when he travels, and he only needs a quiet corner to be productive. Long car rides with colleagues to a work event or conference can also be a good time to brainstorm or collaborate.

Dozens of companies are using AI tools to enhance their marketing strategies, a Bynder study found. Clients are also using AI to optimize their content, improve spelling and grammar, and paraphrase information, according to the study. As a result, marketing teams have gotten the tech to brainstorm ideas, come up with grabby hooks, and complete research tasks. Marketing teams are even deploying AI by having the tech repurpose content and develop the voice of their companies' brand. High-level executives agree that AI can boost a marketing team's bottom line.

Other experts say buyers purchasing mortgage points can be a great strategy for the right situation. Being able to lower that monthly payment can really help give some more wiggle room in people's budgets and help them reach affordability. "Being able to lower that monthly payment can really help give some more wiggle room in people's budgets and help them reach affordability," Bachaud said. In addition to higher upfront costs, home buyers should also weigh other factors before buying mortgage points. But putting those sums toward a down payment likely will not make much of a difference on your monthly costs, Elliott said.

The impact of artificial intelligence on Wall Street has plenty of people concerned, but some financial advisors fear a much more sinister opponent. Financial advisors are right to be concerned. A 2022 survey found Gen Z was more likely to seek out financial advice from TikTok (34%) and YouTube (33%) than a financial advisor (24%). Couple that with their often obsessive consumption of social media, and you start to see why financial advisors never had a fighting chance. More on why advisors are worried about young people turning to TikTok for help with their finances.

Brian and Lisa Sugar, the married founders of PopSugar, have raised a second venture capital fund. The $33 million fund will invest in consumer brands and software powering the future of retail. The eponymous firm, Sugar Capital, began to raise the sophomore fund a year ago and closed in May, Brian Sugar told Insider. For her part, Lisa stepped back from managing PopSugar in 2021 and joined Sugar Capital as a partner in 2022. Sugar Capital set out to raise $75 million for its second fund and reduced the target size last summer, Sugar said.

And our health as a society and species depends on sustaining it, no matter how sleek the goggles get. There are two possible futures for the virtual reality headset. Obviously, Apple, Meta and Google are all invested in the second future. So the clear goal of this competition is a future where the Vision Pro or the next Meta headset or some other competitor locks down an iPhone-level market, not just a boutique clientele. Back when Google Glass debuted, one could already foresee where the augmented or virtual reality experience would take humanity — toward deepened isolation, depressive solipsism, masturbatory anomie.

Achieving that goal now can be challenging, with home prices still elevated and higher interest rates pushing mortgage costs higher, said Elliott, who is a member of CNBC's Financial Advisor Council. You should also work on improving your credit score, which will put you in the best possible position to get a good rate on your mortgage, Elliott said. Anticipate unexpected homeownership costsOne of the benefits of buying versus renting a home is the ability to have fixed costs, Elliott said. Look for flexibility on your purchaseThough home prices and interest rates are high, there are still possible ways prospective homebuyers can cut costs. By getting a shorter-term mortgage — say, for 15 years instead of 30 years — borrowers may access lower interest rates.

The mysterious disappearance of Bao has sent a chill through financial markets and China’s tech sector. Shares in China Renaissance had plunged more than 20% until they were suspended from trading in early April. China Renaissance had previously revealed only that Bao was “cooperating in an investigation” being carried out by certain authorities in the country. The specific agencies handling Bao’s case include the CCDI’s international cooperation bureau and Beijing’s municipal anti-graft authorities, the Economic Observer said. Cong has been detained by anti-corruption authorities since September for matters related to his tenure at ICBC Financial Leasing, the Economic Observer said.

As if all that wasn't enough, the leadership at Goldman Sachs had another cross to bear on Tuesday: two of its high-profile partners exiting the bank.

Wall Street's succession summer
  + stars: | 2023-05-30 | by ( Kaja Whitehouse | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
But first, it's the summer of succession — and no, we're not talking about the TV show. Wall Street CEOs pretend that succession planning is another chore, like hashing out the annual budget or organizing an earnings call. But behind the boring press announcing their succession plans is often a story of intrigue and drama. And then, of course, there's Jamie Dimon, Wall Street's longest-serving CEO. Earlier this week, Insider highlighted 17 young analysts poised to shine.
They may not reflect current holdings, as fund managers may have added or sold shares since then. Many investors have piled in to the chipmaker that has quickly become one of the biggest winners of the AI boom. In the previous quarter, Nvidia was not part of GQG's portfolio. Among prominent investors who sold Nvidia's shares before its recent jump is ARK Invest. California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) sold roughly 1 million shares in Nvidia, but remained with about $1.2 billion in shares in the first quarter.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has a take that might surprise you. Succession plans for the unofficial face of Wall Street have long been speculated on. One of the biggest issues we see on Wall Street, or in business more broadly, is an executive not knowing when to cut ties. Want to know what a Wall Street hiring raid looks like? Here's Wall Street's plan if the US defaults on its debt.
