Who is pointing out your blind spots?

“I don’t understand. The deal was moving forward. My team’s reports said we were on track. I had lunch with their CEO last month, and everything felt solid.” Andy was talking about a client who had just walked away from a major deal his team had been reporting as “progressing well” for months. He believed the relationship was strong based on all the status meetings, as well as a lunch he’d hosted where the client had been cordial and talked about the future. As Andy’s executive coach, I helped him reflect on what had unfolded, and he realized that the warning signs had been there all

Why stability might be the smartest career move right now

Employees today are stressed, angry and sad, and they’re experiencing these emotions more than even before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Gallup .

With everything feeling so stressful and uncertain, chances are you’re prioritizing stability in your career. And while we value learning, ambition, and going places, it’s also wise to find the balance that allows you to dig in and establish a solid sense of security amid all the turmoil. Plenty of

Cards Against Humanity has a $10 plan to annoy Elon Musk

Elon Musk does not shy away from bizarre conflict: He dared Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight that never materialized, publicly feuded with President Trump after a monthslong public friendship, and even challenged Vladimir Putin to “ single combat .” But Musk’s most recent opponent is neither a world leader nor a major tech figure. It’s the irreverent popular game Cards Against Humanity. The conflict surrounds Starbase , a community in the Rio Grande Valley built as a launchpad for Musk’s SpaceX rockets as well as a residential area for the company’s employees. As of 2025, the ci

First-time homebuyers could soon get a new way to find $35,000 for a down payment

Trump’s new savings accounts for kids just went live last month, but they’re not the only interesting investment change in the mix this year. With a new bipartisan bill known as the First-Time Homebuyer Empowerment Act, lawmakers want to allow first-time homebuyers to tap into a portion of their college savings accounts for a down payment. Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet and Ohio Republican Jon Husted introduced the bill in the Senate earlier this month. If passed, it could give some families looking to afford a home a big boost—but that’s a big if. If it becomes law, the First-

Tesla says a flying car is coming. BYD already has one that makes sense

Elon Musk is reportedly going to launch a “flying car.” Not a flying taxi like those oversized drones that want to take rich people from Manhattan to JFK laughing at us peasants traveling in regular cabs. Not another old Tesla Roadster mounted atop a Falcon 9. No. This will be a next-generation Tesla Roadster that can fly on its own using cold gas thrusters developed by SpaceX. Like Nick Fury’s flying car . For the umpteenth time, Musk will try to overexcite fans and Tesla bulls with yet another epic announcement, demoing this fantastic car this month, sources tell T

This designer was tired of being ghosted by employers. Now he’s sending them ‘unhinged’ résumés

Between companies ghosting job applicants and companies advertising ghost jobs that don’t exist, it can feel harder than ever to find a job. And so job seekers trying to land a new role will sometimes do just about anything to try to grab an employer’s attention. While some applicants might send in a curated portfolio of accomplishments, a personalized cover letter, or a direct message to anyone who will listen via LinkedIn, one Melbourne-based designer, Felix Toohey, is taking a more dramatic approach. The Australian hand-delivers his CV directly to companies he is int

Trump’s $400 million ballroom fight reveals what’s really being built beneath the White House

After President Donald Trump’s plan to build a lavish ballroom next to the White House hit a major roadblock, the president is asking the highest court in the land to give his construction the green light once again. On Friday, the Trump administration sent an emergency filing to the Supreme Court claiming that a mandated freeze on the ballroom’s construction amounts to a national security threat. If the Supreme Court doesn’t intervene, August 21 is the last day that the project—very much underway in the chaos where the East Wing once stood—can continue.  In the filing , U.S.
