The world is facing a stored energy shortage. According to the International Energy Agency, the world needs to produce 10,000 gigawatt-hours of batteries and other forms of energy storage by 2040 — that’s a 50-fold increase on today’s current output — or risk being unable to capture much of the energy produced by renewable sources. Stored energy is critical during shortages, like those caused by natural disasters.
For over a hundred years, hydroelectric dams provided much of this stored energy — energy captured at one time and stored in the grid to be used at a later point. There are…
The “Home of the Whopper” just had its first major redesign in 20 years, and it somehow manages to both effortlessly play to customer nostalgia while embracing new digital-first design trends. On January 7, Burger King announced that it had made sweeping changes to its brand, from its logo and packaging to its menus, merchandise, and decor, right down to its social media, leaving not a single burger unflipped. It plans to launch this updated imagery worldwide over the next few years.
The company is seeking a more natural, old-fashioned look, with minimal noise and colors like red, brown, and…
For most of my working life, I’ve earned very little money. Not because I didn’t work hard enough — I’ve done more than my fair share of long days and nights — but because I chose to start a business and build something from nothing.
And for many months of that journey, I was rewarded with poor returns for my dedication. Worse still, there were many months where I earned zero. Despite what the internet may tell you, this is the financial reality for many entrepreneurs.
Sure, there are silver linings to be gained from living with little; excellent money…
Over the years, I’ve had my work featured in many top-level sites and publications, like Business Insider, Thought Catalog, Forge, Marker, and many more. Getting your work featured in prestigious websites and blogs does two things; it puts your work in front of a new audience with the potential to lead to new connections and relationships, and it increases your authority within the space you write in.
Both of these are essential if you want to move from hobby writer to professional.
But how do you successfully pitch to an editor or publication?
I’ll level with you. No matter what…

Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd has entered into a rarefied club of self-made female billionaires after the company enjoyed an IPO that closed up 63% on its trading debut on February 11th. According to Forbes, Herd is also the youngest to achieve the feat.
But more than being a beacon of hope for female founders, the successful public offering proves that dating apps, in all their variations and niches, have staying power. The pandemic has resulted in new dating trends becoming permanently seared into people’s habits, and they look set to remain long after it’s over. This will likely result…

Digital decluttering is a self-help must-do and one that, for the most part, I’ve failed miserably at. I’m the kind of person whose computer desktop is the digital equivalent of picking up a stack of papers and throwing them everywhere. I regularly waste time scrambling through it when I need to find that one important document among the various screenshots, downloads, and copious files named “untitled.”
Unsurprisingly, my phone was no different.
Thanks to ever-increasing storage availability, my iPhone had expanded into a several-app-page monstrosity, with no organization whatsoever. It was a mixture of apps, folders, and webpages—a full royal…
