It's a new year! Business Insider is already working on this initiative.
We have always been a place for innovators, and the advent of AI is creating a renaissance for entrepreneurs from all walks of life. It led to entirely new industries, from legal AI to chatbot training to vibe coding to the data center boom. Everyone learns as they go. We're here to help you generate ideas, exchange notes, and become smarter. Record your highs and lows. Of course there will be both.
At large enterprises, leaders will likely consider which AI experiments are delivering what benefits at what cost. How quickly AI contributes to a company's bottom line will determine whether the market is in a bubble. Our new First Trade newsletter tells you more about that.
AI is a big topic on Wall Street, but it's much more than that. The past year has shown that a fundamental assumption about American capitalism, one that emphasizes the idea of ”long-term stocks” that has proven to be sound for investors, is fraying. There is increasing focus on international markets, especially as European rearmament and AI become global tailwinds.
With Washington's business investments, Zoran Mamdani's rise of the country's financial capital, and surveys showing declining faith in capitalism, that mindset is no longer the norm it once was. This week we're launching a series called “The Future of Capitalism” and what it means for your work and wealth. Take the survey and see the first piece on Monday!
Meanwhile, capitalism is alive and well in the workplace. The “anti-woke workplace” is becoming more and more popular, helping many managers navigate an era of rapid change that places more emphasis on employee performance than on employee policy.
Our side hustle obsessions are still full-time jobs for us, including real estate, brand influence, driving Uber, and renting clothes. And as our report last year showed, a strong side hustle isn't just fun, it can be extremely important if you're hit by a white-collar layoff.
Speaking of clothing, you've made it clear that how you behave is important to your success at work. We're looking at the cost and whether that cost is too high for our wallets and hearts. We also cover style and status, from eye-catching golf shirts and luxury handbags to trending hoodies, coveted watches and Wall Street-favorite $1,100 shoes.
That means we're committed to covering everything that's coming your way, in words, video, audio, newsletters, online and IRL events, and in any way that works for you. As always, keep in touch! Email us at eic@businessinsider.com.
