The physical possessions we choose to own shape the direction of our lives more than we realize. Our possessions either help us fulfill our purpose, or they distract us from it. Every item in a home takes up space, demands attention, and requires care. The more we accumulate, the more we spend our time maintaining things rather than living life. Unfortunately, most of us were never taught to question this. Even worse, from a young age, we have been told that more is better—that success is measured by what we own, that happiness is found in the next purchase, that security is found in full closets, full garages, and full bank accounts. But deep down, we know we were designed for something bigger and better than physical possessions. And life is too short to waste chasing things that don’t matter. There is greater joy to be found in owning less than we can ever find pursuing more—because owning less frees us to live a more intentional and focused life. Sometimes, a single quote is all it takes to shift our entire perspective. Just one sentence can remind us of the freedom found in letting go. Sixteen years ago, my neighbor changed my entire life with a single sentence at just the right time. So whether you’re just beginning the journey to a clutter-free life or looking for encouragement to keep going, these quotes are here to help—because the right words, at the right time, can change everything. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. You’ll love owning less. The post 20 Quotes That Will Change the Way You See Your Stuff appeared first on Becoming Minimalist. View the full article

This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go… 1. Is swiping on a coworker on a dating app grounds for an HR meeting? Asking for a friend: They absent-mindedly swiped on a coworker in a dating app (whom they asked out once two years earlier). Said coworker was uncomfortable with that and went to HR, and they all had a sit-down about leaving said coworker alone. I am all for not harassing people you work with romantically, but I am also conflicted — is swiping right on a coworker on Bumble or Tinder grounds for an HR intervention? They are both on a dating app, after all — a place where you are opening up yourself to these kinds of interactions explicitly. And then the interaction has to be mutual anyway — both people need to “initiate” conversation here, without knowing if the other person has done so. (Apparently in this case their coworker was paying for premium rights to see who was swiping on them, and spoke with HR without initiating.) Dating apps also location-based, and so a lot of coworkers might show up there. Having worked at a 500-person office, I probably have swiped on several without realizing! A lot of people also use these by quickly swiping, not necessarily making a researched decision every time. I might be utterly off-base here, but I want to be sure not to alienate people I work with. What would be the correct etiquette here? This doesn’t sound like someone who reported a coworker to HR simply for swiping right on them on a dating app. Her perspective is likely that the coworker had already asked her out, she’d said no, now he’s making another overture, and they work together so it’s extra aggravating that he wasn’t respecting the original no. It could still have been overkill to involve HR — but so much of this depends on how he handled the original rejection and how he’s treated her since then. Related: I matched with a coworker on a dating site if you’re thinking of asking a coworker on a date… 2. Our bosses gave a perk to their spouses instead of to other employees Our company is very small, three joint owners and three employees. Our company has a business relationship with another company, and as a result they’ve offered tickets to the F1 Grand Prix in our area this year. Both bosses immediately planned to use the tickets on both themselves (this is understandable) and then both of their spouses. My question is about the latter — is it actually appropriate for them to share this perk with spouses instead of employees? It just struck me as a bit weird and self-interested for the initial instinct to be to share it with their spouses, who are unaffiliated with the company in any way outside of being their romantic partners, instead of with the very few employees they actually have. I would love to have some insight on whether or not this is appropriate or normal behavior, as I don’t know if I should speak up and say that it bothered me that romantic partners who don’t work here were going to be seeing perks that employees are not. It’s definitely a thing that happens with certain perks. It varies by company, but in a lot of workplaces there isn’t an automatic assumption that this sort of perk will distributed equitably, or that executives’ spouses won’t be included ahead of employees. You see it particularly with tickets, but you also see it with dinners out and trips (where spouses might be included too) I don’t think it’s an outrage that warrants complaining about it, but it’s also not particularly gracious of the owners, and it’s something really good leaders wouldn’t do. Good leaders see that kind of gift as an opportunity to reward people, build morale, and make them feel like a valued part of the team (and that’s true even if the tickets were specifically a thank-you to the owners for choosing to give their business to the other company). But while I don’t think you should complain, per se, there’s also nothing wrong with asking if employees can be included the next time something like that is offered. 3. My manager is from a country at war with mine I am living in Europe but I have a lot of family in Ukraine. My job just hired a new line manager for my team, an external hire. Today was their first day on the job and we had a team meeting where we were all being introduced for the first time. After a round of introductions, they said, “I noticed that there are multiple people from Ukraine on the team. I am from Russia, I wonder how that will go.” My internal reaction was, “Yes, I wonder as well, and I really wish this wasn’t sprung up on me in a team meeting.” Obviously, we should all treat people as individuals, I don’t know what their position is on the war, and good for them for noticing the inherent trickiness of the situation. But they didn’t follow up with any explicit comments about what they believe, and even just that makes me worried about how I’d have to phrase things about them. My job has been happy with my performance so far but there has been periodic impact on my day-to-day work when family and friends had various losses, injuries, and close calls that affected me as well, and I generally gave context to my manager about what was going on without thinking too hard about how to phrase it. Do you think my company should have done anything differently (other than not hiring a good candidate, which seems unreasonable)? Are there things that I should consider for dealing with this? In the past all my managers checked in with me on how things were going and while I don’t rant about my personal life, I haven’t had to worry about saying something controversial before, I guess I had the good luck of working with people who had similar views on political events that affected me personally. It would have been odd if your company had done anything differently. People aren’t their countries, and there’s no reason to assume anything either way about the new hire’s stance; the only thing it makes sense to assume is that they’ll behave professionally no matter what political differences they might have with team mates (on anything, not just this). If that turns out not to be the case, that’s something you’d need to escalate, but that would be an aberration, not something anyone should go in expecting will happen. The new hire’s comment was a little awkward, but it actually doesn’t reveal much and likely was borne out of feeling awkward about things themself. It wouldn’t have been appropriate for them to follow up with their stance on the war; that actually could have been really inappropriate. I think, too, that if you’re affected by something affecting your family’s safety, it’s still fine to share that! It’s likely to go better if everyone proceeds from the assumption that all involved are decent people with empathy for others. If that turns out not to be the case, you’ll find out soon enough (and is something you’d need to escalate, per my first paragraph), but don’t ascribe that to them prematurely. I hope your family is safe. 4. How to say “this was your idea” to my manager I have a new skip-level boss who is making me insane. There are a number of ways she’s not good at managing and working for her is incredibly unpleasant, so I’m trying to get out even though I love my job. In the meantime, I need to survive a recurring dynamic. “Andrea” will tell me to create a spreadsheet showing X, Y, and Z information. All this is available in our reporting system, but she wants it in a spreadsheet format. Then she’ll tell me to add on A and B. This will take me days to create. I’ll send it to her, and then wake up with comments all over the sheet: “Why are we reporting on B?” “How did you define X?” “What is this A column?” The answer to all of those is… you asked me for it. You told me you wanted to see B so there it is. X is defined as exactly what you told me to pull. Column A is the column that you said you needed. I feel like either I’m stupid because I can’t understand why this keeps happening, or she’s forgetting what she asked for. She is unpleasant and does not take feedback well, so I am very hesitant to name the dynamic; my direct manager is kind but not able to shield me. What’s a professional script for “I have no idea why you wanted this, but you asked for it so I gave it to you” when I get asked about things like this? Start preempting the question when you initially send the work. For example, when you send her a spreadsheet with edits she requested, write this in the email: “You asked me yesterday to add A and B to the C spreadsheet, so I’ve done that here. A is defined as ___ and B is defined as ___. Please let me know if you want me to do it differently.” If you miss the chance to do that and end up getting questioned later about why you did something she asked you to do, it’s fine to say, “My understanding from your feedback on Tuesday was that you wanted me to add A and B. Did I misunderstand what you were looking for?” Say this neutrally, like you’re genuinely curious if you misunderstood something, not with a subtext of “how do you not remember this?” 5. Should I list myself as currently employed? I am/was a federal probationary employee (i.e., I have less than a year of government service). Just over a month ago, I was swept up in the mass termination of probationary employees across the federal government. This week, I was reinstated as part of a temporary restraining order in a court case challenging the legality of that mass termination. However, in the intervening month, my entire unit was subjected to a reduction in force (also of questionable legality and about to face legal challenge). Therefore, when I was reinstated, I was immediately placed on paid administrative leave, which will continue until the reduction in force takes full effect and I am completely separated from federal service (in the absence of legal intervention). I am of course applying for other jobs, but now that I’ve been reinstated, I don’t know how to represent or how much to explain my current circumstances in application documents. How do I list my employment status while I’m on paid administrative leave? Do I just use “present” as the end date of my government service and leave it at that? Or should I list the date I was terminated, which was the last time I did any substantive work as a government employee? If I list myself as presently employed, do I need to explain in my cover letter why I’m looking for alternate employment after less than a year on the job? Or do employers understand why federal employees are all searching for jobs at this point, regardless of their exact circumstances? You’re still legally an employee there, so go ahead and list your employment as “to present” (so “May 2024 – present” or whatever). That’s reasonable to do regardless, and it’s especially reasonable given how much uncertainty is surrounding all of this. You don’t need to explain the situation in your cover letter — hiring managers know — but it’s also fine to allude to it in a single sentence if you want to; just don’t use any more cover letter real estate on it than that.

Lubuk Linggau (or Lubuklinggau) is a city in South Sumatra, Indonesia. There is a train that goes from Palembang to Lubuk Linggau, so that was the only excuse I needed to visit. I didn’t want to backtrack to Palembang, so I decided to stay in Lubuk Linggau and then find other transport to Bengkulu on the coast. The train from Palembang to Lubuk Linggau takes 7 h 15 m to travel the 306 km. Palembang to Lubuk Linggau might seem like a random city pair to build a passenger railway, especially when there are bigger cities in Sumatra that should be connected by rail. As I discovered on my first train trip in South Sumatra, this railway was built to extract coal from the South Sumatra coal fields. The passenger railway is just a side benefit of the railway that is mostly used by freight trains. [Lubuk Linggau Train Station.] Lubuk Linggau has a population of about 200,000 people, and the city is built in a valley along a river. There is basically one main road as the city can’t expand outwards. The train station is off this main road, so it’s easy to walk from the station to most places in the city. [Rail crossing in Lubuk Linggau.] Whenever I am in a provincial city without a clue of what to see or do, I head to the market and work it out from there. [Market in Lubuk Linggau.] There are some old shops and villas scattered around the city, but they are few and far between. There is an old cinema that has is hidden behind a shop. It’s roof gives away its Dutch heritage. [Engaan Theatre.] Indonesia had no interest in preserving colonial-era architecture. I wondered what Lubuk Linggau might have looked like if there was an intact old town area. The city is on a river, so that seemed like the most logical place to explore. There is a great riverwalk which is the most interesting thing to do in the city. The riverwalk is an elevated platform that runs alongside the river. The river has some shallow sections with rapids, and the sound of the water helps to break the still and humid air. Parts of the walkway had become overgrown. The jungle overtakes man-made structures quickly if they are not maintained. After walking along the river, you can exit and walk towards Bukit Sulap. This is a rainforest nature reserve, and there is a funicular (inclinator) that goes up the mountain. There was no one at the funicular office, but someone eventually saw me after I was walking around. They then went and got the key to open the funicular. It’s a steep ride, so I was glad I didn’t consider hiking to the top. Needless to say, there are great views of the city from here. There was no one else here, so the funicular pilot just waited at the top until I was done wandering around. This being Indonesia, selfies with the foreigner were required, and I always ask for a selfie in return. [With the funicular pilot on Bukit Sulap.] In the afternoon I had to work out how to go to Bengkulu. I had wondered why the train didn’t continue to the coast as it is not far away. Lubuk Linggau is at the edge of a mountain range, and it’s evident why the train stops here when you see a topographical map of Sumatra. I went to a travel agent near the station, but they were confused about why I would get a bus to Bengkulu. [Travel agent at Lubuk Linggau Station.] I asked my hotel to help me, and they said there were no buses. They made a call and booked a shared taxi car that goes to Bengkulu. The railways of Sumatra are fragmented in regional sections, so the railways are only useful for local provincial travel (and train nerds). One day there might be a Trans-Sumatra Railway, but is decades away from being a reality at this point. There is an airport in Lubuk Linggau for onward travel, though there are only flights to Jakarta. If you are figuring out how to get around Sumatra, I made a map of airports in Indonesia that shows all of the airports in Sumatra. I stayed at the Hotel Royal, which is on the main road in the city centre. After Lubuk Linggau, I went to the historic coastal city of Bengkulu. View the full article

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. Getting a premium economy or business class seat for the price of economy sounds like a fantasy, but that’s what the Dollar Flight Club Premium+ Plan helps you do: This subscription service does the heavy lifting of hunting down the best flight deals and sending them to your inbox. Usually, a year of DFC Premium+ costs $99.99, but right now, new users can get it for just $29.99 on StackSocial. That’s a solid discount—unless, of course, you already have an account (in which case, no dice). Also, you have to redeem your code within 30 days of buying, and after your discounted year, the membership renews at full price automatically. If you’re okay with that (or plan to cancel before renewal), you could lock in some serious travel savings with this deal. With a Premium Plus+ membership, you get access to discounted fares across Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class, meaning there’s a chance you could score a lie-flat seat to Europe for the price of an economy ticket. You’ll also get alerts for domestic and international mistake fares (those rare but amazing airline pricing errors), plus exclusive deals not available online, since DFC works directly with airlines. On top of that, members also get discounts on travel perks like Priority Pass and TSA PreCheck. Before you get too excited, though, keep in mind that Dollar Flight Club currently only covers members in North & South America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. If you travel frequently or have a bucket list trip in mind, this subscription might be an easy way to catch mistake fares, last-minute deals, and discounts on flights—sometimes up to 90% off. Just set your home airports, pick your ideal destinations, and let Dollar Flight Club scour the internet for the best fares. And unlike generic flight deal newsletters, this service tailors alerts to your preferences (departure airports and destinations), so you won’t waste time on irrelevant deals. View the full article

For decades, human organs, some of the most fragile cargo imaginable, have been transported on ice. Not because it was the best method, but because that’s how it had always been done. A process with life-or-death consequences remained unchanged simply out of habit. I didn’t fully grasp the flaws in this system until I experienced it firsthand. I saw the gaps in coordination, the last-minute scrambles, and the life-altering consequences of relying on outdated methods. But identifying a problem isn’t the same as knowing how to fix it. Innovation happens when leaders refuse to accept the way it’s always been done. It happens when they show up, ask questions, and stay immersed in their industry long enough to see the gaps that others overlook. Research proves this: Founders with at least 3 years of industry experience are nearly twice as likely to succeed as those without it. What numbers don’t show Before developing Paragonix’s organ preservation technology, I spent years traveling with transplant teams, standing in operating rooms, and observing every step of the process. I experienced how outdated transport methods created uncertainty, how communication breakdowns led to preventable delays, and how every inefficiency had real consequences for patients. Numbers tell part of the story, but experience fills in the gaps. More than 103,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ transplant, and every 8 minutes, another person is added to the list. A spreadsheet can track transplant success rates, but it won’t capture a patient’s anxiety as they wait, unsure if a life-saving organ will arrive in time. Data can show transit times, but it won’t reflect the pressure on a transplant team racing against the clock, knowing that every lost minute could mean losing a life. Many well-intentioned ideas fall apart because of this gap between analysis and reality. Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann calls this pattern a “false start” — when founders launch solutions before fully understanding the problems they’re trying to solve. His research shows that many entrepreneurs, eager to launch, skip the critical step of customer discovery and assume they’ll figure out the details as they go. Turn immersion into innovation The most effective solutions come from understanding the problem in practice—seeing it, feeling it, and engaging with the people who experience it every day. That doesn’t stop once a company is built. I travel with our sales reps, visit transplant centers, and speak directly with the people using our technology because that’s the only way to understand what’s working and what’s not. Staying embedded in an industry provides the knowledge to innovate, but making a real impact requires persistence. Here are three things I’ve learned: Expect resistance and keep going Even with overwhelming evidence, people still doubt new ideas. Research shows that controlled organ preservation improves outcomes, yet resistance remains. Some pushback strengthens a solution, but not all criticism is useful. The closer you are to the problem, the easier it is to separate valid concerns from reluctance to adapt. Staying in the field provides the conviction to push forward when others hesitate and the clarity to know what feedback is worth acting on. Listen for what’s not being said People don’t always voice their biggest frustrations. A transplant team might say a process works, but watching them tells a different story. For decades, organs packed in ice could only travel so far before becoming unusable, which forced teams to work within tight geographic boundaries. These limitations were simply accepted as part of the job. Real insights come from noticing inefficiencies and workarounds that shouldn’t exist. Leaders who look beyond what’s being said are the ones who recognize opportunities for real innovation. Identify patterns, not just problems Not every problem needs fixing, but when the same inefficiencies surface again and again, they’re worth a closer look. For years, transplant teams worked around unpredictable organ arrival times. They developed contingency plans, adjusted schedules at the last minute, and braced for delays. Real-time tracking wasn’t the result of a single brainstorming session—it came from recognizing a repeated problem. The best insights start with paying attention to the patterns others ignore. You can’t spot a breakthrough from behind a desk. No matter the industry, meaningful innovation starts with questioning what others accept, seeing the problem firsthand, and refusing to look away. The Fast Company Impact Council is a private membership community of influential leaders, experts, executives, and entrepreneurs who share their insights with our audience.

Despite ongoing efforts to address increased costs, out-of-pocket spending on healthcare continues to rise. Higher insurance copays and deductibles, increased medication costs, and rising inflation rates are just a few of the factors contributing to this trend. As a result, millions of Americans find themselves racking up medical debt, deferring critical medical treatment, or neglecting chronic health conditions. But the cost burden isn’t equal by gender. Many people have heard of the “pink tax,” the pattern of women’s goods and services—from razors to dry cleaning—costing more than the men’s equivalent. But few realize how far this extends beyond store shelves. Across the healthcare spectrum, women are spending significantly more out of pocket on prescriptions and medical treatments. Recently, I had the opportunity to moderate a panel at SXSW discussing the healthcare pink tax, sharing some new research from GoodRx on the disparities, and learning what actions healthcare leaders are taking to address this. This conversation was eye-opening for our attendees, and served as a reminder that we still have a long way to go in fixing this problem. Doing so won’t just help women, but will also relieve pressure on our healthcare system and support a healthier U.S. population. The current state of women’s healthcare costs Each year, women spend billions more than men on out-of-pocket healthcare costs. This latest GoodRx research found that in 2024, women spent nearly 30% more out of pocket on prescriptions than men, totaling over $8.5 billion in additional spending. And the discrepancy is even more pronounced among women aged 18-44, partly due to expenses specific to women, such as those associated with reproductive health. But women-specific healthcare needs like fertility and birth control aren’t the only drivers of inequitable out-of-pocket costs. Women are also spending more on all-gender conditions. One example is mental health, where women spend 113% more than men on depression medications and 103% more on anxiety treatments. Once women reach menopause, the economic burden spikes again. AARP found that women spend over $13 billion annually on treating their menopause symptoms, and research from Elektra Health found that those who’ve been diagnosed as menopausal spend 45% more on healthcare costs to treat their symptoms each year than those who are not menopausal. As Americans age, these gaps begin to close. GoodRx revealed that out-of-pocket healthcare spending among older men and women is more comparable, with women aged 45-64 paying over 35% more in 2024, and women over 65 outspending men by 16.5%. This is likely due to Medicare coverage, similar chronic disease burdens, and reduced reproductive health costs. How healthcare leaders must take action As healthcare leaders, the onus is on us to implement solutions that make it easier for women to access healthcare savings and reduce their out-of-pocket spending. Much of the inequity comes from long-standing, outdated cultural understanding and social stigmas around women’s health. Addressing this urgent crisis requires collaboration and systemic changes across the healthcare system, with policymakers, insurers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, healthcare professionals, and many others playing an important role. Health insurers and employers must take proactive steps to analyze and update benefit design for their members, creating a more equal playing field and reducing the financial burden for women. The government can implement policy reforms, acknowledging the gaps and mandating that healthcare companies look towards more inclusive practices. Researchers should address the data and clinical trial gaps that regularly exclude women in an effort to improve product innovation and outcomes for females. And, collectively, we can all raise awareness and advocate for equality in healthcare. At GoodRx, we are working on the medication piece of the cost puzzle, helping women at all stages of life access lower prices on essential medications. This includes up to savings on fertility treatments, based on the best available GoodRx price, for both brand-name and generic medications used in every phase of the IVF process. We also introduced our e-commerce platform in October with Opill, enabling GoodRx users to purchase the first over-the-counter birth control pill online. And, just last year, we launched affordability programs for Pfizer’s menopause hormone therapies. Though much more needs to be done, these initiatives are critical in chipping away at the larger cost disparity and access issues. Lower healthcare costs create healthier communities Addressing the pink tax in healthcare is our moral and economic imperative. Affordable healthcare doesn’t just support better health and quality of life for women, but has a positive ripple effect on our families, communities, and healthcare system. As with most healthcare reform, real change requires collaboration from all stakeholders in the healthcare system. As a woman and the mom of a daughter, I’m hopeful that we can close this widening gap and improve healthcare access for all women.

In an unpredictable labor market, where job gains in January fell below expectations and the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Employers can’t afford to rest on their laurels. While the economy has remained relatively strong, shifts in the job market have been historically inevitable, and companies must constantly evaluate their operations to ensure they’re attracting and retaining the best talent. One area that employers should pay close attention to: employee benefits. Surprisingly, small businesses—often perceived as lacking the resources to offer substantial perks—are quietly leading the charge in providing the kinds of benefits that employees value most. Small businesses are stepping up to meet workers’ needs, and it’s not just about flashy perks like wellness programs or flexible work arrangements. Traditional benefits, particularly retirement plans like 401(k)s, have emerged as crucial factors in attracting top talent and securing long-term employee satisfaction, according to Guideline research. While it’s easy to focus on the more visible, short-term perks that have become synonymous with modern work culture, many employees are prioritizing long-term financial stability over immediate rewards. As workers grow older, their anxiety about financial security in retirement naturally may only increase. This economic uncertainty has become a driving factor in employee decision making. Our Guideline research shows that a stunning 93% of employees say that retirement benefits, such as a 401(k), influence their decision to join a company. More tellingly, half of employees surveyed said they would turn down a job offer from a company that did not offer a retirement benefit. For businesses, this shift in worker priorities presents a clear opportunity—and a possible call to action. Small businesses are going the extra mile Small businesses, often without the same resources as larger companies, have begun to recognize the growing importance of retirement benefits. In fact, the same research revealed that 70% of employers feel offering employees retirement benefits helped them with recruiting and hiring talent. And they’re not just offering 401(k) plans, but making them as impactful as possible. For example, nearly 80% of businesses that offer a 401(k) plan through Guideline provide employer matching. Our research shows that these contributions can increase employee participation in 401(k) plans by 9%, further cementing their value as part of an overall benefits strategy. No matter the size of your business, it may not be enough to just offer the basics when it comes to employee benefits. Employers can help employees bridge the retirement savings gap. After all, the lack of access to retirement plans or the absence of a company match may disproportionately affect those who need help saving the most—especially in a climate where wages have stagnated for many workers. Providing access to a 401(k) plan and offering employer matching are key ways businesses can fulfill their role in helping employees plan for a comfortable retirement. Small businesses are spurring the 401(k) boom The numbers speak for themselves: over 15,000 businesses signed up for a Guideline 401(k) plan just last year. Of these new signed plans, 92% of them were customers who previously hadn’t offered a retirement saving option. This surge in interest signals a clear shift in mindset—a recognition that long-term financial security is just as important, if not more so, than the short-term perks that have become trendy. Small businesses are recognizing the changing needs of workers and stepping up to meet this demand. As more businesses recognize the impact of robust retirement benefits, it’s clear that this trend is more than just a passing phase—it’s a fundamental shift in how employers view their responsibilities to employees. Workers today are no longer looking for a job that simply offers them a paycheck and a handful of perks. They’re looking for long-term stability and the opportunity to build a secure future for themselves and their families. To put this into perspective, last year, nearly 85% of employees who received access to retirement savings through Guideline participated in their plans, and on average, contributed close to 7% of their paycheck. Small businesses, by offering meaningful benefits like 401(k) plans with employer contributions, are not just meeting these demands—they’re helping to shape the future of employee benefits. While large employers may have the resources to provide a broad array of perks, it’s the small businesses that are truly leading the charge in addressing the real concerns that employees have about their futures. This shift toward offering substantial retirement benefits isn’t just good for employees—it can be good for businesses as well. By helping to ensure their workers can retire with dignity and financial security, small businesses are investing in their most valuable asset: their people. In today’s labor market, the companies that prioritize long-term stability and employee well-being can undoubtedly stand out. The time is now for businesses, large and small, to rethink how they approach employee benefits. It’s no longer enough to offer just the basics. Employees are looking for more, and small businesses are proving they have what it takes to deliver.

Perhaps the surest sign that artificial intelligence really is taking over the world will come the day it wins your favorite March Madness bracket pool. The day could be coming soon. In an experiment that a) was bound to happen, b) might actually make us all look smarter and c) should probably also scare the daylights out of everyone, a successful CEO-turned-disruptor is running a $1 million March Madness bracket challenge that pits his AI programmers’ picks against those belonging to one of the world’s best-known sports gamblers. “We’re not a crystal ball,” says Alan Levy, whose platform, 4C Predictions, is running this challenge. “But it’s going to start to get very, very creepy. In 2025, we’re making a million-dollar bet with a professional sports bettor, and the reason we feel confident to do that is because data, we feel, will beat humans.” Levy isn’t the only one leveraging AI to help people succeed in America’s favorite pick ’em pool — one that’s become even more lucrative over the past seven years, after a Supreme Court ruling led to the spread of legalized sports betting to 38 states. ChatGPT, a chatbot developed by OpenAI, is hawking its services to help bracket fillers more easily find stats and identify trends. Not surprisingly, it makes no promises. “With upsets, momentum shifts, and basketball’s inherent unpredictability, consistently creating a perfect bracket may still come down to luck,” said Leah Anise, a spokesperson for OpenAI. Also making no promises, but trying his hardest, is Sheldon Jacobson, the computer science professor at Illinois who has been trying to build a better bracket through science for years; he might have been AI before AI. “Nobody predicts the weather,” he explained in an interview back in 2018. “They forecast it using chances and odds.” $1 million on the line in AI vs. Sean Perry showdown Levy’s angle is he’s willing to wager $1 million that the AI bracket his company produces can beat that of professional gambler Sean Perry. Among Perry’s claims to fame was his refusal to accept a four-way split in a pot worth $9.3 million in an NFL survivor pool two years ago. The next week, his pick, the Broncos, lost to New England and he ended up with nothing. But Perry has wagered and won millions over his career, using heaps of analytics, data and insider information to try to find an edge that, for decades, has been proprietary to casinos and legal sports books, giving them an advantage that allows them to build all those massive hotels. Levy says his ultimate goal is to bring that advantage to the average Joe — either the weekly football bettor who doesn’t have access to reams of data, or the March Madness bracket filler who goes by feel or what team’s mascot he likes best. “The massive thesis is that the average person are playing games that they can never win, they’re trading stocks where they can never win, they’re trading crypto where they can never win,” Levy said. “4C gives people the chance to empower themselves. It’s a great equalizer. It’s going to level the playing field for everyone.” But can AI predict the completely unexpected? It’s one thing to find an edge, quite another to take out every element of chance — every halfcourt game-winner, every 4-point-a-game scorer who goes off for 25, every questionable call by a ref, every St. Peter’s, Yale, FAU or UMBC that rises up and wins for reasons nobody quite understands. For those who fear AI is leading the world to bad places, Levy reassures us that when it comes to sports, at least, the human element is always the final decider — and humans can do funny and unexpected things. That’s one of many reasons that, according to the NCAA, there’s a 1 in 120.2 billion chance of a fan with good knowledge of college basketball going 63 for 63 in picking the games. It’s one of many reasons that almost everyone has a story about their 8-year-old niece walking away with the pot because she was the only one who picked George Mason, or North Carolina State, or VCU, to make the Final Four. “You can’t take the element of fun and luck out of it,” Levy said. “Having said that, as AI develops, it’s going to get creepier and creepier and the predictions are going to get more and more accurate, and it’s all around data sets.” Levy suggests AI is no three-headed monster, but rather, an advanced version of “Moneyball” — the classic book-turned-movie that followed Oakland A’s GM Billy Beane’s groundbreaking quest to leverage data to build a winning team. Now, it’s all about putting all that data on steroids, trying to minimize the impact of luck and glass slippers, and building a winning bracket. “We’ve got to understand that this technology is meant to augment us,” Levy said. “It’s meant to make our lives better. So, let’s encourage people to use it, and even if it’s creepy, at least it’s creepy on our side.” The AI’s side in this one: Houston to win it all. Perry, the gambler, is going with Duke. —Eddie Pells, AP national writer View the full article

Netsuite is a powerful all-in-one tool for enterprise organizations that want to limit the number of apps they use without limiting functionality. It’s a solid option for managing projects, handling customer data, and even processing payments. One of the biggest advantages of a platform like NetSuite is the ability to automate more of your manual work away, giving your teams precious time back for more essential tasks. But you have more than just a few options when it comes to NetSuite automation. So how do you pick the right one? Why not use built-in NetSuite automation? NetSuite has built-in automation features that can suit some of your needs, but few enterprise organizations rely exclusively on them. There are a few reasons for this: Transaction line limits: A single NetSuite transaction can only be the subject of an automation a limited number of times. That means a work item that requires frequent updates will eventually be unsupported by NetSuite’s built-in automations. API limits: NetSuite’s API is the platform through which other tools can push or pull data. When automating actions across multiple tools, API access is essential. NetSuite’s API has some limits on the number of requests that can be made, which means it’s not necessarily suited to every organization’s needs. Other limitations: Some automations have their own specific limitations. For example, payment automations are limited to the United States, while automated bill capture is limited to English bills and only 100 active location records can be used at a time. For some organizations, NetSuite’s limitations won’t affect their operations. But others will need dedicated automation solutions to really work seamlessly. That’s where these NetSuite automation options come in. The 4 best options for NetSuite automation Unito Unito is a two-way sync solution with over 60 integrations for some of the most popular tools on the market. Unito is the best NetSuite automation solution for organizations that need enterprise-grade capabilities but don’t want to wait months for their first automation to be deployed. A single Unito flow can connect work items throughout your NetSuite instance with other NetSuite items as well as work items from tools like Jira, ServiceNow, and Smartsheet. Unito’s no-code interface is simple enough for teams to set up their own integrations with no IT intervention, without sacrificing the deep integration functionality or customizability enterprise teams need. Imagine that you relied on ServiceNow for managing requests from customers while having most of your customer data in NetSuite. Without the right automation solution, you’d be looking at significant manual data entry to get the necessary context from ServiceNow in NetSuite and vice-versa. With Unito, that’s not a problem. Here’s why Unito is the best automation solution for NetSuite: Robust, easy-to-use integrations: Unito integrations are powerful and easy to set up. Where other automation solutions are either limited in functionality or require expert help to set up, Unito can be deployed without technical help without sacrificing essential features. True 2-way sync: Most automation solutions only push data in one direction. They might allow the creation of a work item in one tool to automatically create a work item in another tool, or updating one field to update the other. These automations almost always go from one tool to another. With Unito, updates are made in both tools dynamically, automatically. Automated field mappings: Field mappings pair fields in one tool (or one work item) to fields in the other. This puts all the data you need exactly where you need it with little extra work. Many automation platforms expect you to map these manually. Unito doesn’t. Robust rules: Unito’s rules allow you to filter out work items, automate essential actions, and more. While most automation solutions have similar rules, few of them work in concert with a two-way sync. Deeper automations: Most automation platforms support a few fields or simple actions unless you invest in a dedicated technical expert. Unito supports deeper automations and you’ll see better results without technical expertise. Biggest advantages Anyone can set up their first Unito flow quickly and simply, which sets it apart from workflow automation platforms for NetSuite. Unito integrations are enterprise-grade without the associated deployment times, which includes advanced security features and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. Unito’s integrations support all sorts of tools, from project management platforms to DevOps tools and ERP platforms. Biggest drawback Unito doesn’t have as many integrations as some of the other options in this list. Customer rating G2: 4.5/5 Capterra: 4.5/5 Want to see what sets Unito apart? Meet with our team and see why Unito is the best NetSuite automation solution. Book a demo Boomi Boomi is a long-standing automation platform, with integrations for databases, drives, project management tools, and many other systems. Gartner has named Boomi as a leader in the iPaaS market, easily making it one of the most popular platforms on this list. Boomi is used by organizations like LinkedIn, American Express, and Dropbox, meaning it’s particularly well-suited to enterprise needs. Biggest drawback While Boomi does have a drag-and-drop interface for less technical users, it has serious limitations and custom scripting is usually required to integrate tools. Customer rating G2: 4.4/5 Capterra: 4.4/5 Workato Workato is a popular platform for integrating tools like NetSuite, used by customers like Adobe, Atlassian, HP, and HubSpot. Its AI-ready integration-building platform gives users access to the latest technological advancements as they automate NetSuite. Like most other popular tools for this, Workato uses trigger-based automations. That means a work item has to be created or updated before data will be pushed between work items, whether that’s within NetSuite or from NetSuite to other tools. Biggest drawback Workato’s step learning curve means some organizations won’t have the necessary resources to properly deploy it promptly. Finding the right support options to troubleshoot issues you run into can also be difficult. Customer rating G2: 4.7/5 Capterra: 4.7/5 Tray.ai Tray.ai is an AI-powered iPaaS that can automate slews of actions throughout NetSuite and between it and other tools. While AI-enhanced features are found in most of the options in this list, Tray.ai is built on AI agents that work across tools, automating complex actions throughout your workflows. This tool uses recipe-based automation, which eliminates the need for manual data entry and helps prevent human error. With over 500 connectors, you can integrate most (if not all) of your tool stack with NetSuite. Biggest drawback Like many automation tools, Tray.ai has a significant learning curve. Organizations that don’t have technical resources to invest in simplifying this will only see positive impacts months after implementing the platform.
