The streaming industry has entered its adolescence, and while Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have established themselves as global frontrunners, a host of other services, including Disney+, Hulu and Apple TV+, are competing fiercely for market share. Apple TV+ ranks an impressive third among the eight major streaming services in U.S. audience demand share for streaming originals (8.4 percent), according to Parrot Analytics. Though Apple TV+ may not be the most popular streaming service yet, it's increasingly crucial to Apple's overarching media strategy.

Despite all the astonishing advancements in medicine in the U.S. in recent years, policymakers and healthcare providers have yet to come up with a comprehensive solution for addressing rural healthcare—and as a result, millions of Americans across vast stretches of the country continue to be underserved. Rural medicine has consistently lagged behind the rest of the U.S. healthcare system due to a complex array of factors spanning socioeconomics, access to technology and connectivity, availability of qualified personnel, properly aligned financial incentives, and finally, stifling over-regulation and bureaucracy. But other countries—some of them with even far more challenging rural or remote populations—are proving that with the proper mix of innovation, technology and the ability to cut through red tape, a lot more can be done.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed by Congress in 2021, includes up to $7 billion to fund a Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program. The U.S. Department of Energy, the program’s administrator, states that its goal is to facilitate the creation of “large-scale, commercially viable hydrogen ecosystems.” There is reason to believe that the Hubs concept will translate into the holy grail of “commercial viability” for green hydrogen. The key idea is that of the “cluster.” Read more on how economic clusters can drive innovation, cut costs and accelerate green hydrogen adoption across the country: https://lnkd.in/ebxR9Cbh By Steve Crolius, Carbon-Neutral Consulting

When most people think of Aston Martin, they think of James Bond in a sleek silver sports car zipping through the tight and winding streets of an international city in pursuit of a bad guy. While that’s certainly part of the luxury automaker’s mythology, the modern Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd (the corporate name) is about much more than how to make a martini (shaken, not stirred), and the company has managed to broaden its high-end appeal thanks to a popular SUV known as the DBX.

After mentoring more than 1,000 individuals over the course of his career as an entrepreneur and investor, Gary Kusin decided to write a book. In April, the GameStop co-founder published Always Learning: Lessons on Leveling Up from GameStop to Laura Mercier, an autobiographical collection of career and life lessons he’d learned and wanted to share with the world. “I’d been thinking about what could be a way to mentor more broadly because I’ve run out of time, if you will, for the number of people who are calling and asking for my time,” Kusin told Observer. In a wide-ranging interview, the entrepreneur discussed top lessons in his book, the fallacy of “finding your passion,” switching between two seemingly irrelevant industries and the inexact science of hiring and firing key employees.

With Vice President Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket for the 2024 presidential election, experts are weighing what A.I. policy could look like under a Harris administration. Many foresee Harris continuing a path of measured yet fairly aggressive steps to regulate A.I., but the president hopeful may have more on her mind.

After months of anticipation, Apple unveiled its ambitious plans to integrate artificial intelligence into its ecosystem with “Apple Intelligence,” an initiative that promises to embed A.I. capabilities across iPhones, iPads and MacBooks—all while safeguarding user data.

Like it or not, Hollywood relies on franchises as its lifeblood and studio executives would sell their souls (and likely have) for a hit film series they can milk for years. Marvel, Jurassic World, Lord of the Rings—these types of tentpole titles bolster and subsidize entire movie slates while virtually guaranteeing high floors at the box office. These franchises generate repetitive cash flow, often sparing executives from the hot seat during challenging times for theaters. But blockbuster franchise development has changed dramatically in the last 15 years alongside the financial model for success. To understand the challenges facing studios, we need to track those changes and ask a central question: is raw box office or audience goodwill more important to the creation of a successful franchise?
