THE ICONIC BRAND’S latest venture is a metaverse play called .Swoosh, a Web3-enabled platform where people will be able to buy its virtual products. It’s essentially a marketplace, which makes sense because the breathlessly hyped internet of the future is much like the internet of the present: dominated by commerce.
Swoosh exists on a domain named “.nike” and will be an experimental digital space for registered members. It’s currently in beta, and registration to join opens on November 18.
Amazon became the latest technology giant that’s likely to conduct large-scale layoffs, according to the New York Times. On Monday, the outlet reported that the company planned to lay off some 10,000 people, citing “people with knowledge of the matter.”
It’s the latest post-pandemic labor rout in the tech industry. Earlier this month, Twitter laid off roughly 3,000 employees. Meta laid off over 11,000 people last week. Google, Apple, and Disney have announced plans to cut costs or slow down hiring.
As a creative person, you likely feel a wonderful compulsion to create and appreciate art. However, there are likely times in your life when you feel like the creative juices just aren’t flowing.

The term FCL stands for “full container load.” When you ship FCL, your goods get their container that is not shared with the cargo of other shippers. LCL stands for “less than container load” and means your goods will share space in a container with other shippers’ products.
The advantages of using FCL shipping
There are definite advantages to using fcl shipping, especially if you have a large volume of goods to send.
Your cargo is not subject to damage
First, your product will not be subject to damage that could occur from shifting and possible breakage during loading and unloading when it shares space with other items in an LCL shipment.
Faster shipping
Secondly, FCL shipping is generally faster since your product doesn’t have to be consolidated with others before it is shipped or before it is unloaded at its destination.
In the early months of the pandemic, Facebook only grew bigger and more central to our lives. With lockdowns spreading, countless people began shopping, socializing and working on Facebook and other online platforms. As CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in March 2020, usage was so high that the company was “just trying to keep the lights on.”
Against that backdrop, Zuckerberg’s company went on a remarkable hiring spree. Facebook, which later rebranded as Meta, went from 48,268 staffers in March 2020 to more than 87,000 as of September of this year. In other words, it hired another Facebook’s worth of staff. And it looked like the company would only keep hiring to support its ambitious plans to build a future version of the internet called the metaverse.

If you purchase a new body wash from skincare company KraveBeauty, you’ll be taking advantage of something that might otherwise have been waste. The body wash wasn’t a planned product, but a happy accident after a batch of the brand’s face cleanser didn’t quite meet its standards.
“That body wash was something that was never in our product pipeline,” says KraveBeauty founder and CEO Liah Yoo, who started the skincare brand in 2017. “It just came from a problem-solving process: How do we make sure that we are not spilling this down into the wastestream and can still use this as an opportunity to also bring awareness to the public [about waste].”
One of the most challenging quarters for business leaders is often Q4. There is often a rush to close out the year’s expenses, plan year-end initiatives and marketing campaigns, and coordinate holiday PTO.
Even though Q4 is sure to be a busy season, it’s also a great time to do some business “housekeeping” and check in on annual goals that haven’t been completed. Here, eight Young Entrepreneur Council members each share one item that’s always included on their year-end checklist.
