While the dairy industry serves 80% of the global population, it is also responsible for significant percentage of greenhouse gas emissions, leading to environmental and climate problems. A Finnish startup Solar Foods has secured €5.5 million worth of funding from the European Innovation Council, for the ‘HYDROCOW’project that aims to create a microbe by using water and electricity that can convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into beta-lactoglobulin – a whey protein that is a main component of dairy milk.

The power grid is something of a black box, with businesses traditionally unable to fully understand how the power they purchase translates into greenhouse gas emissions. This is due to a lack of location- and time-specific data.
Startup Singularity Energy, which was developed by experts at Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins, is working to change this with its validated, hourly grid emissions data layer and business decarbonisation tools.

Learning is for life, and it’s the most amazing thing. As an entrepreneur there is no escaping learning, one is bound to learn something everyday, but beyond entrepreneurship, everyone needs to be a self-learner.

Jen Sargant CEO @ Wondery a podcast network acquired by Amazon for US$300 m. Previous entrepreneurial success involved launching a media company in 2008, growing it though the recession to finally selling it to Uproxx in 2016. With Wondery, she faced challenging times again when the pandemic hit the world, drying up advertising revenue and also making the podcasting space more crowded. Her focus moved to promoting the subscription app called Wondery Plus, which allowed listeners to have advertising free experience, early release of shows and exclusive content. She values the importance of being flexible, while entrepreneurs have to be serious about their business fundamentals, they also need to learn to adapt to changing times.

Entrepreneurs who have taken the franchisee route to start their entrepreneurial journey, need to develop and maintain their local social media campaigns, to build relationships within the community they serve and also drive business. The franchisor may drive the national campaigns which will look the same across all regional pages, the local flair will drive the local people to the stores.

While entrepreneurship has been on the rise over the last couple of decades, the economic situation in 2023 does not reflect the standard pattern of Billionaire entrepreneurs, but that of Billionaires by inheritance. Geo-political crisis, rising interest rates, recessionary trends etc have made it challenging for entrepreneurs to build wealth in 2023.

Often times the challenges may have been overcome by the entrepreneur, but on the sides it definitely has had an impact on his or health physically and mentally. While physical exercise is commonly practiced by all, it’s equally important to do mental or brain exercises to ensure continued good brain health and function.

“Are you a creator or a consumer? Yes, you!”https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-creator-consumer-yes-vijay-anand-dq6zc on @LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-blackbook-
Interesting thoughts on being a consumer v/s a creator. First question, if everyone becomes a creator, who is going to consume? Honestly this theory of investing more time, energy and money on creative pursuits that solve a certain problem in a given market is the best strategy for succeeding in entrepreneurship, it ensures no distraction and total commitment to the idea, startup or business. And then again as entrepreneur we do want consumers for our products or services, hence it’s a very validating theory for entrepreneurs to be focused on creation and avoid time consuming irrelevant stuff, and the time involved in consumption is also in some way connected towards creating stuff.

Mark Cuban Shares His Very Simple Morning Routine | @Entrepreneur
The importance of a Morning Routine has been a trending topic, with articles from various media publications highlighting the morning routines of some of the big names. For a second when you say “a good morning routine” your kind can think of productive, action oriented, getting ahead while the rest of the world is still asleep, etc. However it does not mean that one needs to follow in the steps of their role models. A morning routine is a very individual thing, and it’s best to keep it that way. It will last longer. It will be easier to make it a habit. Copying the routine of your favourite role model may be fun to start with, but it may not be what you want an hence you may discontinue it in a few days. What works for one may not necessarily work for the other. Similarly getting out of the bed and getting into action in terms of exercise, meditation etc, is not the only sign of a good morning routine, for some like Mark Cuban, a good morning routine may be to just lay in bed and get down with emails.
