Nextdoor Gets Update With Local News Partnerships
If you are a Nextdoor user, you know it is the place to ask for plumber recommendations and to air your grievances about the new traffic light in town. But Nextdoor wants to be so much more. Co-founder and CEO Nirav Tolia told AP News: "There should be enough value that we are creating for neighbors that they feel like they need to open up Nextdoor every single day. And that isn't the case today." To that end, Nextdoor announced its "most consequential redesign of its core product to date." A refresh of the site and app will focus on three pillars: Alerts, News, and Faves. Related: 12 Leadership Lessons From Nextdoor CEO Alerts promises "to deliver real-time updates on everything from daily weather and traffic to critical moments like power outages, severe storms, and wildfires." Faves will utilize AI to deliver quick answers to questions like, "What is the best place to hike with kids?" according to the release. In a big push to become a source of reliable information, the News section will utilize content from 3,500 local news publications in the U.S., UK, and Canada. Collectively, the app will publish 50,000 local news stories per week. "Trusted outlets are now reaching neighbors directly through the platform, bringing community-focused journalism to neighborhoods everywhere," read the release. "We thought in our early days that neighbors would take over, almost as citizen journalists or local reporters," Tolia said to AP. "I think we've come to the conclusion that neighbors can only do so much." Related: Nextdoor's CMO Says Small Businesses Are Underutilizing One Critical Tool That Could Propel Their Marketing Efforts Tolia revealed that while Nextdoor has 100 million registered users, only about 25 million log in once a week. With these improvements, Nextdoor is hoping to boost that number, which could provide an ancillary boost for the struggling local news market. Tim Franklin, head of the Medill Local News Initiative at Northwestern, told the AP that this could provide a lifeline to sites getting killed by Google's AI answers. "If Nextdoor is another vessel to get readers to news sites, and local news sites in particular," Franklin said, "It would come at a real moment of vulnerability for local news organizations and would be a real opportunity."

Starbucks CEO Says Return to the Office or Take a Buyout
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol is pushing for more in-person work, stating that it strengthens company culture. Starbucks is calling corporate employees back to the office four days a week and offering a buyout to those who'd rather leave the company instead. In a letter to employees on Monday, Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol said that at the beginning of the company's fiscal year in October, workers will be expected to be in the office four days a week, Monday through Thursday, up from the previous three-day requirement established in 2023. Related: 'We're Not Effective': Starbucks CEO Tells Corporate Employees to 'Own Whether or Not This Place Grows' However, he also offered a way out. Niccol noted that Starbucks corporate workers have the option for a "one-time voluntary exit program with a cash payment" of undisclosed value if they wish to leave the company in response to the return-to-office mandate. "The default for support partners should be working in person, in a Starbucks office, alongside your team and cross-functional partners," Niccol wrote. "We understand not everyone will agree with this approach." Niccol wrote that he has "listened" and "thought carefully" about the move to more in-person work, concluding that four days a week in the office is the best step for Starbucks going forward. Employees do their "best work" when they're together, and in-person work strengthens company culture, Niccol asserted. "As a company built on human connection, and given the scale of the turnaround ahead, we believe this is the right path for Starbucks," Niccol wrote. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol. Photo byNiccol became Starbucks' CEO in September 2024 after spending six years leading Chipotle. Starbucks pays for Niccol to use a corporate jet to commute nearly 1,000 miles from his home in Newport Beach, California, to the company's headquarters in Seattle, Washington. His work schedule exceeds three days a week in the office, a Starbucks representative told CNBC in August. Under Niccol's leadership, Starbucks has embarked on a turnaround plan called "Back to Starbucks," designed to revitalize slumping sales and make the coffee chain more of a welcoming place for customers. Changes made so far include streamlining the menu by cutting 30% of it, aiming to make coffee in under four minutes, and offering a personalized touch by writing customers' names down on their cups. Related: 'Additional Human Touch': Starbucks Has a Turnaround Plan That Includes Buying 200,000 Sharpies. Here's Why. So far, sales are still dwindling. Starbucks' most recent financial results in April showed that global store sales declined 1% for the quarter ending on March 30 compared to the same period last year. In the U.S., store sales dropped 2% for the quarter. Starbucks still opened 213 net new stores in the quarter, ending the period with 40,789 global stores. More than 17,000 of those stores were located in the U.S. Starbucks shares were up over 2% year-to-date at the time of writing. The coffee chain had a market value of $106.85 billion.

29-Year-Old's Side Hustle: $10k in 2 Days, 6 Figures a Month
This Side Hustle Spotlight Q&A features Nikki Seaman, the 29-year-old, Atlanta, Georgia-based entrepreneur behind olive brand Freestyle Snacks. Learn more about her business journey, here. Responses have been edited for length and clarity. Image Credit: Courtesy of Freestyle Snacks. Nikki Seaman. Want to read more stories like this? Subscribe to Money Makers, our free newsletter packed with creative side hustle ideas and successful strategies. Sign up here. What was your day job or primary occupation when you started your side hustle? I was on an externship from my management consulting job at Bain & Co, leading special projects at Whisps Cheese Crisps. When did you start your side hustle, and where did you find the inspiration for it? The idea of Freestyle Snacks came about in 2021. I found inspiration during the pandemic, as olive bars in grocery stores shut down, and I was forced to get my olive fix from the traditional olive aisle. The "eyeballs" in a jar just weren't cutting it for me in terms of quality and convenience. So I decided to create an easier, more enjoyable way to eat olives. Related: They Started a Side Hustle Producing an 'Obvious' Food Item. It Hit $300,000 Monthly Revenue Fast — On Track for Over $20 Million in 2025. What were some of the first steps you took to get your side hustle off the ground? How much money/investment did it take to launch? I started by focusing on consumer data. I lived in Mintel reports, and I ran a bunch of surveys to pressure-test if there was real demand. I would stand in the olive aisle at the grocery store and interview olive-lovers about their preferences. After calling over 200 co-packers, I was able to find a partner to bring my vision for Freestyle Snacks to life. Including our packaging design, materials and first production run, I spent around $50,000 in savings to get to market. Are there any free or paid resources that have been especially helpful for you in starting and running this business? No matter the industry, finding a community and other founders to chat with is invaluable. When I was first getting started, I would stack my Fridays with meetings with other CPG founders to see what I could learn from their wins and their mistakes. For my industry, the Startup CPG community is a great place to find other like-minded individuals who are eager to help and support. In running the business, one resource that has been incredible for us lately is TikTok — it is free organic reach to millions of potential customers, and we are investing a lot of time on this platform. If you could go back in your business journey and change one process or approach, what would it be, and how do you wish you'd done it differently? I would have taken more time to build a stronger bench of part-time help earlier. In the beginning, I was doing everything from shipping samples to managing QuickBooks and answering customer emails at midnight. It was, of course, scrappy, but it was also draining and unsustainable. Looking back, I could have brought in affordable support sooner to free up my time for the highest-impact work. Some of my best hires are my virtual assistants; they truly save me so much time, and the business couldn't run without them. Related: Tired of 'Culturally Obtuse' Products, This 27-Year-Old Took His Side Hustle From $1,000 a Month to 7-Figure Revenue: 'Pick the Right Opportunity to Pursue' When it comes to this specific business, what is something you've found particularly challenging and/or surprising that people who get into this type of work should be prepared for, but likely aren't? Retail distribution sounds exciting, but it is incredibly operationally intense. From logistics coordination to managing distributor deductions to planning for promotions, it is a constant challenge. It can be expensive to get your product on the shelf, and that's just the beginning. The real fun comes in making sure the product is actually selling off the shelf. Can you recall a specific instance when something went very wrong? How did you fix it? We had a few operational hiccups very early on. One nightmare was when we received our latest packaging order from our supplier, and there were holes in the packaging near the resealable zipper. We didn't realize this until after we'd packed thousands of products. Luckily, we were able to expedite a new order of packaging and tested it thoroughly, and now we are hypervigilant about all suppliers we work with. How long did it take you to see consistent monthly revenue? How much did the side hustle earn? Since I didn't go the farmers market path, we tested product-market fit by putting the product online and seeing if it sold. Within our first two days of launch, we sold over $10,000 worth of olive snacks. I started seeing consistent revenue only after the first year, once our products landed in major retailers and demand was a bit more predictable. Related: 'You Can Go Viral Overnight': This College Student and His Brother Spent $5,000 to Start a Side Hustle — Now Their Brand's Making Over $175 Million What does growth and revenue look like now? Freestyle is now in about 5,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Target, CVS, Harris Teeter and Giant Food, and we're just getting started. We have seen strong retail velocity and six-figure monthly sales, with growth driven by expanded retail distribution and a high repeat purchase rate in our existing retail footprint. How much time do you spend working on your business on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? How do you structure that time? What does a typical day or week of work look like for you? This started as a side hustle but quickly turned into a full-time job and more. I now work on Freestyle full-time, often from my home office and sometimes out of our garage, which has become overflow storage. I work pretty much seven days a week, with the weekends being lighter. I love to use the weekends for catching up on admin work or internal projects and conducting store visits. My days vary but usually include a mix of operations, sales outreach and strategy, content creation and team management. I also try to carve out time for creative and strategic thinking so I do not get stuck in execution mode. What do you enjoy most about running this business? I love creating something from nothing and seeing people genuinely enjoy it. It never gets old when someone discovers Freestyle Snacks and shares what an essential snack it has become for them, whether they are diabetic, looking for a low-calorie snack or just craving a good olive. The best is all of the folks we've converted to the dark green side, who used to hate olives until they tried Freestyle! Related: The 'Hustle' He Started Out of His Station Wagon Became a Nationwide Business That's About to Hit $300 Million: 'Everything We Do Is Pretty Simple' What is your best piece of specific, actionable business advice?

Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster. I like to stay grounded by focusing on being 1% better each day. These incremental improvements to the business truly add up to something incredible.

AI Agents Are Rewriting the Rules of Retail — Even for the Little Guys
Entrepreneurs need to learn how to use AI-powered digital agents so they can personalize service, automate tasks and reach more customers. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Successful small businesses have always found ways to keep up with new technologies and shifting consumer habits. Now, a fresh wave of innovation is arriving: agentic commerce. Thanks to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and machine learning, this new concept could transform how consumers and businesses connect, especially for small companies looking to grow. Why agentic commerce is the new digital assistant Agentic commerce refers to a system where smart digital agents conduct transactions for people. These agents can compare prices, suggest products, make purchases and even negotiate deals, all while learning from what users like and prefer. As virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant become everyday tools, the idea of automated, intelligent buying is quickly moving from sci-fi to reality. With agentic commerce, small businesses can deliver highly personalized experiences, something that used to be the domain of large companies. This kind of customization helps build loyalty and encourages repeat visits. Take, for example, a local bakery I frequent. Last fall, the owner started using a simple AI-based ordering system. I placed my usual order for sourdough, and the system suggested a new pumpkin muffin that was popular that week. I gave it a try (it was delicious), and now, every time there's a new seasonal treat, I get a friendly recommendation. It's a small touch, but it keeps me coming back. Related: No More 'Press 1 for Service' — Here's How to Bring Phone Systems into the Age of Personalization Running more efficiently One of the biggest advantages of agentic commerce is automation. For small businesses with limited staff or resources, AI agents can handle repetitive jobs like managing inventory, processing orders and answering common customer questions. This frees up owners and employees to concentrate on growth and strategy, while also keeping costs down. A friend who runs a neighborhood hardware store shared how overwhelming inventory management can get, especially during the spring rush. After adopting an AI tool, he jokes that he spends more time on the shop floor helping customers and less time counting screws in the back room. "It's like having a second pair of hands," he told me. "I can focus on building relationships instead of checking stock levels all day." Reaching more customers Agentic commerce can also help businesses break out of their local markets. AI-powered agents can serve customers in different languages and time zones, making it possible to sell to people all over the world. This global reach used to be reserved for big companies, but now even small shops can compete on a much larger stage. Not long ago, I met a jewelry designer at a craft fair who told me her online sales had doubled in a year. Her secret? An AI-driven chatbot on her website that could answer questions and take orders in Spanish, French and German. She said, "I've shipped necklaces to places I'd never even heard of before — it's wild." Technology truly does open doors. Related: 5 Powerful Ways to Streamline Your Work Processes with AI How it works in real life Picture a neighborhood coffee shop using agentic commerce. At the start of the day, an AI agent tweaks menu prices based on what's popular locally and automatically reorders top-selling beans using Visa's virtual cards. Whether customers place orders online or at the counter, an AI assistant helps them personalize drinks, recommends a pastry to go with their coffee and processes payments securely with a Visa credential. Throughout the day, the AI tracks what's selling best and lets the owner know if it's time to run a flash sale on slower-moving items. By closing time, the team has served more customers with fewer mistakes, leaving staff free to focus on hospitality. What to watch out for Of course, adopting agentic commerce isn't without challenges. Protecting customer data is crucial, so strong cybersecurity and clear data policies are a must. There's also an upfront investment of time and money to get AI systems up and running, and staff may need training to use new tools effectively. A restaurateur I know initially worried about data privacy with her new reservation and ordering system. She made transparency a priority by putting up a sign explaining how customer information is stored and used. "People appreciate the honesty," she noticed, "and it builds trust." Small businesses considering agentic commerce should look for trusted technology partners with expertise in AI and machine learning. Collaborating with experienced providers can make the transition smoother and provide valuable support along the way. At Visa, we're dedicated to helping small businesses succeed with the latest technology. Our programs are designed to give business owners both the tools and knowledge they need to make the most of agentic commerce, from cutting-edge solutions to educational resources. Preparing for the future Agentic commerce is still evolving, but small businesses that get on board early will be in the best position to benefit. The keys to success will be focusing on personalization, efficiency and expanding your reach beyond traditional boundaries. Here are a few steps to help you start your AI journey: Take stock of your current technology Define what you want to automate or personalize Find a reliable AI partner Run a pilot project before rolling out changes more broadly Evaluate the results and adjust as needed The world of commerce is changing fast. Small businesses that embrace agentic commerce today can unlock new possibilities for growth, innovation and long-term success in the digital age.
