]]> Fortune Lydia.Randall@fortune.com How Tara Keeney's Walking Business Show Blew up in 9 Months | Fortune Daily In January, Tara Keeney quit her corporate job, bought a $10 microphone, and decided she wanted to interview the world's biggest founders. Ten months later, her walking interview series, "Look Who I Found," is a hit, with each conversation cut into 90-second social clips. She's walked with Oprah, Kim Kardashian, Airbnb cofounder and CEO Brian Chesky, and Snap Inc. founder and CEO Evan Spiegel. Her pitch is simple: "Let's go for a walk." Keeney joins host Ellie Austin to talk about why she thinks entrepreneurship needs a rebrand, how she runs a one-woman business with an AI C-suite, and her plan to turn the show into the first building block of a billion-dollar media company. They also take on a big question: what does the rise of creators like Keeney mean for traditional business journalism, which asks hard questions and holds leaders to account? Also in this episode: The Beetaloo Basin breakthrough: Fortune Energy Editor Jordan Blum explains how this Australian region's similarity to Pennsylvania's shale country helped unlock energy resources after a decades-long search. The AI-era HR chief: CEOs want HR leaders who can decide which jobs AI should automate. Editorial Director Kristin Stoller explains why HR candidates are expected to have twice as many skills as a decade ago, and what that means for the job market and how companies are run.

]]> 1085 Anthropic Is Going Public. Here's What Its Filing Reveals | Fortune Daily Anthropic has filed to go public, and for the first time we can see its finances. The company behind Claude reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026. That's more than 13 times what it made a year earlier. It also posted an $80.7 billion net loss, one of the biggest half-year losses ever. About $72.4 billion of that loss comes from an accounting charge tied to convertible notes. Anthropic plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, and recent reports say it is targeting a valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. Fortune Senior Editor Beatrice Nolan, who wrote the story, breaks down what the filing shows about Anthropic's growth, how its seven cofounders keep control, its dependence on a handful of big customers and the Amazon, Google and Microsoft cloud marketplaces, and its own warnings about the risks of advanced AI. Also in this episode: The Big Number: Companies are using more AI than ever, but they aren't spending more on it, because the price keeps dropping. Ramp lead economist Ara Kharazian explains. "SKI-ing," or spending the kids' inheritance: Some retired boomers are spending their savings on travel and experiences.

On this episode of Fortune Daily, we talk with Haley Sacks, better known as Mrs. Dow Jones. She used her comedy training to build a personal-finance business with more than two million followers, a 100,000-reader newsletter, an online school, a podcast with Sony Music, and a New York Times bestseller, Future Rich Person. Sacks explains why she thinks the old money playbook is broken for anyone under 45. She walks through "action money," the difference between spending to look rich and spending to be rich, and why women should negotiate for equity, bonuses, and deferred compensation, not just salary. She also talks about the responsibility of giving money advice to millions without a financial license, how she handles brand deals, and where AI should and shouldn't help with your finances. Plus, Fortune Senior Editorial Director Kristin Stoller sits down with WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike. She's retiring after 15 seasons while still near the top of the league, after leading the players' union through a landmark labor deal.

She walks through "action money," the difference between spending to look rich and spending to be rich, and why women should negotiate for equity, bonuses, and deferred compensation, not just salary. She also talks about the responsibility of giving money advice to millions without a financial license, how she handles brand deals, and where AI should and shouldn't help with your finances. Plus, Fortune Senior Editorial Director Kristin Stoller sits down with WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike. She's retiring after 15 seasons while still near the top of the league, after leading the players' union through a landmark labor deal. Next, she's joining Project B, a new global league that travels from city to city like Formula One.

]]> 1150 The Return of Uber’s Ousted Founder | Fortune Daily Nine years after being forced out of Uber by his own investors, Travis Kalanick is back in the spotlight—and he isn’t apologizing. Once viewed as the poster child for Silicon Valley's unchecked "tech bro" culture, Kalanick has resurfaced with Atoms, a bold new venture leveraging AI, automation, and robotics to prepare and deliver food without human intervention. But his comeback also signals a massive cultural vibe shift: why is Silicon Valley celebrating the founder it once treated as a cautionary tale? Fortune Finance & Crypto Editor Jeff John Roberts joins Fortune Daily to unpack what changed—Kalanick, the technology, or the venture capitalists writing the checks.

After cycling through five CEOs in five years, Gap Inc. is betting on CEO Richard Dickson—the former Mattel executive who helped revive Barbie—to restore one of America’s most iconic brands.
