In 2017, "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary recounted a moment when he advised a young entrepreneur to prioritize his $5 million startup over his romantic relationship.
What Happened: Speaking to Inc. about the real cost of building a business, O'Leary warned that entrepreneurship often comes with personal sacrifices many underestimate.
"There is no soccer game on Saturday. There's no Sunday dinner with the family," he said. "Because some guy in China or in India, or some woman out there, is kicking your a&#x2A;&#x2A;, because we&#8217;re in a global competition."
He recalled a memorable moment during a late-night class when a student shared his dilemma: his fiancée had asked him to choose between their relationship and his thriving compliance tech startup.

The business, still run from his dorm, was already generating $5 million in annual revenue. The class waited for O'Leary's response. "Let's be pragmatic," he told the student. "Which is easier to replace — your business or your fiancée?"
The crowd went silent.
O'Leary defended his advice by highlighting that successful relationships with entrepreneurs require a deep understanding. "If you&#8217;re going to get in a relationship with an entrepreneur&#8230; you have to understand what drives them," he said.
He asserted that building a successful company requires unwavering commitment, resilience and often, personal compromise. "It's not for everybody," O'Leary said. "Don't do it if you don't have the stamina to get kicked around and driven into the ground and get up and do it again."

Why It's Important: Previously, in an episode of The Playbook, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban dismissed the idea of work-life balance for those aiming to excel.
He gave the example of his own journey, stating that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/45939593/mark-cuban-challenges-concept-of-work-life-balance-for-high-achievers-not-working-would-be-a-sacrifice">didn't take a vacation for seven years</a> after starting his first business in his 20s, spending those early years learning to code in a rundown apartment.
Former President Barack Obama also believes that achieving excellence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45709843/barack-obama-once-said-work-life-balance-isnt-always-possible-if-you-want-to-be-successful-you-can-have-it-all-but-you-cant-have-it-all-at-once">often requires sacrificing work-life balance</a>, at least temporarily. In an appearance on The Pivot Podcast, he said success in fields like politics, business, or sports demands periods of intense, unbalanced effort.
Obama recalled the grueling 18-month stretch of his first presidential campaign, during which his wife Michelle Obama managed their family while working full-time. After becoming president, he prioritized family dinners at 6:30 p.m. daily to restore balance and stay grounded.

Kevin O'Leary Once Told A Young Founder To Pick His $5 Million A Year Startup Over His Demanding Fiancée — 'Which Is Easier To Replace?'

The Iranian regime faces a potential collapse following recent military confrontations. The situation has been exacerbated by U.S. actions targeting Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, significantly weakening Iran&#8217;s strategic position.
What Happened: The Iranian regime is nearing collapse, according to economist Nouriel Roubini, following a series of military confrontations. He said in an op-ed penned in Project Syndicate on Monday that the destabilization stems from the U.S. targeting Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities, which have significantly weakened Iran&#8217;s strategic position.

Since October 7, 2023, Iran has been involved in conflicts with Israel, which retaliated against Iranian-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. The situation escalated when Israel attacked Iran&#8217;s nuclear sites, prompting U.S. intervention to ensure the complete destruction of these facilities.
Despite Iran&#8217;s attempts to counterattack, its military capabilities have been severely diminished. The regime&#8217;s focus has shifted to survival, with its ability to threaten U.S. forces or disrupt regional energy supplies now limited. 
&#8220;The regime is focusing on its survival, but its collapse is likely in the coming months,&#8221; wrote Roubini.
The Iranian government&#8217;s internal struggles are compounded by economic hardships, including rampant inflation and poverty.
Roubini, popularly known as Dr. Doom, highlights that the Iranian populace, burdened by economic mismanagement and geopolitical failures, may soon rise up against the regime. This potential uprising is seen as a path to long-term stability in the Middle East, with the possibility of improved relations between Israel and its neighbors.

Why It Matters: President Donald Trump announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46065102/trump-says-there-is-a-ceasefire-between-isreal-and-iran">ceasefire between Israel and Iran</a> on Monday, marking a significant step towards de-escalation. Trump praised both nations for their resilience and intelligence in avoiding a prolonged conflict.
The State Department issued a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/06/46045416/us-issues-worldwide-caution-after-strikes-on-irans-nuclear-sites-state-department-warns-of-airspace-closures-travel-chaos-and-rising-threats-to-americans-abroad">Worldwide Caution security alert</a> on Sunday, a day after U.S. airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, warning American citizens to remain vigilant while traveling abroad.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified that while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46018790/benjamin-netanyahu-says-he-didnt-present-regime-change-as-a-goal-in-iran-but-it-could-be-the-result">regime change</a> in Iran was not Israel&#8217;s goal, it could be an outcome of the ongoing tensions. This statement underscores the complex geopolitical landscape, where the Iranian people&#8217;s role in determining their leadership is emphasized.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46010064/ayatollah-assassination-discussion-rejected-by-putin-i-do-not-even-want-to-discuss-this-possibility">rejected discussions</a> about the potential assassination of Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, highlighting the unity of the Iranian people around their leaders. This unity could play a crucial role in the regime&#8217;s survival amidst external pressures.

The restaurant sector could be the next to be disrupted by rising use cases <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45316296/soundhounds-q1-fueled-by-polaris-strategic-acquisitions-and-record-pipeline-despite-missing-revenue-expectations">for artificial intelligence.</a>
Here's a look at how Dine Brands Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>) is embracing the technology.
What Happened: If you're one of the consumers who go to restaurants and order the same thing, or a consumer who can't decide what to order, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> could soon play a role in recommending menu selections during your next visit.
Dine Brands is planning to roll out artificial intelligence in its restaurants to help with menu recommendations and boost sales.
Called its "personalization engine," the AI-powered technology was built using the Q generative AI assistant from Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/applebees-and-ihop-plan-to-introduce-ai-in-restaurants-61770ca5?mod=rss_Technology">reported </a>by the Wall Street Journal.
Using generative AI, the personalization engine automatically recommends items to customers based on their past ordering history, using the company's loyalty program. For those without an ordering history, the recommendation could include frequently purchased items as recommendations.
The technology could be used to upsell additional products or recommend more expensive products. The AI recommendations could be added to servers' tablets and tabletop tablets that customers order from in the future.
Along with helping customers make food decisions and place their orders, Dine Brands is using AI technology to help detect when tables are ready to be cleared and for managers to help with day-to-day operations such as staffing.

Why It's Important: Dine Brands is the latest restaurant company to embrace AI technology. Other companies, such as those in the fast food sector, have been using technology for drive-thru services and other operations.
McDonald's and Yum Brands are named in the Wall Street Journal report as restaurants embracing AI inside restaurant locations.
AI can be used to help with staffing, boost productivity, forecast food items and inventory control, all items that could save restaurants money.
Companies such as SoundHound AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) are also jumping in, similar to the Dine Brands technology, by giving recommendations to consumers on products based on ordering history and popularity.
Wendy's is also named in the report with reference to its past plans to use AI technology for drive-thrus and for dynamic pricing, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/02/37407897/wendys-clarifies-dynamic-pricing-comments-after-public-outcry-elizabeth-warren-criticism">received severe backlash.</a>
Artificial intelligence is disrupting many sectors and could replace human jobs in some areas, including the restaurant sector. Dine Brands and others are likely balancing the potential positives from AI that could help with customer satisfaction, while also enjoying benefits like higher sales and lower costs.
DIN Price Action: Dine Brands stock closed Monday at $27.15 versus a 52-week trading range of $18.63 to $38.68. Dine Brand stock is down 9.8% year-to-date in 2025.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social social media on Monday to declare that Israel and Iran have agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire" ahead of what he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114734934153569653">termed the "12 Day War."</a> 
According to Trump, the cessation of hostilities would unfold in a phased manner: approximately 6 hours after his announcement, Iran would initiate a 12-hour ceasefire, followed by Israel 12 hours later. At the 24‑hour mark, he proclaimed, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/22bcdc063ea2e465f488cefb667517df?utm_source=chatgpt.com">"the War will be considered, ENDED!"</a>
Trump expressed deep admiration for both countries' "Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence" in avoiding a prolonged and devastating conflict. "This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/evin-prison-iran-israel-war-us-latest-news-mhnbjpr70?utm_source=chatgpt.com">God bless the United States… GOD BLESS THE WORLD!"</a>
His announcement follows a wave of escalations earlier in the week, including U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iran's retaliatory missile fire on a U.S. base in Qatar — an attack which, notably, reportedly caused zero casualties because <a href="https://apnews.com/article/22bcdc063ea2e465f488cefb667517df?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Iran gave warning befor</a>e, according to AP News. Trump even "thanked Iran for giving us early notice," <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-oil-strait-hormuz-regime-change-35eb69d501e5e4fa00463009d539996e?utm_source=chatgpt.com">calling the gesture peace‑oriented</a>.
So far, neither Israel nor Iran has publicly confirmed the ceasefire terms beyond Trump's announcement. Still, the White House reposted his message, heralding it as a milestone that could <a href="https://apnews.com/article/22bcdc063ea2e465f488cefb667517df?utm_source=chatgpt.com">halt a dangerous regional escalation</a>.

There is a line in the hit song "Money" by Pink Floyd that says, "New car, caviar, four four-star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team." New York Jets Owner Woody Johnson can certainly relate, but it appears that one football club is not enough for him.<a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/soccer/woody-johnson-jimmy-butler-could-save-crystal-palace"> Foxsports.com</a> is reporting that a group including Johnson has launched a bid to purchase English Premier League soccer team Crystal Palace.
If the bid is successful, Johnson would join a growing group of American businessmen who own stakes in soccer clubs in England's top league. The licensing and merchandising rights deals for English soccer are worth billions of dollars per year, and numbers like that always attract<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45938888/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-69"> American investors</a>. That explains why Johnson isn't alone in the bidding. He's competing against another group that includes NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler.&nbsp;

Crystal Palace is a study in contrast. The club just won the prestigious FA Cup, which earned them a spot in the Europa League, a continental cup competition that pits many of Europe's top clubs against each other. The FA Cup is the first major trophy in the club's history. However, every rose has its thorns, and Crystal Palace is finding that out right now.
Europe's soccer regulators have strict requirements, and one of them prevents teams with the same owners from competing in the same competition. One of Crystal Palace's owners, John Textor, owns shares in French Ligue 1 club Lyon, which has also qualified for Europa League play.&nbsp; The only way around this rule is for the owner to place their shares of one of their two teams in a blind<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-invest-in-real-estate"> trust</a>.
Textor had until March 1 to complete that transition, but he didn't, meaning Crystal Palace can't compete in Europe. However, he's offered to sell his entire stake in Crystal Palace to keep the team eligible. This is where the competing bids from Johnson and Butler's groups come into play. It's easy to understand why there is so much interest in Crystal Palace.

First, Crystal Palace's London location creates lucrative licensing and sponsorship opportunities. Second, the club's soccer academy is very well respected. The academy keeps the club stocked with a solid talent base and helps Crystal Palace remain competitive. It also helps the club generate an additional revenue stream through player transfers.
European soccer clubs typically move players between teams for financial considerations, instead of player trades, which are more common in America's sports leagues. Transfer fees for top players like Crystal Palace's Eberiche Eze can exceed $100 million. Last year, Crystal Palace sold home-grown Michael Olise to Bayern Munich for&nbsp; nearly $60 million. That's why heavyweights like Johnson are interested.
The current uncertainty has left Crystal Palace fans anxiously awaiting a resolution. Competing in Europe would be a historic achievement for the club, but that's impossible until the current ownership issue is resolved. This is why all parties involved are moving as quickly as possible to achieve a resolution that allows Crystal Palace to play one of soccer's grand stages.&nbsp;

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is turning to luxury beauty products as a way to offset the impact of tariffs during its upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46062022/protests-rock-jeff-bezos-gondola-want-to-rent-venice-for-a-wedding-pay-more-tax">Prime Day sale.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Under pressure from the new tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump, some sellers who source their goods from China and other countries facing high tariffs are choosing not to participate in Prime Day in order to protect their profit margins.&nbsp;
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46055895/ast-spacemobile-stock-downgraded-rocket-lab-prepares-electron-launch-space-stock-countdown?utm_source=articleShare"> AST SpaceMobile Stock Downgraded, Rocket Lab Prepares Electron Launch: Space Stock Countdown</a>
As a result, Amazon is placing greater emphasis on its Premium Beauty category, which features high-margin cosmetics and luxury brands, to help make up for potential revenue shortfalls and maintain positive consumer sentiment.
Melis del Rey, general manager for health and beauty for Amazon U.S. stores, told Reuters that the company has been &#8220;very proactive&#8221; in determining the impact of tariffs on the premium brands.&nbsp;
&#8220;At a high level, most of the premium brands&#8217; sourcing strategies are local, and therefore, the (tariff) impact is less imminent,&#8221; del Rey said.
Why It Matters: Prime Day, one of Amazon&#8217;s largest annual sales events, will be stretched to four days from July 8 to July 11, 2025. 
The company is betting that the strong growth in its Premium Beauty segment — where brands from Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) such as Clinique; Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLPX#NASDAQ">OLPX</a>) and L'Oreal's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRLCF#OTC">LRLCF</a>) Urban Decay are now prominent — will help buffer the financial effects of the tariffs.
Luxury beauty products tend to have higher profit margins, are less likely to be heavily discounted compared to electronics or apparel and are often still considered essential purchases by consumers, even during tough economic times.

An online marketplace company bought the old 560-pound Twitter sign and recently blew it up.
What Happened: Since Musk's acquisition of Twitter, many items from the old social media company have<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44386585/twitter-blue-bird-logo-from-hq-up-for-auction-heres-how-much-social-media-history-could-set-you-back"> been auctioned off, </a>including the 12-foot-tall Twitter blue bird logo that was on top of the company's San Francisco headquarters.
The old Twitter logo sign, known to some as Larry, was bought for $34,000 by online marketplace company Ditchit as reported by <a href="https://www.engadget.com/social-media/the-560-pound-twitter-sign-met-a-fiery-end-in-a-nevada-desert-140032860.html">Engadget</a>. The company originally bought the sign and had it relocated from San Francisco to its office in Orange County to celebrate the history of Twitter.
"The initial thought of purchasing the sign was driven by nostalgia," Ditchit PR Director James Deluca told Engadget. "Everyone in the office is a tech enthusiast, and we thought it would be cool to own a piece of history."
Nostalgia turned to promotion with employees then deciding to blow up the sign, a decision Deluca said happened organically after the purchase.
Ditchit moved the sign to a desert near Las Vegas, Nevada at an outdoor adventure park that allows for visitors to shoot machine guns. A controlled explosion of the sign happened as a promotional effort to bring attention to the online marketplace company.

The company did not disclose how much they spent on the promotional stunt other than the $34,000 for the auction win. Deluca said the stunt was a "considerable investment."
Along with the logo purchase, Ditchit also rented four Tesla Cybertrucks and hired a production team to film the explosion from all angles.
"We wanted to really make a statement and make the scene as dramatic as possible."

What's Next: Ditchit is using the explosion to bring awareness to the company and its operations. The company is seeking to draw parallels to Musk's purchase of Twitter and what it hopes to accomplish in the online marketplace sector.
"Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X to support free expression. At Ditchit, we're doing the same for local marketplaces," a <a href="https://x.com/ditchitapp/status/1934972785387819336">video </a>of the event reads. "Today's marketplace platforms are filled with ads, fees, and restrictions that hurt users and local economies."
Ditchit said it is free to use and unlike other marketplaces has no ads. The company's app is available on iOS and Google Play.
The online marketplace company is also selling pieces of the Twitter blue bird sign that were retrieved after the explosion, with proceeds being donated to the Center for American Entrepreneurship.
As far as promotions to kickstart your new business go, blowing up the logo of a company that rebranded wouldn't usually be the way to go, but given the notoriety of the Twitter blue bird logo and the company using the Musk disruption parallel, the Ditchit name could quickly become more well-known.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning American Financial Group Stock In The Last 5 Years

Investor Kevin O'Leary has an explicit message for CEOs and entrepreneurs wondering if artificial intelligence is a threat to their jobs: It isn't, as long as they learn how to use it. In fact, he believes it could be the biggest opportunity of their careers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;It&#8217;ll Make Everybody Richer&#8217;</h2>
&#8220;I think it&#8217;ll make everybody richer—if they learn how to use the tool,&#8221; O'Leary said in a recent Forbes Middle East <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz6nufY2b6c">interview</a>. The longtime investor and &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star says AI isn't about replacing CEOs. It's about making them more effective, more productive, and potentially 10 times wealthier.

According to O'Leary, AI is already being used across functions like sales, marketing, social media, and customer support. His team is developing a product called Wonder Engine, which packages the best AI tools from the cloud into a single system for small and midsize businesses.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Wine To Watches To Real Estate</h2>
O'Leary gave examples from his own companies. In his wine business, he uses AI to predict which varietals will be most popular in each state, so he can stock the right inventory and reduce waste. He also built WonderCare, an AI-powered global insurance platform for high-end watch collectors.&nbsp;
And in the United Arab Emirates, he partnered with a real estate developer who created an AI-integrated smart home system that actually learns from how people live.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why He's Betting On Data Centers</h2>
To O'Leary, the real AI race centers on infrastructure more than software. &#8220;They won't get there without data centers,&#8221; he said, pointing out that demand for AI power in the U.S. is outpacing supply.

O'Leary has built a reputation for being frank, especially when it comes to business performance. He says the biggest mistake people make with money is getting too emotional. He favors execution, data, and results over charisma or hype. And that applies to AI, too.
&#8220;There&#8217;s two generations: people that know how to use it and those that don&#8217;t,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said, emphasizing the importance of re-education and daily use of AI tools to stay competitive.

Vanguard has made a sweeping cut in fees across its European fixed income UCITS ETF range that takes effect on July 1, 2025. The change will affect 26 share classes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">seven ETFs</a> and is likely to save investors some $3.5 million per year.
Consistent with its long-standing tradition of low-cost investing, Vanguard fee cuts will be applied across a wide range of fixed income strategies — global bonds, U.S. Treasuries, UK gilts, emerging market sovereign debt and euro- and U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds. Hedged and unhedged share classes both fall under the cost-cutting program.

The updated ongoing charges figure (OCF) will position a number of Vanguard&#8217;s ETFs as among the lowest-cost across Europe for core fixed income exposures. For instance, the Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF (hedged share class) will have its OCF reduced from 0.10% to 0.08%, the Vanguard USD Treasury Bond UCITS ETF&#8216;s unhedged share class will be reduced from 0.07% to 0.05%, and the hedged share class will be lowered from 0.12% to 0.10%. 
In the same manner, the Vanguard U.K. Gilt UCITS ETF and the Vanguard USD Emerging Markets Government Bond UCITS ETF (unhedged) will also see cut OCFs. Corporate bond exposures like the Vanguard EUR Corporate Bond UCITS ETF, the Vanguard ESG EUR Corporate Bond UCITS ETF and the Vanguard USD Corporate Bond UCITS ETF will also have fee reductions
Vanguard reiterated that its purpose is to serve all investors through the delivery of fair value and the highest chance of investment success. With these recent reductions, the company further reinforces its status as Europe&#8217;s lowest-cost provider of average fixed-income ETF range.
&#8220;In investing, you get what you don&#8217;t pay for,&#8221; the company said, pointing out that cheaper fees traditionally equate to improved net returns for investors.
As global central banks continue to rebalance interest rate policies and markets continue to react to macroeconomic changes, Vanguard&#8217;s fee cuts are likely to entice both institutional and individual investors looking for cost-effective fixed income investments.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $116.97, after a 1.36% increase. Over the past month, Duke Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) stock increased by 0.51%, and in the past year, by 16.74%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750716075_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Duke Energy P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.21 in the Electric Utilities industry, Duke Energy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 19.15. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750716075_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
