When people talk about business growth, the conversation usually centers around the visible levers that naturally attract attention, such as marketing campaigns, hiring initiatives, expansion plans, capital raises, and sales performance, because those areas are easy to measure, easy to showcase, and easy to celebrate. What often gets overlooked, however, is that many of the businesses that sustain growth over time are not winning solely because of larger budgets or louder branding, but because they have built something far more durable beneath the surface: trust and transparency, not much different than a solid relationship. In a marketplace where customers have…

A company can shrink its quarterly loss by 95%, beat its revenue outlook, and still watch its stock plunge 13% before dinner. Earnings season has a wicked sense of humour. It also reminds investors that the market grades the future, not the report card management just handed in. For a commerce platform like Lightspeed Commerce (TSX:LSPD), I’d watch three moving parts.

Key Takeaways Peanut butter raises are small, across-the-board increases that ignore individual performance. According to a new Payscale report, 36% of U.S. employers used peanut butter raises this year. These flat raises run the risk of eroding morale and motivation, as high performers see little financial recognition for outsized contributions. Top-performing employees are giving it their all and expect to be compensated better than employees who aren’t driving results. Now, a new Payscale report shows that some employers are trading merit-based pay bumps in favor of peanut butter raises, a controversial method for increasing pay that spreads raises evenly to…

Update 8/10/26: Reader report that Discover cards will only waive $1 once migrated to Capital One. Did you know that some banks will waive your credit card bill if it just has a very small balance on it? Small Balance Waiver With many credit cards, if the balance on your statement is small – usually 99 cents or less – the bank will forgive it; it’s too small to ask you to pay. Usually it shows up on the bill as a “credit adjustment” or something similar. Here’s the data that we’ve found so far on how much will be…

“They came to us highly recommended by an alumni CEO that we had already backed,” Rist told CoinDesk in an interview. “So, there was a lot of trust there, and this CEO said, ‘You got to meet these guys’. They were serial entrepreneurs coming out of South Africa. They’d never built businesses outside of South Africa, but they were hungry. They were relentless.”Despite enjoying a sturdy exit, Rist said he feels mixed emotions toward the Mastercard acquisition, having been part of the whole BVNK journey. “It’s actually sad to sign the papers, almost like sending your son off to boarding…
