From Diplomacy to Entrepreneurship: The Inspiring Journey of Duden Freeman

As a first-generation immigrant and naturalized American, Duden Freeman had an early life marked by moving countries and attending international schools. This environment, surrounded by children of diplomats and multinational executives, instilled in Freeman the idea that traveling, living, and working overseas was normal. In hindsight, this experience was a privilege that deeply influenced a diverse career, which spanned various roles and continents, ultimately leading to the U.S. diplomatic corps.

The Greatest Generation’s Squandered Legacy

By DARON ACEMOGLU (Project Syndicate) CAMBRIDGE – To the interwar generation of the first half of the twentieth century, today’s crises would have appeared rather ordinary. They had seen much worse: the two bloodiest wars in human history, mass unemployment and destitution created by the Great Depression (which still dwarfs this century’s recessions), and far more serious threats to democracy in the form of Soviet communism, fascism, and Hitler’s National Socialism.

An Hour-by-hour Look at How Turkey's Attempted Coup Unfolded One Year Ago

ISTANBUL (AP) — A year ago Saturday, a group of Turkish soldiers using tanks, warplanes and helicopters launched a plot to overthrow Turkey's president and government. The coup attempt failed, but the fallout continues a year later. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan swiftly blamed his one-time ally, U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is in exile in the U.S. and denies the allegations that he was behind the coup. The two had a public falling out in 2013, when Gulen's organization was declared a terror organization and a clampdown began.

How Chobani Won the Greek Yogurt War with Experiential Marketing

Ten years ago, Greek yogurt represented less than 1% of U.S. yogurt sales. Today, it's almost half of the total market. What changed? In a word, Chobani. Launched by Hamdi Ulukaya in 2007, the Idaho-based brand introduced Greek yogurt to the American palate. Chobani now controls 38% of the Greek category, significantly outpacing former heavyweights like Yoplait and Dannon. The man responsible for Chobani's rise, perhaps just as much as the brand's founder, is CMO Peter McGuinness. Hired in 2013, McGuinness saw that the Greek yogurt market had become oversaturated.
