Welcome to Perennial Gale – the new home for our Friday newsletter. Its name isn’t a reference to this weekend’s inclement weather forecast, but a quote from Joseph Schumpeter’s description of capitalism as “the perennial gale of creative destruction.” His observation in 1942 was that capitalism is neither stable nor static, but constantly shaped by innovation, entrepreneurship and change.

As is increasingly the case, our cousins across the pond managed to grab the headlines this week. Specifically Vice President JD Vance, who told world leaders at this week’s AI summit in Paris that the “AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety.”To some people’s surprise, the US refused to sign the international AI declaration.

His restaurants grace the world’s primest locations, his name is synonymous with innovative Japanese cuisine, and his partnership with Robert De Niro set the highest of standards in combining food with fame.

"My biggest nightmare is the idea that we would all speak the same language, wear the same clothes, eat the same food, and worship the same Gods,” says Lulu Luchaire, founder of Ondalinda, after two minutes into my first chat with her. There’s no time for small talk – things get deep quickly.

Nov 21, 2024 | forbes.com | Philip Salter

Entrepreneurs are the engine of economic growth, but they’re also human. Running a business puts unique – and sometimes profound – pressures on people. While these challenges are well recognized, robust data to truly understand their full impact has been lacking – until now. In Fueling Founder Resilience, hundreds of entrepreneurs were surveyed to gather data on their mental health and experiences of starting a business.

In the UK this week, the window closed for businesses, think tanks and lobby groups to submit their representations to the Treasury ahead of the Autumn Budget. This is a big one – with a new Government and a new Chancellor wanting to make their mark. While prior to the election, most entrepreneurs wanted to see a change of government, with a £22bn 'black hole to fill this year, many business owners are worried that Labour will be looking to them to help make up the shortfall.

A few years ago, after we’d released our first Job Creators report, we invited the foreign-born founders of the UK’s fastest growing companies for a series of roundtables to talk about their decision behind choosing the UK to start and scale their business. While they were an eclectic bunch, they had a few things in common.
