Following the 12-team reveal on Dec. 8, ESPN college football analyst and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. The company you founded is turning a healthy profit and has become a market leader, so you’ve decided to sell it and are expecting a respectable return.

A white-tailed jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii) in the snowAUSLOOS Henry/Hemis/Alamy Days with snow covering the ground are set to become less common across much of the continental US due to climate change.

Wielding a shiny chrome scoop, Michael Rosenthal leans over and digs into the powder in a half-filled 55-gallon drum. He holds up the scoop and takes a pinch in his fingers and smooshes it to show me the texture. It’s like talc, but it’s an odd, beautiful shade of pale green-gray. On shelves all around us are huge white bags of the stuff, each weighing a metric ton. The fact that this particular powder exists at all is basically a miracle. That’s the inescapable conclusion for me at this point after a sort of impromptu, peripatetic mini-seminar conducted by Rosenthal…
