What does that actually mean? And why should you give up your time to watch and listen? Well, Monday to Thursday every week, I’ll sit down with my award-winning colleagues across Fortune’s newsroom to discuss their coverage of the biggest business stories. I’ll also welcome external guests, in the form of CEOs, thinkers, and the buzziest founders, for exclusive interviews. Whether it be a new development in the AI race, or a consequential IPO, we’ll break down the story and explain why it deserves your attention. 

But here’s what really makes Fortune Daily different: We’ll also explore what each story means for you. How does it impact your job, your finances, and the way you make decisions across all areas of your life? We’re all bombarded with information 24/7. Fortune Daily is here, Monday to Thursday, to help you decipher which news to trust, what to focus on, and how to turn the headlines into actionable takeaways.  

Case in point: This week, I’ll be speaking to my colleague Kristin Stoller about her interview with Jeff Bezos, which covers our latest issue of Fortune. For the first time ever, Amazon, the juggernaut that Bezos founded in 1994, tops the Fortune 500 list, knocking Walmart off the No. 1 spot after 10 years. Kristin and I will chat about how this happened and what Amazon’s future looks like (a clue: lots of AI investment), and we’ll discuss what Bezos’s remarkable story tells us about what it takes to be a successful founder and leader. She also takes us behind the scenes of how on Earth you get the world’s third-richest person to take your phone call.  

Also, this week, I’ll talk to Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell about her recent sitdown with Pershing Square Capital Management founder Bill Ackman, and Fortune Leadership Editor Ruth Umoh will take us inside the minefield that is a CEO succession race in 2026.
