At Worth, we believe that the most valuable journeys arenโ€™t just about the destinationsโ€”theyโ€™re about transformation. This issue celebrates one of the enduring passions of our community: travel. Not just as an escape, but as an expression of curiosity, culture, wellness, and purpose. As we hear from our readers, advisors, and partners, the interest in meaningful experiences continues to grow. Travel is no longer a break from life; itโ€™s a way to live more fully.

The continued rise in experiential travel reflects a broader shift in how our community is choosing to spend its most valuable resource: time. Whether exploring far-flung destinations, discovering new culinary cultures, or immersing in wellness retreats, our audience values journeys that enrich their lives beyond the surface. In a world of endless information and limited bandwidth, we remain committed to curating content that aligns with what matters most.

Thatโ€™s why Worth continues to evolve. Our editorial focus is sharper than everโ€”at the intersection of business, finance, lifestyle, innovation, and impact. These pillars are not siloed but interconnected, reflecting how todayโ€™s leaders think and live. They want to grow their businesses while making a positive contribution to society. They aim to stay ahead of the curve in AI and emerging technologies, while also remaining grounded in health, wellness, and longevity. And they want their investmentsโ€”whether in companies, causes, or experiencesโ€”to align with their values.

Hike, Hedge, and Hold On

Atlas Merchant Capital's Larry Kantor sees 75 more basis points and a crash he can't time. Bob Diamond sees a strong economy underneath it all. Both say stay invested.

Health, wellness, and longevity have become particularly central to this conversation. With advances in medical science, biotechnology, and data-driven diagnostics, we are entering a new era where personalized health is no longer a distant goal but a real-time possibility. We recently explored these topics at our inaugural Living Well conference in Boston. That content can be found on Worth.com. 

โ€œOur audience values journeys that enrich their lives beyond the surface.

This issue also features content from the Milken Global Conference, where we remain proud media partners. Milkenโ€™s dedication to finance, health, and philanthropy mirrors our own commitment to conversations that drive progress. Itโ€™s a forum where public and private sector leaders explore how to build a better worldโ€”and one weโ€™re honored to help amplify.

Looking ahead, weโ€™re preparing for a dynamic second half of the year. Our editorial and event calendar features our Impact Conference, held during the UN General Assembly, where the global conversation around sustainability and impact takes center stage. Weโ€™ll also host our Techonomy conference, focusing on the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on reshaping business, policy, and society. And in December, weโ€™ll publish our annual Worthy 100 list, honoring the influential leaders who are using their success as a force for good.

Closing Groundbreaking Women 2026, the Grammy-, MacArthur-, and Pulitzer-winning musician told Worth how commercial categories erased the shared roots of American music. Then she handed over her biscuit recipe.
