No one knows how much lost time and productivity Wes Cherry has cost employers. In 1988, as an intern for Microsoft, Wes wrote Solitare — the game that came bundled with the Windows OS.

Air travel is enough of a hassle without dealing with sub-par luggage. Informed by the founders' experience, gained at renowned brands like Louis Vuitton and Tumi, Arlo Skye makes luggage with thoughtful features like the hard-side exterior pocket of this carry-on. The aforementioned pocket is large enough to hold a 16" laptop, pullover, and other essentials, while a TSA-compliant, removable PD charger with USB-C and A ports can juice up a phone to 50% in just 30 minutes. Free-Flex zipper technology stretches up to half an inch for over-packers (or unexpected trip purchases), antimicrobial interior lining keeps contents smelling fresh, the durable, lightweight impact-resistant polycarbonate exterior keeps things protected, and virtually silent spinner wheels glide smoothly through the terminal.

In China, there are entire markets devoted to cell phone parts — not surprising when nearly every component is manufactured and assembled there. Formerly a programmer from Silicon Valley, Scotty of Strangeparts wondered if he could build an iPhone 6S from parts found at the market.

Entrepreneur Sam Cossman traveled to Mongolia to train with Kairat Khan, a Mongolian eagle master. During his time with Kairat, Sam realized that modern technology can't compete with an ancient mastery.
