About This Issue

Rich Monday Paper, Combined Issue 106-107, 6 July 2026 Good news only. This double summer issue gathers a fortnight of stories worth slowing down for. We climb with a record-breaking skier, walk the grounds of the Irish estate whose neighbours turned away a billionaires' secret retreat, and stand before a Picasso in Antibes where two European leaders chose art over division. We meet the young founders building something of their own, weigh what artificial intelligence means for the identity that is yours alone, and cheer the engineer chasing a land-speed record. How is social media working for you? The Former IHG and Hyatt leaders behind the Hospitality Social Media Summit are inviting you to London in September to learn how to turn likes into a powerful revenue engine. Beyoncé surprises the world with 'Morning Dew (Donk)', her first new song in two years and the opening note of a countdown to the twentieth anniversary of B'Day. On the best gifts of all times, there is a book that we had to read this week. From the lights of the Savoy to the quiet freedom of putting down your phone, these are insights, strategies and the latest success stories, told the way we always tell them, with gratitude and with hope.
