In my Rich Habits Study, I had the fortunate opportunity to peer into the lives of 128 individuals who struggled financially in life. My goal was to figure out the underlying causes of their financial struggles. I learned many things. For instance, I learned that those who struggled financially had habits that, in many instances, were the polar opposite of the habits of the self-made millionaires in this same Study. Certain habits I uncovered related to money. Those who struggle financially, I found, are just not very good with their money. There are numerous reasons for this, but I believe…

Building a sauna in your backyard sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? A perfect, cozy escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Somewhere you can unwind, relax, and enjoy the healing benefits of heat therapy. At least, that’s what I thought when I decided to take on the project of building my own sauna. I envisioned a quick weekend project, an afternoon of hammering away, and before I knew it, I’d have a beautiful little oasis of warmth and wellness in my backyard. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. Turns out that building a sauna isn’t as simple as…

We’re less than two weeks from the first round of the NFL Draft with rumors flying left and right. Some of the biggest, boldest decisions in war rooms are being made now — with strong convictions from scouts and executives worming their way into the process. This 2025 class doesn’t have that many true, legitimate “busts” waiting to happen (unless you count Jaxson Dart), but the class is full of boom-or-bust prospects that frankly scare to the point we hope we don’t hear their name when our teams are on the clock. Here are the players that we fear the…

Ever watched a high-potential customer slip away without warning? I have—and even from the outside looking in, it’s frustrating. What’s worse is knowing it was probably avoidable. Churn rarely shows up with flashing lights. It’s often a slow fade: a drop in usage, unanswered emails, and quiet complaints. And from everything I’ve learned researching this space, spotting those signs early is nearly impossible without the best customer success software. I don’t work in customer success, nor do I send quarterly business review (QBR) decks or manage renewals. But I spend my days analyzing the tools that help SaaS companies grow. Customer…

A bright, white smile is often associated with good dental hygiene, yet many people overlook the impact of diet on teeth and the role it plays in maintaining the natural color of their teeth. While regular brushing and professional dental care are essential, the foods and beverages we consume can either support or undermine efforts to keep teeth looking their best. Understanding the relationship between diet and tooth color is crucial for those seeking a brighter smile. How Diet Influences Tooth Discoloration The color of your teeth is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic discoloration occurs within…

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has attributed the recent dramatic volatility across rates, currencies, and equities to “forced selling” by highly leveraged market participants, rather than fundamental economic shifts. What Happened: In an X post, Ackman argued that investors and market commentators are overinterpreting short-term market movements, mistaking technical liquidations for signals of underlying economic or policy changes. Ackman believes that the significant leverage prevalent in the market is the primary culprit. He highlighted the stark contrast in permitted leverage – up to 10:1 for equities and a staggering 100:1 for Treasuries and currencies. This high degree of leverage, he explains,…

While GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) treatments have gained widespread attention for their role in weight loss. But their benefits go far beyond shedding weight faster. GLP-1s work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar, appetite and digestion. They were originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes. But recent research has shown that GLP-1s may also deliver remarkable health benefits that can support your long-term wellness. Sugar Control & Metabolic Reset GLP-1 receptor agonists were initially designed and continue to excel at managing type 2 diabetes. They achieve this through: Improved insulin sensitivity: Helping the body…

You want to create financial miracles? Let me tell you how. The secret is deceptively simple, incredibly powerful, yet can be so uncomfortable, many won’t want to do it. But if you’re willing to try, and you’re consistent in your efforts, you’ll experience significant change, often within a very short time. The secret is this: Stop telling your old story. Stop talking about your life as it’s been: your flaws, your fears,…
