Tai Lopez Sued: From “Here in My Garage” to the SEC Courtroom
Remember back in 2015 when Tai Lopez popped up on YouTube flexing his Lamborghini, surrounded by bookshelves, saying, “Here in my garage…”?

Exploring the Darker Side of Social Media Influence
We live in a time where an “influencer” can change your mind faster than your mama or your pastor ever could. One post, one TikTok, one viral video—and suddenly you’re buying a $70 face cream, voting differently, or feeling like your life is trash compared to someone else’s highlight reel.

Black Businesses: It’s Time to Rethink Where You Place Your Products
Let’s keep it real—what we’re seeing right now is a shift. DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) was the buzzword after 2020, when corporations scrambled to prove they “stood with” Black businesses. Shelves in places like Target and Walmart were suddenly sprinkled with Black-owned products. It felt like a win. But fast-forward to 2025, and the curtain has been pulled back. DEI budgets are being slashed, initiatives are being cut, and many Black-owned businesses are quietly bein

Remote work isn’t just a “perk” anymore. It’s a whole lifestyle shift. And for many of us, it’s the change we didn’t even know we needed.
Whether you’re a busy mom juggling homeschool, a creative who thrives outside the 9–5 grind, or someone just tired of sitting in traffic while mentally screami

YouTube Is Shaking the Table July 15 — And If You're an AI-Only Creator, You’re About to Get Cut Off
Let me say this loud for the people in the back: YouTube is not playing with y’all anymore.
Starting July 15, if your videos are fully AI-generated, copy-pasted, or just plain lazy, you can go ahead and kiss your monetization check goodbye. YouTube is rolling out some serious changes to its Partner Program, and this affects all of us — creators, businesses, side hustlers, and especially those faceless channels with text-to-speech and copycat content.
