In positions of leadership or authority, better results through strict rules or deepening relationships? Perhaps rules lead to rebellion! https://t.co/HdmIpkiBXK via @YouTube

Interesting quote from summit today; “AI should not just be used to make easy things easier, it should be used to make very difficult things possible.”

When trying to determine if someone is successful, do you observe what the possess or what they produce?

Looking forward to this!

Love this story, didn’t verify, but the principle works - relationship and value overcome transactions and price, over time, every time.

In 2013, Nike made their BIGGEST mistake in sports.

They humiliated Steph Curry so bad he walked away forever.

But instead of signing with Adidas or Puma...

A tiny brand stole him with ONE thing no one else could offer.

Here's the bizarre gamble that made him a billionaire:

Good reminders for those with 1099 income or considering a side hustle. Many of these are missed when people trying to decide if the added hustle is worth the effort. Model both your projected income as well as the reporting and tracking requirements!

[The Money Cruncher, CPA @money_cruncher]

Millions of Americans have a side hustle.

But most have no idea how side hustle taxes work.

Here's the breakdown (and how to keep more money in your pocket):

I'm not alone in bad experiences with @StubHub. Another 22 mins with customer "service" today, they eventually disconnected upon realizing they were incorrect. I hope they have recordings (doubt it), I may have been far too kind. Some additional reading: https://t.co/u9k4HGJBJp

@pierre6743 @StubHub That instant upload is broken at best, at worst part of a scam that will be difficult to uncover. Tried to use it to sell tickets and the tickets disappeared, never transferred to the buyer. StubHub had them in their system, then charged me again for not being able to deliver.

[Ryan Ponsford @ryanponsford]

@seancalvillo @StubHub And good luck trying to sell those tickets on their platform or getting accurate answers or solutions from their support team in the process! Run fast, run far...

[Ryan Ponsford @ryanponsford]

@ladoug @StubHub @VividSeats @Gametime @TeamStubHub Still going back and forth with them over a week later, sending documentation over and over, really quite awful.

[Ryan Ponsford @ryanponsford]

PSA: Buying or selling event tickets, don't EVER use @StubHub. Several attempts to use them, several epic fails both as both a buyer and seller, hours of my life I'll never get back. Plenty of other options, run away...

For those that are unfamiliar, this is a concise explanation and guide for tax loss harvesting.

[The Money Cruncher, CPA @money_cruncher]

The Nasdaq is down 22% off its highs. The S&P 500 is off 17%.

It’s the perfect time to harvest your losses and save on taxes, but 99% don't understand how.

Here’s how tax loss harvesting actually works:

Three things that determine your capacity to participate in an organized and complimentary society: How you get on and off an airplane, how you use lanes on the freeway, and what you do with your grocery cart in the parking lot.
