Millionaires are made, not born.
79% of millionaires in the United States didn’t inherit ANY money.
Our team conducted the largest study of millionaires EVER. The top 3 careers of the over 10,000 millionaires we talked to were 1. Engineer 2. Accountant 3. Teacher. They became millionaires through consistent investing, avoiding debt like the plague, and smart spending. No lottery tickets. No inheritances. No six-figure incomes.

Hunting the Monster that Killed Robin Williams
Dr. Russell Lebovitz, MD/Ph.D., is the Co-founder and CEO of Amprion, a biotech diagnostic company, discusses the early warning signs of Lewy Body Dementia, the mysterious brain disease that destroyed one of Hollywood’s most creative minds. Often misdiagnosed, Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is the second most common dementia after Alzheimer’s and afflicts about 1.4 million Americans. Officially named in 1976, Lewy Body Dementia is triggered when protein deposits called Lewy Bodies develop in nerve cells in regions of the brain involved in thinking, memory, and movement. According to brain disease research scientist Dr. Russell Lebovitz, LBD has been a challenge to diagnose due to the fact that LBD patients can display both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s symptoms.

Protect the Public’s Trust
Michael Chamberlain, Director at Protect the Public’s Trust, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit watchdog organization focused on exposing conflicts of interest and ethics violations among high-level federal officials.
Report a concern: protectpublictrusttips@protonmail.com
Michael’s organization has helped inform the public about the potential conflicts of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, including the millions of dollars in stock options she continues to own of a company that stands to reap significant financial benefit from the administration’s green energy initiatives. There is also evidence that the ethical lapses and conflicts at DOE don’t stop at Granholm. They have uncovered information through their own research that one of her top lieutenants, Kelly Speakes-Backman, the acting head of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), may have violated her federal ethics obligations. Speakes-Backman appears to endorse her former employer, the Energy Storage Association (ESA) and was apparently sponsored by a member of ESA while acting in her official DOE capacity, both of which may constitute violations of federal ethics rules. She seems to be in charge of an initiative called the Energy Storage Grand Challenge, which she spoke about in-depth at one of her public events, but she also advocated for it in her prior job, which could constitute another ethics violation. Ethical questions around her behavior go way back and should have been well-known to Granholm. Speakes-Backman was formerly a member of the Maryland Public Service Commission. While the Commission was evaluating a merger involving Exelon, she interviewed for a job with The Alliance to Save Energy, which was funded by Exelon. She supposedly removed herself from consideration citing ethics concerns but then was offered the job just three days after voting to approve the merger and took it as soon as her term on the Commission expired. On top of these issues at DOE, there have been reports that high-level officials at numerous federal agencies have been using encrypted apps, such as Signal, for official government communications that may not be properly preserved for public access under the Freedom of Information Act and other transparency laws. This potential lack of transparency serves to reinforce the erosion of public trust created by the perception of ethics issues.

Power the Future
Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future Daniel Turner has a brand new op-ed in the Washington Examiner on the controversy of Biden’s administration’s push for a “greener” future while at the Ford plant. But absent from any of the reporters’ questions that day was a curiosity about Jennifer Granholm’s investments in an electric bus company. Granholm stands to make a personal financial windfall from the policies being pushed fervently by the administration in which she serves, and the press corps hasn’t asked a single question about it.

Is Chipman aware that all models of rifles account for just 3.5% of all murders involving firearms and just 2.6% of all murders? And yet he wants to ban the most popular model of rifle in US history, if not most popular firearm in US history. pic.twitter.com/Jm1MRT6x8h
