Compound Interest is Life's Cheat Code (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The hardest part of building wealth is surviving the first five years when it feels like absolutely nothing is happening.Just like a perennial blueberry bush that starts small but returns bigger and stronger every single year, compound interest requires patience before the growth on top of past growth truly takes off.Consider the sheer velocity of compounding: in 1969, NASA landed on the Moon using a guidance computer with just 2 kilobytes of RAM. Today, a standard Apple Watch has over two milli
What Is Business Success? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let’s start with the obvious. What does business success mean? How do you define it? Business success means reaching your goals and utilizing resources and opportunities to reach those goals. For me, it is all about establishing objectives and adapting when challenges arise. Success rarely comes from one factor alone.

The ultimate wealth-building hack of the past century does not require you to start a business or pick winning stocks.

Whether you are applying for a credit card, an auto loan, or a mortgage, banks are actively pulling your credit history to decide if you are worth the risk.According to Fair Isaac Corporation, 90% of top lenders rely on its FICO score. Your score ranges from 300 to 850, with anything above 670 considered pretty good, and any score over 740 being very solid.If
Why buying hope is easy but building wealth is guaranteed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The key to building long-term wealth is choosing to play the mathematical odds that actually work in your favor. In my review of lottery habits, I break down why the temporary thrill of buying a scratch-off ticket is a massive wealth-eroding trap.In North Carolina, the average adult spent $420 on scratch-off tickets in 2025. If a 25-year-old invested that same $420 in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund in a tax-advantaged Roth IRA, it would compound to nearly $20,000 by retirement without adding anot
