I’ll be honest with you—I didn’t expect to get hooked on Pokémon cards again. Years ago, my nephew dragged me into opening booster packs, and I thought it would be a one-time “fun uncle” move.  Then I pulled a shiny card that had everyone at the kitchen table screaming like we’d won the lottery. That moment pulled me straight into …

I’ll admit it—I didn’t discover Blippi through my own late-night YouTube rabbit holes. I first heard his high-pitched songs and saw the iconic orange suspenders at a friend’s house. Their toddler was mesmerized, glued to the screen as if Blippi had invented gravity.  That was my cue to ask the obvious: How much is this guy making? That simple question …

I’ll be honest—I’ve always been fascinated by unconventional success stories. Years ago, I watched John Daly crush a golf ball so far down the fairway it looked like a cheat code come to life.  That moment made me think: some people build their brand on polish and perfection, while others (like Daly) do it on personality and raw talent.  And …

I’ll admit it—I’m a bit of a numbers junkie. Some people unwind with Netflix. I unwind by scrolling through disclosure reports and stock trackers like I’m reading the latest thriller. One of the most fascinating rabbit holes? The Nancy Pelosi stock tracker. Yes, you read that right.  The Speaker Emerita of the U.S. House has financial filings that attract as …

I still remember the first time I paid to see Kevin Hart perform live. It wasn’t just a comedy show; it felt like a masterclass in energy, timing, and brand building.  As I sat there, laughing until my ribs hurt, one thought kept nagging me—this guy isn’t just telling jokes, he’s running an empire.  Fast-forward to 2025, and the numbers …

I’ll be honest. The first time I stumbled across IShowSpeed, I didn’t know what to make of him. Here’s this teenager screaming at a video game, running wild on stream, and somehow pulling millions of eyeballs.  My first thought? There’s no way this kid is making real money. But curiosity got the best of me, and I started digging.  The …

I’ll admit it—when I first heard about Adin Ross, it wasn’t from a business journal or a financial podcast. It was from a friend sending me a viral clip of Ross arguing with a rapper live on stream. I wasn’t impressed at first. But then I dug deeper.  Behind the memes and controversies is a fascinating business story. As of …

I’ll admit it—I first heard about the Island Boys the same way most of you did. A friend shoved their phone in my face and said, “You’ve got to see this.”  There they were, in a hot tub, spitting a freestyle that was more chant than rap.  I couldn’t look away. Fast forward, and here I am writing about the …

I remember sitting in a small coffee shop in San Juan a few years ago when “Soy Peor” played over the speakers. The place shifted. Every head started bobbing, every foot tapped along.  That was my first real taste of Bad Bunny’s impact. Fast-forward to 2025, and the question on everyone’s mind isn’t just about his music—it’s about Bad Bunny …

I’ll admit something upfront—I didn’t always get Joe Rogan. Years ago, a friend kept trying to sell me on The Joe Rogan Experience. I resisted because, honestly, I didn’t think a three-hour podcast could hold my attention.  Then I finally gave it a chance during a long flight, and I was hooked. The conversations were raw, unpredictable, and surprisingly educational.  …
