Summer's Over -- Time to Go Back to School I hope you had a fun-filled summer doing all the outdoor things you love. With fall upon us, here's my annual "10 Best Non-Fiction Books" I read this past year. What have YOU been reading? 📖

Riding to Fight Cancer This month I will be bicycling at least 100 miles to raise funds to fight kids' cancer in The Great Cycle Challenge. I've dedicated my ride to "older kids" struggling with various forms of cancer -- let's ride it out of existence! 🚴

If you care to donate to my ride, you can do so here: https://tinyurl.com/tcccpe5k

Are You Registered to Vote? Just a reminder that in 2 months we will be holding the most consequential election ever, so make sure you are registered to vote. 🇺🇸

We're READY For Some Football! 🏈 With #1 draft pick Caleb Williams at QB, a retooled offense and strong defense, expectations are sky high for the Da Bearz. It's been 39 years since their last Super Bowl win in '85 -- 'bout time for another dammit!

War, Continued Israel 🇮🇱 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 continue their battles to establish peace in their countries. Global democracy is at stake here -- it matters to all of us. For humanitarian aid you can donate to the neutral International Red Cross here. ❤️

Book Recommendations I read 50+ non-fiction books a year -- it's where I find ideas to help my clients grow their business. Below are the ones I read this past month.

The Hamilton Scheme: An Epic Tale of Money and Power in the American Founding Alexander Hamilton may have become a household name thanks to the musical but here's a deeper look at how he established the financial power that runs the USA today.

The Way of the Champion: Pain, Persistence, and the Path Forward I never heard of Paul Rabil, have come to find out that he is the Tom Brady of lacrosse, the fastest growing sport in America. Here is his journey of how he became the best of the best.

Ben & Me: In Search of a Founder's Formula for a Long and Useful Life Author Eric

Weiner goes from Boston to Philadelphia to London to Paris documenting Ben Franklin's evolution to Founding Father without ever holding a federal office.

Get Me Through the Next Five Minutes: Odes to Being Alive Part prose, part poetry, this book praises the small things in life, both good and bad.

Financial Advisors I coach Financial Advisors around the country to help them grow their clientele. I always want to meet FA's, branch managers and/or fund wholesalers anywhere in the US. Your introductions are greatly appreciated. 

Audio Recommendation Want great ideas from Earl Nightingale, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins and other personal development superstars? You can always go to Nightingale.com for hundreds of hours of motivational/inspirational/educational audios to help you stay on track with success.

Contribution  There are lots of ways you can "Pay It Forward" for good karma. If you want to contribute to a military veteran's transition to a civilian job like I do, sign on as an advisor with ACP AdvisorNet.org. Also, the American Red Cross will always welcome you to donate blood.

Healing Thoughts If you would be so kind, please take a moment to send healing energy as I do daily to individuals you know who have serious health challenges or are dealing with difficult circumstances. Every positive thought helps, thanks.
