Nate criticizes an article published in today's Wall Street Journal that talks about how the Damar Hamlin scare could impact the mental health of NFL players, leading some to suggest that resuming play may not be an option.    You can view the WSJ article Damar Hamlin's Collapse and the Mental Health Concerns Facing the NFL For more episodes and links, please see our Linktree

Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest during last night's Monday Night Football game was scary, shocking and terribly sad.  It reminds us that health is wealth and, without it, nothing else matters.

Grant Cardone belittles you if you make $400,000 per year or less. There are a lot of Internet gurus selling pipe dreams and claiming they know how to make you more money. All you have to do is "pay to play."  In 2023, please beware of what you are being sold. A vast majority of them are scams. Remember that there is no short-cut to success. And that comparison is truly the thief of joy.
