Well, it turns out that Stuart Varney stood me up this morning in retaliation to me snubbing him at his Super Bowl party last week. Instead, I had the great pleasure of talking with Charlie Payne and Liz MacDonald about a tepid economy as the “new normal” and the idea that real estate (commercial...

Last week, Bob Coleman called and asked if he could interview me for The Coleman Report — an online and print resource for small business lending and small business loans. Frankly, I was honored. Bob and I go back a few years and I know how influential his publications have become. He wanted to ...

I got an email the other day from Angela, who works in our loan closing department. She included a picture of her daughter, Kayla, who has taken to carrying around my new book with her. Angela said she even reads to Kayla from the book every now and then. Now, Kayla’s only two years old, so she’s...

Since we’ve had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday, I’m claiming today for all entrepreneurs as WEALTH WEDNESDAY.
