Grade School: How Teachers Can Change Your Life: A Memoir by Anthony Massucci Amazon.com WHO ARE YOUR 5 PEOPLE? FIND YOUR UNEXPECTED HEROES IN GRADE SCHOOL. In Grade School, Anthony Massucci shares a deeply personal and inspiring memoir about the transformative power of unexpected support. His childhood, marked by struggles at home, was illuminated by the unwavering kindness and encouragement of his grade school teachers. Their influence shaped his attitude, spirit, and future and serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing challenges. At a time when many might retreat inward, Anthony chose to lean into the support system that formed around him. Beyond his mother, siblings, and extended family, his teachers became unexpected caregivers who propelled him forward. Anthony's story reminds us that no matter how alone we may feel during life's challenges— whether it's grief, abuse, divorce, or significant transitions—some people care and are ready to extend their kindness. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM GRADE SCHOOL: THE POWER OF SUPPORT SYSTEMS: Discover how your family, friends, and unexpected mentors can lift you up during difficult times. BEING OPEN TO KINDNESS: Learn to actively recognize and embrace the kindness and care surrounding you—even when you feel isolated. LESSONS FROM TEACHERS WHO TRANSFORM LIVES: Explore how educators can leave a lasting impact through encouragement, wisdom, and genuine belief in their students. BUILDING RESILIENCE IN DIFFICULT TIMES: Find inspiration in Anthony's journey of perseverance and learn how to forge your path forward with the help of others. FINDING YOUR “FIVE PEOPLE”: Reflect on the surprising individuals who may help guide and support you. This concept, often referred to as ‘your five people', suggests that the people you surround yourself with significantly impact your life and can influence your personal growth and success. Grade School is a heartfelt tribute to those who show up when we need them most. Open your heart, and you may be surprised by who steps forward.About the author ANTHONY MASSUCCI is an author and former Bloomberg News and Time Warner AOL Daily Finance journalist and Bloomberg TV broadcaster. For the past decade, he has run his own media firm, HiAnthony Media. He lives in Manhattan, New York, with his son and daughter

Ever wondered why the idea of working for someone else just never quite fit, or why chaos seems to call your name (and you answer with gusto)? If you're an entrepreneur who's found yourself drawn to the thrill of building your own path—and maybe even stumbled more than a few times along the way—you are going to love this week's guest interview. I recently sat down with Dr. Michael A. Freeman, an acclaimed psychiatrist, professor, and serial entrepreneur whose groundbreaking research uncovers the fascinating relationship between ADHD, bipolar spectrum conditions, and the entrepreneurial drive. In this lively conversation, we get real about what makes entrepreneurs with ADHD different—and what it takes to turn those differences into undeniable strengths instead of exhausting liabilities. Here's what you'll hear in this episode:Why do so many entrepreneurs have ADHD tendenciesDr. Freeman breaks down fascinating research on why we're more likely to go solo in our careers—and why we struggle in traditional workplaces.The double-edged sword of the ADHD entrepreneurial brainWe chat about superpowers and vulnerabilities, with a big emphasis on how to recognize your “zone of genius” (and when to call in backup!).Building your own ADHD-friendly toolkit for sustainable successFrom teams and routines, to handling sleep and “offloading the boring stuff,” we talk actionable strategies (yes, including coaching and medication).The myth vs. reality of the entrepreneurial lifeSpoiler: it isn't all glamor and “get rich quick”—and Dr. Freeman shares why radical self-awareness and resilience are must-haves.Why fun is non-negotiable for the entrepreneur with ADHDTurns out, fun isn't just a bonus—it's the main event for the ADHD brain, and Dr. Freeman explains how to keep your business (and life) playfully sustainable.Make it actionable: Take three minutes to reflect: what feels fun, energizing, or “flow-y” in your own work? What support do you need more of?Feeling inspired to start, pivot, or quit? Get a “personal board of directors” before you make big decisions or take big risks.Get to know Michael Freeman, MD Michael A.

Americans have long had a conflicted attitude about political news. On the one hand, most Americans, Republicans and Democrats, see the press as an essential watchdog on government. This is not a new idea: The founders of the country singled out the press for protection from government interference for just that reason. At the same time,  sizable majorities of Republicans and independents today--and a good many Democrats besides--have little to no trust in professional media to report the news accurately. And audiences and advertisers are not willing to spend enough money to support it.Evaporating trust. Collapsing business models. Along with an ever more obvious need for an independent press. These are the existential contradictions facing journalism today, a topic that we come back to continually here on In Reality. However, we've never had a chance to discuss them with Norman Pearlstine, one of the most significant figures in institutional journalism of the past 50 years. Norm has crowned the editorial masthead at the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg News, Time Inc. with its hundreds of magazine titles and, most recently, the Los Angeles Times. He has been in the room where journalism happened.  Norm recently joined Eric as a guest speaker at his University of Chicago course on the Future of Media.

Many students at elite law schools end up working in Big Law for at least a spell. The Trump administration's attacks on the industry, and deals with some of its top players, are making the choice of where to start their careers much more complicated. Students are stuck between two very uncertain options: go to a firm that struck a deal with the White House, despite concerns about a lack of principles; or, go to a firm that's fighting Trump in court, despite concerns about the firm remaining financial stable. Bloomberg News reporter Claire Ballentine wrote about how students are making these tough choices and she speaks with Bloomberg Law editor Jessie Kokrda Kamens on this episode of our podcast, On The Merits. Ballentine talks about how some law students are organizing to help each other make a decision and how the massive debt loads many of them shoulder are factoring in.

The CIT, whose judges handle technical disputes against tariffs, ruled against Trump in lawsuits against his steel tariffs in 2018, but then he was able to appeal the case and win, reports Bloomberg News on Wednesday. Cases have been filed in California, Montana, and Florida against the president's current tariffs. Legal experts say that steering the lawsuits through the CIT could also work out for Trump, because even if the trade court rules against him, the appeals case would go through the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has in the past deferred to presidents' authority on levying tariffs. Last week, Department of Justice attorneys argued to move the case in California, filed in a San Francisco federal court and brought by Gov. Gavin Newsom, to the CIT, located in New York.

El Cybertruck de Tesla enfrenta problemas de producción y ventas, con solo 46.000 unidades vendidas en aproximadamente año y medio, lejos de las expectativas iniciales.

Hi Loyal Readers. I have two pieces of good news to begin this week's newsletter:* Many of you reached out after last week's issue to say kind things. Thank you.* Several of you signed up for our discussion of “The Egg” on April 27That's what Article Club is all about. We're a kind, thoughtful community that likes to read and discuss the best articles on race, education, and culture. Whether you're a new or not-so-new subscriber, thank you for being here.Over the last 5 ½ years, one consistent feature of this newsletter has been its monthly interviews with authors. We launched with Jia Tolentino back in January 2020 and have never looked back. This week, I'm excited to share a conversation that my co-host Melinda Lim had with Susan Berfield, who co-wrote “The Egg” with a team of investigative journalists at Bloomberg. My hope is that you'll listen to the interview and then sign up for our discussion on April 27.If learning more about the human egg trade is not your thing, scroll down past the fold for two other pieces that I feel are worthy of your time and attention. They're about:* A librarian in New York who reminds us there was a time before Google* A college student who wanted to fit in at his fraternity, no matter the costAs always, thank you for trusting me to supply you with things to read. My hope is that they spark new thinking, expand your empathy, and bring you joy.An interview with Susan Berfield, author of “The Egg”The more I re-read “The Egg,” the more I respect Susan Berfield and her colleagues at Bloomberg who brought us this robust report on the human egg trade. If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, I highly recommend you do:Original Article • Gift Link • Google Docs version • Audio versionSadly, this kind of journalism — big investigative journalism — rarely exists anymore. That is why I am so grateful that Susan Berfield generously said yes to sharing her thoughts with us at Article Club.In her interview with Melinda, Ms. Berfield shares the impetus for the article, how she and her team went about reporting it, and the lessons she learned along the way. I appreciated how Ms. Berfield characterizes the tension between the opportunity and the exploitation that women experience in selling their eggs.It's a thoughtful conversation on an important topic — one that seems to be receiving a lot of attention lately. I hope you take a listen and let me know your thoughts.Thanks again to Ms. Berfield. Here's more on her work:Susan Berfield is an award-winning investigative reporter and editor for Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News where she's exposed how Walmart spies on its workers and McDonald's made enemies of its Black franchisees. She uncovered a con man who talked a small Missouri town out of millions and revealed how Beverly Hills billionaires bought up an enormous water supply in the Central Valley. Her story about the biggest food fraud in U.S. history was the basis for an episode of the Netflix documentary series, Rotten.2️⃣ The Department Of EverythingStephen Akey: “⁠How do you find the life expectancy of a California condor? Google it. Or the gross national product of Morocco? Google it. Or the final resting place of Tom Paine? Google it. There was a time, however — not all that long ago — when you couldn't Google it or ask Siri or whatever cyber equivalent comes next. You had to do it the hard way—by consulting reference books, indexes, catalogs, almanacs, statistical abstracts, and myriad other printed sources. Or you could save yourself all that time and trouble by taking the easiest available shortcut: You could call me.”By Stephen Akey • The Hedgehog Review • 8 min • Gift Link3️⃣ Greek Tragedy: A Drowning At DartmouthSusan Zalkind: “Signs of Won Jang's mounting distress appeared almost immediately after he pledged the Beta Alpha Omega fraternity in the fall of 2023. During calls and visits home, his parents noticed their once-confident son had lost his spark, increasingly preoccupied with his standing among fraternity brothers. He worried about how he fit in — or didn't — with the brothers and about the ‘vibe' of his house. ‘I could see that it was very stressful because he didn't feel like he fit into the mold of what a person from that house would be,' a college friend later explained, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of student blowback. ‘He wasn't a white athlete. He wasn't tall. He wasn't from an affluent family. And he felt like he had to compensate for that.' ”By Susan Zalkind • Boston Magazine • 26 min • Gift LinkThank you for reading this week's issue.

Tariff chaos has tossed retailers into a crisis similar to Covid in 2020, leaving them unable to plan ahead, according to AlixPartners, the financial advisory and global consulting firm. “It’s a little crazy and retailers are canceling orders,” Holly Etlin, a partner at the firm and restructuring veteran, tells Bloomberg News’ Reshmi Basu and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Stephen Flynn in the latest Credit Edge podcast. There’s a “real crisis, everybody going nuts,” she added, referring to pricing, inventory and shipping decisions that retailers are trying to make. Etlin also discusses the impact of elevated bankruptcy costs, the outlook for more coercive liability management exercises, how retailers are using asset-based loans as a lifeline and the turnaround of Tailored Brands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NASA is planning to decommission the International Space Station by the end of 2030. The ISS, which began operations in 2000, is reaching the end of its lifespan and has become costly to maintain. NASA selected SpaceX to construct a vehicle that would “de-orbit” the football field-sized station, pushing it down into the atmosphere where it'll burn up safely over the Pacific ocean.So what comes next? So far, NASA has awarded contracts to private companies including Axiom Space, Blue Origin, Northrup Grumman, and Starlab to support the research and development for commercial space stations which would help facilitate future research in orbit, among their own space tourism offerings. Next year, NASA will certify one or more of these companies to build at least one space station, where it'll then become one of many customers to purchase services from the new facilities.Loren Grush, space reporter at Bloomberg News, joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss who's in the running and how future space stations could differ from the one we know today. She also talks about her recent trip to the headquarters of Vast, one of the companies competing for this contract, to learn more about its cryptocurrency origins and its high-level recruitments from NASA and Apple.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The Department of Health and Human Services underwent an unprecedented purge this week, as thousands of employees from the National Institutes of Health, the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other agencies were fired, placed on administrative leave, or offered transfers to far-flung Indian Health Service facilities. Altogether, the layoffs mean the federal government, in a single day, shed hundreds if not thousands of combined years of health and science expertise. Lauren Weber of The Washington Post, Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Bloomberg News, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss this enormous breaking story and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Julie Appleby, who reported and wrote the latest “Bill of the Month” feature about a short-term health plan and a very expensive colonoscopy.

OpenAI has successfully raised $40 billion in what is believed to be the largest private technology funding round ever, boosting its valuation to $300 billion. This funding round was predominantly led by the Japanese investment firm SoftBank, which has now surpassed Microsoft as OpenAI's largest investor. Despite the impressive growth in revenue and user base, OpenAI continues to face challenges in achieving profitability, as it invests heavily in infrastructure and user acquisition. The company has announced plans to release its first open-weight language model since 2019, marking a strategic shift to adapt to competitive pressures from open-source alternatives.The podcast also highlights significant advancements in AI applications across various sectors.
