Aretha Franklin, who passed away 5 years ago, is arguably one of the greatest female voices of all time. In addition to being known as the “Queen of Soul”, she has sold over 75 million records over her career. What most people don’t know is that she was also very controlling of her wealth. She
The news is a weird animal. There has to be a couple of guys somewhere deciding what we get to see and what they want us to remain oblivious to. Did you read about the riots and protests in France yesterday? Probably not because it’s barely being reported. To me, over a million people taking
We live in a strange time when it comes to entertainment. With all of the streaming services, we have an unlimited number of options. But when I sit down for a little mindless entertainment, I spend more time looking for something to watch than actually watching something. I mean all I want to do is

I just got off a coaching call with Jerry, one of our newest Probate Growth Accelerator students here at the ProbateFox headquarters.

And you can work (and profit handsomely) both at the same time? As real estate professionals, we can be so laser-focused on the
Yesterday in Berlin, Germany, a massive aquarium standing over 46 feet tall, holding a quarter million gallons of water and 1,500 fish exploded sending a wave of fish, water, and glass through its hotel lobby and into the streets of Berlin. It is, or I guess was, the biggest cylindrical aquarium in the world. Luckily,
I love Christmas for all kinds of reasons. The most important of which is the birth of the Christ child. But there are other things I love about the Christmas season too. Take the Rose Bowl parade for instance. Living in Pasadena gives me a front-row seat to a real sensational event. One of the
