This has been a long time coming for me and someone that I've admired as an investor for a very long time. There aren’t many books about investing that remain relevant over 40 years after they were first published. Burton Malkiel’s A Random Walk Down Wall Street, first published in 1973 and now in its twelfth edition, is one.

Burton Malkiel, professor emeritus of economics at Princeton University and author of the seminal finance book “A Random Walk Down Wall Street,” told CNBC’s “ETF Edge” that investors would be wise to “sit tight” and “stay the course” in light of the stock market’s latest sell-off.

Malkiel’s book, now in its 12th edition, kickstarted the investing industry’s foray into indexing, influencing top minds including Vanguard founder Jack Bogle, the creator of the index fund.

Kristen Hadeed imagines a world in which all organizations have cultures that empower people to keep climbing toward the best version of themselves every day. As the young leader of Student Maid, a successful cleaning company that hires students, Kristen has fostered a unique perspective on leadership, organizational culture and engaging the next generation.

In October 2017, she published her first book, "Permission To Screw Up," in which she tells the stories of her biggest mistakes in leadership.

While these businesses contribute a great deal towards the sustainability of the economy, they end up overpaying taxes, more often than not. Some simply do not have the understanding of how the tax system works, and some seek help from amateur accountants,tax preparers, and even well-meaning Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) who do not provide the relevant proactive tax-related information to them. This leads to the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in overpaid taxes. The Valbrun Group, founded and led by Michel Valbrun, CPA helps businesses reduce their tax burden legally and ethically.

Michel Valbrun goes into detail with us about why he became a certified public accountant and how he manages financial success.  Over 70% of Americans overpay in taxes which is what inspired Michel to create Tax Wealth Secrets to help you take advantage of all the tax breaks out there to help you save in taxes and help build wealth.⁣

Michel and I cover topics in his course (Tax Wealth 101) and more;

💰 How To Permanently Lower Your Tax Bill From Now On!⁣

💰 What Your CPA or Tax Preparer Isn't Telling You!⁣

💰 The C.P.A. Success System Our Clients Pay Thousands For!⁣

💰 How to Set Up Your Business Entity Properly!⁣

💰 How to use your tax savings to build generational wealth⁣

Note: I purchased this course myself and so far have found a lot of great information.
