There are many types of entrepreneurs. From artists, accountants and attorneys to web designers, chefs and writers, all entrepreneurs must wear many hats to make their businesses grow. This month we offer tips for entrepreneurs, such as Working a Room, Romancing Your Audience, and Getting Media Placement in Top-tier Press. Our favorite entrepreneur of all time is one of our founding fathers Benjamin Franklin, who we consider to be the ultimate entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. Ex-con Dave Dahl founded Dave’s Killer Bread and grew it into a $250 million dollar business. After surviving a brain aneurysm, Tess Padmore brings a unique lens to entrepreneurship—one rooted in dignity, representation, and wellness. We have a new book review this month of a great but not so new book, Amsterdam by Ian McEwan. We also offer a new perspective of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. The notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein showcased a first edition of Lolita in his sensational Upper East Side mansion.–Patricia Vaccarino

All of these things were done in his name, not by him, but for him, because he stood for honor, integrity, loyalty, dignity, and fairness. More than two centuries after his death, his brand has endured and he has achieved the status of a cultural icon.

Both houses of Congress are comprised of anxious Republican majorities who fear the President’s ability to dislodge them from their elected seats if they do not toe the party line. In fact, there have been no laws passed by Congress and no vetoes of Congressional bills because the President is ruling by executive order – hundreds of them, to date.
