I live in Denver and I have a pug. College football sicko. Also an editor.

Six years ago this week, a fly attempted a brazen attack on VP Mike Pence during a live debate. Today, another fly (potentially an associate) attacked Sen. John Hickenlooper, leading Hick to slap his own face on television. These flies are a menace.

This is about 95% of the entire “self-help” and “financial freedom” industry. Most of the time, their “how I became a success” story is that they failed at everything they tried until they started branding themselves as a guru for others to follow.

My next book has a whole section on the psychology behind "People becoming successful by simply lying about already being successful then charging other people to learn their 'secrets' about how to become successful".

Lawvers for Andrew Tate have had to admit in
court that he is not a citizen of Estonia as he
previously claimed.
Much of his wealth and status is fabricated, they
said in attempt to convince the court he and his
brother are not a flight risk if released on bail
That included his claims to seven passports.
"The Tates are engaged in several businesses
teaching men how to earn money. It is in their
interest to portray themselves on social media
as uberwealthy." 1/3
