It was another stunning day on Wall Street and we'll give you the details as to why. Greetings from Maricopa, Arizona as we spend time here on assignment. Some interesting stories we've dug up and we'll be getting those to you in the coming week. In the news today:
- The S&P 500 closed above 3,300 for this first time...why?
- Missing Money in Mexico;
- Harry and Megan good for the Canadian brand;
- Bose is giving up on brick and mortar;
- The Market Report;
- Men and Botox...it's a thing.
Those stories plus...
It's taken us nearly a year to get this interview with entrepreneur Kelsi Ziemann. Why? Because she has been a very busy woman. Her business, Kelsi Ziemann Artistry is where she, and her staff, transform women with some amazing makeup work and teach them the tips to help them look their best everyday. Then she recently started KZA Cosmetics (Site under construction but where you can sign up to get the latest.) where she sells products from makeup to some makeup hardware. We talk all about it in this segment. Listen here.
It was nice while it lasted...think conflicting signals when it comes to China and Trade. It's the Tuesday Edition of the Business News Headlines. Today:
- Trump Trade Tariffs to stay in place;
- Wages & Restaurant Workers;
- Shake Shack gets inventive;
- It once was the world's largest airplane maker;
- Amazon and FedEx make nice;
- The Market Report from Wall Street;
- Work for Food? But, does it...work?
Those stories plus we get hyper-local with a fun couple Angela Carter from Skin - Body - Soul and Beau Fodor from Panache who are teaming up with their friends from Williams-Sonoma at the Jordan Creek Town Center. Listen as they chat about their business and a special event happening just in time for Valentine's Day.
