Here's what we've got for you today:

The question might be, "Has the Fed waited too long?";
Solo dining is a trend...no, really!
Another deadly accident think drinking and auto-technology;
The Wall Street Report;
More bad news for Elon and "X".
Now meet Sam Sapkota a former venture capitalist who will give you a "behind the scene" look at that profession and how it's nothing like Shark Tank. We'll then spend some time talking about the company he and his business partner purchased back in March and how Revival Concrete Coatings has grown and become so profitable in just...months.
