You find a lot of crazy stuff in your spam email folder. But one Michigan woman found a $200,000 prize… that was real!
She had been playing some online lottery games and didn’t know it was giving her entries into a massive drawing that she won!
Guess I should check my spam folder more often!

This seems like a great idea… for getting into a massive amount of debt! Almost half of Americans say we really need a vacation even though we can’t afford it. It’s called, “Justi-vacation.”
People are justifying spending money they don’t have, going into debt, because they “need” a break. Hope they’re prepared for their credit score to take a break too.
Don’t let me tell you how to live your life, but taking a break or vacation doesn’t have to mean an all-inclusive resort or Caribbean cruise. Take a week off work and spend time in nature! You’ll get more refreshed and won’t have a massive credit card bill to stress you out when it’s over!

A new poll says 54% of workers would quit their job to be a full-time influencer! It’s not just the kids, either. Ages 18-60 were asked!
64% of people on social media say they’d happily get paid by brands to promote their products on their social feeds. Makes sense, because that’s pretty much what an influencer does!
Say what you will about influencers, but the good ones are just that. Good! It’s a full-time job coming up with video ideas, writing, filming, and editing! And if you’re content isn’t good, no one is gonna watch it, and no company will pay you for talking about their stuff.
I could try and convince you it’s a tough job that not many can really do well, but that’d be like trying to convince you radio is actually not an easy job!

Lace up those work boots, because the industry with the happiest employees is construction!
A new report asked employees from 10 different industries about their jobs. They put a score together based on culture & values, diversity & inclusion, work-life balance, compensation, career opportunities, and senior management satisfaction.
Having worked retail, I can see how that came in last!

Every once in a while a cool interview comes way from Hollywood! This time for the new TWISTERS movie I was excited to chat it up with Glen Powell, who I just fell in love with in TOP GUN MAVERICK and also Daisy Edgar-Jones who was so lovely in WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING! Daisy and Glen were super fun and very nice. We chatted up training with the weather service for the film. And, also while filming in Oklahoma’s Tornado Alley we talked of the crazy weather they worked through while filming.
This is a stand-alone film slightly modeled after 1996’s TWISTER that starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. TWISTERS is a current day adrenaline-pumping big-screen thrill ride. This is from the producers behind JURASSIC, BOURNE and INDY JONES with a story by Joseph Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick fame.
Twisters began to swirl into existence in 2020! Now on the big screen TWISTERS stars the thoughtful Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and the cocky-yet sure Tyler (Glen Powell). There is a great supporting cast as well in Anthony Ramos of HAMILTON fame co-stars as well! There are tributes to the original 1996 with and an updated DOROTHY as well as honoring the late Bill Paxton! Paxton’s son James has a cameo in Twisters.
I just loved the ’96 TWISTER and TWISTERS is certainly a fun popcorn Summertime flick! Let me know what you think!
A new study says Taylor Swift fans have healthier eating habits and better feelings about their body image. Possibly because Taylor has been open about her past struggles with each, saying, “Fans who felt highly connected to Swift were influenced to positively change their behaviors or attitudes around eating or their body image because of Swift’s disclosures and messages in her music.”
No matter what you think of her and her music, “Taylor Swift can do more to change attitudes with a few sentences than we can do in our entire careers. So, it’s important to study people that have that kind of impact.”
Taylor Swift is just awesome and this further proves it!
