Kids in the Star-C Program The Atlanta-based nonprofit that launched an Eviction Relief Fund during the COVID pandemic has now assisted over 5,500 families so they could stay in their apartments. Marjy Stagmeier, a landlord of affordable housing in the Georgia capital city, is helping ease the burden on tenants through fundraising for the nonprofit she founded, the Star-C Program. What started as a $50,000 GoFundMe campaign has now surpassed $16.5 million for rent payments to help bridge the gap for those in need. “Many renters are stable residents, but they can experience temporary challenges and can’t pay rent,” says…

What is mental toughness? It’s your ability to stay steady, keep going and perform close to your best when pressure, setbacks and uncertainty hit. Psychologist Peter Clough’s widely used model breaks it into four C’s: Control (managing your emotions and your sense of influence), Commitment (sticking to your goals), Challenge (seeing setbacks as chances to grow) and Confidence (believing in your ability). The good news is that all four can be trained. I’ve spent more than a decade building Addicted2Success and interviewing entrepreneurs, athletes and authors on the podcast, and the pattern is hard to miss. The people who make…

For most of the past few years, an AI assistant could tell you what was happening in your business but it couldn’t do much about it. That line is now moving fast. On October 21, 2026, Stripe announced Treasury for agents, which lets startups connect agents such as ChatGPT and Claude to their business account so they can check balances, pay invoices, transfer funds between accounts, and convert currencies. Other banking and payment providers are heading in the same direction, and the founders who benefit most will be the ones who write their AI agent payment approval rules before they…

Throughout my career as a psychotherapist, I’ve repeatedly heard the refrain “Who would I be without my (anxiety, depression, etc., fill in the blank)?” While clients express a need for change, they also have a deeply embedded fear of tearing down a well-crafted, life-long identity that is connected to their pain. This is more common than you might think. For example, have you ever had memories of a trauma or past negative event replaying in your head like a favorite tune? We’ve all experienced this. Fortunately, scientists have learned that present moment awareness shifts attention away from old triggers and…

Reddit is one of the most visible sites on the internet, a place people used to find by typing “reddit” at the end of their Google searches, and it’s now telling investors it may lose a meaningful slice of its daily audience because Google answers the question before anyone clicks. If you run an online business, that news deserves more than a passing glance. AI search traffic is…
