Amazon started in 1995 as a simple website selling only books. But within about a month or so, Amazon had already started shipping its products to over 40 countries.
And over the following years, the site continued to grow into what we all know now as one of the most respected, largest, and most powerful companies in the world.
According to some estimates, Amazon's site controls as much as 44 percent of all e-commerce sales – and it continues to grow.
But the question is,...
What makes Amazon so successful? Why is it that when we think of e-commerce, we think of Amazon?
Well...there are a few key reasons why this company is so successful. And we are going to be exploring 6 of those in today's episode.

Just a few days ago, China landed a second blow to Bitcoin investors when the government announced a crackdown on Bitcoin mining and trading activities.
According to CoinDesk, this is one of the most high-profile warnings against cryptocurrencies in recent years.
What we can say is that the Chinese regulators are tightening up crypto regulation.
Regulatory bodies also issued a joint statement banning China's financial institutions from offering any crypto-related services.
They warned that cryptocurrencies are not "real currencies," and so cannot be used in the market.
There’s obviously a tremendous amount of fear in the cryptocurrency market right now.
If you are like me, you have some investments in crypto, and if this is your first time going through crypto volatility − for a lot of people, this is their first market cycle − then this is definitely going to be very troubling and frightening.
And it’s easy to get caught up in the sea of negative sentiment and headlines you’re going to see all over the internet for the next few days or maybe even weeks.
That's why I want to take this time to talk about what is currently happening, how is this going to affect crypto in general and how is this going to affect us as investors?

In today's episode, let's talk about how the richest people on earth avoid paying taxes.
Just last week, ProPublica, an investigative journalism nonprofit, released a report mapping out how the wealthiest people avoid taxes, exploit loopholes and escape scrutiny from federal auditors.
In 2007, Jeff Bezos, then a multibillionaire and now the world’s richest man in the world, did not pay a single penny in federal income taxes. And He managed to do the same thing again in 2011.
In 2018, Tesla founder Elon Musk, the second-richest person in the world, also paid no federal income taxes.
Michael Bloomberg managed to do the same in recent years.
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn did it twice.
George Soros paid no federal income tax three years in a row.
And the question is...how.
How do the richest people in the world avoid paying taxes? That's what we will be exploring in today's episode.

In this episode, let's talk about Costco. Why is Costco such a great company and how does Costco turn customers into fans.
Costco is one of those companies that people absolutely love. It seems like they have their own cult following.
There are Costco blogs, Costco forums, and Costco Facebook groups with thousands of followers. People just absolutely love them.
But why?
At first impression, Costco makes no sense. It looks like a warehouse. Items sit on wooden pallets in dark, the aisles are unmarked.
Brand selections are limited. And you have to pay a $60 annual membership fee just to get in the door.
But still, people love them so much. The company earned a cult following all around the world.
Just when brick-and-mortar retail stores are crumbling because of the growth of e-commerce, Costco still experienced steady growth.
The question is how? How do they do it? That's what we'll be discussing in today's episode.

In this episode, let's talk about Ethereum.
If you've been following cryptocurrencies, you 'd know that there are a lot of fear in the crypto market right now. Probabky worse than the stock market.
Ethereum's price went up as high as around $4,200 per token in mid-May, and over the past week, the price of Ethereum plummeted by more than 40%.
However, this is not something new. The crypto space has always been volatile because it is a space that has yet to mature.
And seeing a drop as much as 40%-50% doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad time to buy.
If you've done your research and you're interested in investing in Ethereum, it can be a smart move to buy when the price is lower. So that you can get more for your money and potentially see greater gains if the price bounces back.
But then again, this is not financial advice. It is only for educational purposes. So make sure to do your own due diligence.
Anyway, before you dive in, it's important to know what you're getting into. That is why, in this episode, I am going to be sharing with you why I'm bullish on Ethereum.

In this episode, let's talk about DarkSide, a company that led to the ransomware attack that took down the Colonial Pipeline.
A few days ago, a major oil pipeline company announced that they are coming back online after a few days of outage because of a cyberattack that caused gas prices to surge and gas stations in many different states to experience shortages.
After nearly a week of being shut down, the Company announced that they are restarting the pipeline operations and that the supply chain would “return to normal” within the next several days.
Now, here's the thing, this is not a small problem. Why?
Because Colonial Pipeline is the largest gas pipeline in the U.S. The pipeline provides nearly half of the East Coast’s fuel supply, and if the company has to go through a prolonged shutdown, it would have caused the oil price to increase and the shortage would have affected many different industries.
Not only that, this ransomware attack was different. It wasn’t an attack on a medium-sized business. It was much, much bigger than that.
On May 7, when Colonial Pipeline announced that they were hit by a ransomware attack and had to shut down operations, gas prices spiked, millions of people were impacted, drawing immediate attention of the press and the FBI.
All of a sudden, everyone knows about this ransomware attack.
And the services enabling the attacks were provided by this company called - DarkSide.
But how did Darkside takedown Colonial Pipeline? That's what we'll be discussing in this episode.

If you've been paying attention to what's happening in the market, you will know that the Nasdaq is down by almost 8% from its all-time high, S&P 500 is down by about 4% and the Dow Jones is down by about 3%.
When you look at the fear and greed index, it is at the scale of 37, and the VIX index spiked up to 65%. All of this indicates 1 thing.
The market is fearful. Why?
That's because people believe that inflation is coming. Prices are going up. And it is definitely going to affect investors.
Based on the April CPI inflation report, the reality is that prices are rising.
Overall, prices in April climbed 4.2% year over year, the biggest gain since September 2008.
From gas and groceries to computers, cars, and clothing, people are already paying more for everyday expenses.
Even if you strip out volatile food and energy prices and calculate only the core CPI inflation, prices also rose by 3% year over year in April.
For month over month, the core CPI inflation rose by 0.9% in April, the biggest one-month jump since 1982.
This April CPI numbers came in higher than what many analysts predicted which is why Wall Street is shaking and the indices are all dropping.
The question is, why is this happening? Why are prices going up? How is inflation going to affect investors?
That is what we'll be discussing in today's episode.

In today's episode, we'll be talking about how a secretary by the name of Bette Nesmith Graham, got fired from her secretary job, started a business, and turned it into a multi-million dollar business.
The product that she was selling is an office supply product that you can get in any stationery shop.
It is one of the world’s most popular and enduring office supplies that almost everyone uses, at least once in their lifetime. Most people use more than that. I've personally used it so many times before and I'm pretty sure you have too.
So...guess what's the product?
Well....this product is a white correction fluid used to conceal handwritten or printed typos, also known as Liquid Paper.
Just like many other women in the 1950s, Bette Nesmith Graham made a living as a secretary.
But between her sub-par typing skills, her critical boss, and the fact that she had to support herself and her young son Michael, she needed to find a way to hold onto her job.
She wasn’t a chemist or an engineer. She was a single mom from Texas who had a brilliant idea while working a 9-to-5 job as a secretary.
Over several decades, she identified a need in the market, organically grew her business, there was no Facebook, Instagram, Google to promote her business, all marketing was done organically and offline, she also had to stave off competition, and bootstrapped her way to eventually selling her business at $47.5million, equivalent to $173m in today’s money.
And she did it all during a time when women were discouraged from pursuing business ventures.
The question is, how did she do all of that and turn her business into a multi-million dollar business? That's what we'll be discussing in today's episode.
