CNBC, while there may be a shortage of homes to buy, there are numerous

examples of individuals who have amassed significant wealth by investing in

real estate. From big names like Barbara Corcoran to smaller-time investors

like a couple in Michigan who earn $11,000 a month from their properties, real

estate has proven to be a lucrative investment for many. According to a survey

by LendingTree, real estate is the most popular way to build wealth, with 45%

of respondents choosing it as their preferred investment option. The stock

market came in second at 32%, followed by savings bonds, cash, and

tax-advantaged retirement accounts.

Meierhoefer , a retired Air

Force officer, started his first company in 2005, focusing on consulting,

employee skill development, and program management. These areas remain his

focus today and have expanded internationally. He has always had a passion for

education and helping people become successful. As a business owner, he

realized the importance of saving for retirement and researched the best ways

to do so. He found that owning tangible assets, particularly residential real

estate, was the most advantageous and government-supported investment option.

This led him to develop a residential real estate portfolio worth around $2.6

million, and he continues to grow it. Along his journey, he has gained valuable

insights, made many relationships, learned about the pitfalls of property

purchases, and made both good and bad decisions that ultimately led him to

achieve economic independence. He now coaches, mentors, and teaches others

based on his experience.

Employers are now looking for different things in the recruiting process, as per a July 2023 Survey of 5,000 employers conducted by LinkedIn. Instead of just focusing on traditional resumes, they are more interested in evaluating candidates on their soft skills such as leadership, listening, and their ability to demonstrate a positive direction of purpose. In other words, having good people skills is more important than ever before. Additionally, LinkedIn reports that hiring managers typically choose only 5 to 10 resumes for interview out of hundreds of applications received. This means that only about 10-20% of resumes make it through the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to get an interview, while 80-90% are screened out through human review.Picsume is a platform that eliminates the need for traditional resumes and instead creates live dynamic work profiles for candidates. These profiles contain only relevant, pertinent and verified information. The platform's proprietary technology extracts current job postings, curates opportunities across Canada, and pairs candidates directly with employers. With their Applicant Tracking System (ATS) optimized specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, Picsume plans to revolutionize recruiting and staff management in the 21st century.

your typical Hollywood narrative. He has traded touchdowns for footlights, and

his journey has been as thrilling and unpredictable as any movie script. From

charming Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" to tackling action alongside

Robert Redford in "Sneakers," RC has danced with Hollywood royalty

and carved his own unique path. His early days showcased a chameleon-like

versatility. He donned the iconic black suit of the "Tie Guy" in

"Pretty Woman," then seamlessly pivoted to dramatic intensity in

"Spider-Man" as the original Eddie Brock before Sam Raimi re-imagined

the character. RC wasn't just about the big screen, though. He graced our TV

screens in shows like "The 90s Girl" and conquered the commercial

world, his infectious smile and charisma lighting up living rooms nationwide.

But acting was just one facet of RC's creative diamond. He delved into the

world of casting, finding and nurturing talent behind the scenes. He even

turned producer, bringing stories to life from a different perspective. Yet,

the call of the spotlight never truly dimmed. In 2013, "Lie Detector"

thrust RC back into the leading man role. His portrayal of the complex

protagonist garnered critical acclaim, proving his depth and range as an actor.

It was a triumphant return, showcasing that RC's talent only matured with time.

But RC's story isn't just about Hollywood. It's about defying expectations,

about proving that dreams have no expiration date. In his late forties, he

walked back onto a different kind of stage: the football field. Not for

nostalgia, but for the sheer joy of the game. Enrolling in community college

classes for the fun of it, RC found himself back in pads and helmet, rewriting

the record books as the oldest college football player ever to have over 100

plays non-special teams. This incredible feat wasn't just about tackles; it was

about passion, about proving that age is just a number when you have the heart

of a champion. And it's this very spirit that fuels his latest project: a

documentary chronicling his journey from Hollywood darling to gridiron legend.

At age 54, he is poised to make history yet again by signing on to become the

oldest professional football player of all time with more than 100 plays with

the Wheeling Miners arena football team in West Virginia Spring of 2024. The

first game is on April 13, 2024. RC Everbeck's story is a testament to the

power of resilience, the magic of reinvention, and the unwavering belief that

anything is possible. He's an actor, a producer, a football hero, and an

inspiration - a true Hollywood original who continues to write his own

remarkable chapters. For more information, please visit
