  One Fair Wage - Ending...

  Before the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the country, more than six million people earned their living as tipped workers in the service industry. They served us in cafes and restaurants, they delivered food to our homes, they drove us wherever we wanted to go, and they worked in nail salons for as little as $2.13 an hour—the federal tipped minimum wage since 1991—leaving them with next to nothing to get by. 
   
   
   
  These workers, unsurprisingly, were among the most vulnerable workers during the pandemic. As businesses across the country closed down or drastically scaled back their services, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs. As in many other areas, the pandemic exposed the inadequacies of the nation's social safety net and minimum-wage standards. 
   
   
   
  One of New York magazine's "Influentials" of New York City, one of CNN's Visionary Women in 2014, and a White House Champion of Change in 2014, Saru Jayaraman is a nationally acclaimed restaurant activist and the author of the bestselling Behind the Kitchen Door. In her new book, One Fair Wage, Jayaraman shines a light on these workers, illustrating how the people left out of the fight for a fair minimum wage are society's most marginalized. They epitomize the direction of our whole economy, reflecting the precariousness and instability that is increasingly the lot of American labor.

  This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
  "Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things" by Adam Grant challenges the notion of talent worship in our society. While we often celebrate those with innate advantages, Grant reminds us of our capacity for growth and skill development. He presents a fresh perspective on raising aspirations and exceeding expectations, emphasizing that progress is more about effective learning than sheer effort. Grant's book draws on compelling evidence and stories from various contexts, illustrating that our potential is not determined solely by our innate genius but by the character we cultivate. He explores how to develop the character skills and motivations necessary to unlock our hidden potential and design systems that offer opportunities to those who have been underrated or overlooked. Ultimately, the book inspires readers to focus on the journey of personal growth rather than fixating on the peak they aim to reach.

  Power Tools to Make Your Money Work for You Many Christians are aware that God wants them blessed, but they do not understand how to walk in that blessing. For example, the average American household earns $79,000 but faces a staggering $145,000 in debt! Jesus warns us about becoming a slave to money. However, most people only think about the danger that presents to the wealthy. On the contrary, Jesus knew that worrying about money is a major way people become slaves to it (Matthew 6:24-27). Financial freedom gives you the time, resources, and headspace to fully devote yourself to God's calling for your life. MBA and serial entrepreneur Billy Epperhart lays out easy-to-implement, God-given power tools to help you make your money work for you, such as: 7 steps to financial freedom 7 attitudes you need to excel in building wealth How to live on 80% and invest 20% to build wealth. You can eliminate debt, build wealth, and live in the blessings of God!
