In addition to his success in business, Benioff is known for his philanthropy and the audacious way he challenges…
After the El Paso tragedy, I became as angry and distraught as anyone. We now know the shooter in El Paso was from Dallas, and drove to El Paso specifically to kill Hispanics and immigrants. Unbelievable! Prior to the attack, the killer posted a manifesto on social media where he essentially expressed that the demise…
Last week I was in Miami for NAHREP’s Entre Familia event. It was a big success and after a full day of real estate skills training, I had the chance to talk about the upcoming NAHREP at L’ATTITUDE event. I expressed to the group that some people come to NAHREP to acquire new skills and…

NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard decided a while back that he wanted to finish his career in SoCal where he grew up. Rather than being a part of a super team by joining LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the Lakers, Leonard surprised many by instead choosing the LA Clippers. However, this should not have…
Before Donald Trump denigrated Mexican immigrants in his speech where he announced his candidacy for President, the thought of a businessman like Trump running for president would have been interesting to me. Like a lot of people, I believe we need new blood in Washington with new ideas and free of the cesspool of special…
Although I was disappointed, I wasn’t surprised when HUD announced last week that FHA would not back loans made to DACA recipients. DACA was a designation made by the Obama Administration that provides temporary legal status for a select group of people who were brought to the U.S. when they were small children and have…
