In her early 20s, Aly Raisman couldn't tell partners what she needed. Now she speaks up from the first text or the first date — and finds that men respond better to it, not worse. Communicating a need early is a 30-second conversation; waiting 50 times makes it a 3-hour fight.
The money isn't the danger — the parenting is. Dave told a couple whose young sons inherited $400K that UTMA accounts are the right vehicle, but the bigger job is raising kids who know how to work, save, and give before they ever learn about the windfall. Money magnifies character; it doesn't create it.
When their mother died in 1976 and their father followed just 15 months later, a young Lindsey Graham stepped up as his 13-year-old sister Darline's legal guardian while he was still in law school. He later formally adopted her so she could receive his military benefits — a bond that ultimately led her to the US Senate.
LaFontaine was admitted to Cedars Sinai in 2008 with a pulmonary embolism and died September 1 at age 68 — despite having quit smoking two decades prior. His last ever recorded line, in a Phineas and Ferb episode, was 'In a world.' It couldn't have been scripted better.
After Ella's murder, her ex-husband Jason Hans and his wife Natalia adopted her young son Alex. Jason's reasoning was simple: he loved Alex because Ella had loved him. Natalia, who had no children, became a full-time mom overnight. It's the rare happy ending in a Dateline story.
Ella's neighbor JoLynn Stevenson describes her as completely devoted — someone who wanted to give her children a magical childhood to protect them from whatever she herself had been through. She never spoke negatively about her kids, never burdened others with frustration. It was, JoLynn says, an incredible skill.
Howard Marks admits he stumbled into every major career decision — Citibank, bonds, California — through luck and haphazard drift, not intention. He only began living deliberately at roughly 49 when he co-founded Oaktree. The lesson: it's never too late to start.
A Wall Street therapist once said his patients' problems were inversely proportional to the support they got from their fathers. Marks says too many successful men feel compelled to assert superiority over their sons — and deliberately chose never to be that kind of father.
Kenzie walked into the Call Her Daddy studio and immediately told Alex Cooper that the podcast taught her how to perform oral sex — and that she still gets compliments because of it. It is one of the most disarming, hilarious, and oddly wholesome podcast intros in recent memory.
During her break from nursing school after failing her final exam by 0.04 points, Kenzie got new bangs and 400cc breast implants — paid for with her nanny money. When she returned to class, nobody recognised her.
