We live in a world with an abundance of valuable information at our fingertips. But the downside is exhaustion from dizzying information overload and a 24-hour news cycle that makes it overwhelming to sift through and process. In fact, in early 2020, 66% of Americans reported being “worn out” by the amount of news.In Thriving on Overload: The Five Powers for Success in a World of Exponential Information (McGraw Hill, 9/6/22), futurist and entrepreneur Ross Dawson contends that the capacity to thrive on limitless information is now the single most important capability for success, yielding not just powerful insight, world-leading expertise, and better decisions, but also improved wellbeing. Ross draws on the experiences of his world-class clients, which include Citibank, Coca-Cola, Google, KPMG, Microsoft, News Limited, Oracle, Procter & Gamble, PwC, and Walmart. He shows how to make information overload something to capitalize on instead of run from—and how this can improve your career (in any field), ventures, investments and life.

What is the season of life you’re in and how are you going to put your financial house in order? Robert Farrington is the founder of The College Investor the #1 tool to help get people out of student loan debt, learn how to earn more money, understand how to start investing and build real wealth. In this Quick Tip Robert explains how it’s not about searching for a big win in the stock market, but implementing long-term, incremental changes."What's gonna make a big difference in your life is consistently investing over time and putting as much money as you possibly can into your investments. And then, if you can just get the market rate of return 10% a year, you are going to be solid by the time you're getting close to retirement, and, if you start this whole process when you're 20 years old 22 years old, you're going to be solid by the time you're 35. That's really the name of the game. It's not about what you invest in, it's not about picking stocks, it is about how much you can possibly get into your investment accounts as early as you physically can."Thanks for the wonderful conversation, Robert.
