How many times have you looked at your email, found an invitation to join a class action lawsuit, and wondered if it’s even worth it? While there’s usually little to no downside to joining these lawsuits, it may take years for the case to settle with a laughably minimal payout due to the large number of claimants. However, sometimes the real payoff comes in the form of programmatic relief the way it did for CPA Steve Rabin when he took on PricewaterhouseCoopers for age discrimination. Today host Jack Russo finds out how Steve Rabin opened the door for other older financial workers facing age discrimination in hiring decisions.

For years Joe Cucchiara has been stating that big changes were coming to real estate. It’s been a long time coming, but the industry is finally being forced to change and adapt to new technology. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) took a major blow today after being found guilty of artificially inflating commissions. In addition to paying $418M over the next few years, the NAR must also implement a number of systemic changes that will benefit consumers. Is this lawsuit enough to force the real estate industry to adapt to technology and begin streamlining the homebuying process to benefit consumers? Today Jack Russo joins Joe Cucchiara on Real Estate Radio Live to find out what htis loss means for the real estate industry.

Let’s face it, businesses love to show off. When you’re representing a brand, you want to show off that brand with office spaces that are clean and comfortable with all the amenities a workspace requires. Before covid ("BC") even startup companies sunk big money and effort into making their workplace attractive. Now post-COVID ("PC") hybrid workstations and shared open workstations have become standard. In fact, companies have downscaled their physical spaces since there is no need to have a giant building that sits empty most days. So what does a startup or even any size company do when it needs a meeting place that isn’t cluttered and is more private than a coffee house? Host Jack Russo sits down with Veery Offices Founders Vickey Li and Johnny Yeh to learn about flexible office spaces in Silicon Valley that companies can rent whenever they need them.

Years ago, the height of legal technology was having a keynote system that would allow you to search through printed case summaries using indexes. Thankfully the internet has made research faster and more efficient compared to scanning through yards of paper, but AI could make research even faster. When Mark Doble went to law school, he figured out he was far more interested in legal tech than practicing law. Thankfully Mark didn’t let his education go to waste when he formed Alexi – an AI based platform that understands and relays complex laws in a way that will aid lawyers through the entire legal process. Listen in as host Jack Russo puts Alexi to the test to see just how relevant it can be & how much potential it has to become the new standard for legal research.

Between the many lawsuits of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, its hard to remember if there has ever been so much news regarding state or federal litigation. The Supreme Court unsurprisingly ruled that Colorado could not remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot as we cannot have 50 states doing 50 different things in an otherwise very binary election. What people did not predict was a unanimous decision which also objected to reasoning that only Congress can address electoral college issues. Can the courts handle the massive onslaught of cases? Host Jack Russo asks Professor Rafael Chodos what more can happen in these cases and the effect they will have on future politicians.

The computer has come a long way since the 1970’s when we programmed on mainframes. Back then it was obvious that something better would come around, but did we really think computer use would become so prevalent? Today computers and the internet are used everywhere. From stores to banks, we use them to do everything from ordering food to sending our friends money after they pick up the tab. Unfortunately, criminals also know how to use and abuse computers. Not only do countries hack each other for data, but the average consumer is too often tricked into revealing sensitive information. Phishing has developed into a major issue, but luckily something we can do something about. Host Jack Russo asks Owen Wollum how companies can train their employees to detect phishing scams before it’s too late.

Can a company’s potential only be as good as its culture? A lot goes on in a workplace between hiring and firing and what happens in that company is fundamental for attracting top quality talent. One thing that has become clear since the pandemic is that companies can no longer push employees back into the office. This alone has presented a new set of obstacles as in-person interactions are still highly valuable in the workplace and younger generations may suffer from the lack of socialization and mentoring. Host Jack Russo looks to Margret Graziano and Andrew Gardiner to discuss managing a hybrid workplace that balances employee wants with company needs.

What do current college students studying product design and entrepreneurship see as to their future lifespans, healthspans, and workspans? Is it really that crazy to think that living to 100 years old and being healthy through it is a realistic probability for society’s youngest members? Though none of us can predict the future, we can safely assume that our health span and life span will increase alongside modern medicines advancements. As awesome as a longer health and lifespan sounds, a life that is both long and rich will require funding from a longer work span. Today Jack Russo heads to USF to talk to our future knowledge workers about how to create intellectual property over a long long long workspan, healthspan and lifespan.

Have the two parties of the United States ever been further apart? Collaboration and cooperation rank low on congress’ to-do list facing another election year. Despite multiple impeachments, lawsuits, and inflammatory statements, Donald Trump remains the Republican favorite to run against Joe Biden. Much of Trump’s appeal seems to be rooted in his anti-establishment views and has capitalized on congress’ history of not tackling issues. The Republican party is fractionalizing at an increasing rate under the pressure to remain loyal to the party which is only compromising the United States’ ability to evolve. Is there any way to bring the country back together? Today host Jack Russo and Russ Irwin (Patriot/Activist) breakdown the current political field and look to AI as a springboard for diplomacy.

Is there any factor more important to evolution than forward-looking collaboration? Whether it’s family, society, business, or politics, leaders are needed to bring people together and inspire them to work towards a single goal. However, there is one major drawback to mass collaboration – and it hurts those with the most power. The more information and resources a CEO shares (especially in a knowledge worker environment), the more his or her power is diminished. On the other hand, keeping information secret among a small group of officials prevents the company from co-creating and being competitive. Is there any way for leaders to win? Today host Jack Russo and Tom Casey look at Congress' unwillingness to collaborate and compare it to Gen X leaders who are ready to collaborate as they move into senior positions.

It doesn’t matter if you work for a boutique company or the biggest, most well-known global organization, when the numbers don’t add up, the unfortunate answer could be embezzlement. Over in New Jersey, John Dunlea and his wife Nicole Alexander were charged with embezzling more than $1.5M from the McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter law firm over the last 5 years where they both held financial roles. The couples’ scheme was found to be guilty of failure to pay taxes and theft by deception in which they gave themselves bonuses and charged personal flights and more to the law firm. With tax season just getting started, host Jack Russo and CPA Steve Rabin discuss better accounting and payroll practices, and training staff to catch phishing scams that target big firms.

The GOP are narrowing in on this year’s presidential candidate, and former President Donald Trump has been the loudest frontrunner from the beginning. As popular as Trump has been, his official nomination has yet to be finalized – and no one is sure if Trump can legitimately run. After initially denying to hear a case regarding insurrection as grounds to invalidate Trump from running, SCOTUS is now being pushed to rule on the matter after Trump urged them to repeal Colorado’s decision for violating the 14th Amendment. Do states have the power to disqualify candidates from national ballots? Today host Jack Russo asks Professor Robert Acker if the Supreme Court can unify under a unanimous 9-0 decision regarding state’s rights in a presidential election.

We’ve all been there. The holiday has passed and even though you’ve opened your gifts, you’re still browsing the web for things you’ll buy next month… but why wait for the new year? If there’s business equipment out there that you’ll use, it might make sense to buy it now and snag the tax deduction for 2023. Another thing you’ll want to consider is deferring capital gains by moving them to a qualified opportunity zone fund. Get your taxes in order now while you still have a few days left! Host Jack Russo and CPA, Steve Rabin explain the risks and requirements for getting those last-minute tax moves in before popping the champagne.

Put the work first, yourself second and the audience last. It may sound counter intuitive for aspiring artists looking to make money, but this basic philosophy goes beyond paint.

Today Jack Russo encourages everyone to discover their inner artist and embrace creativity as a way of being.

Self-care, both mental and physical, is something that takes greater priority in our lives as we age. Leading a healthy lifestyle with lots of exercise as a primary medical plan was highly advocated by the late Dr. Walter Bortz, but host Jack Russo wants everyone to live a self-fulfilling Hundred Healthy Years. With some help from Dr. Leonard Hayflick to understand what causes aging and what affects a person’s longevity, Jack heads to Stanford to emphasize the value of optimizing your health, intelligence, emotional intelligence, purpose, ambition, freedom and compassion lifestyle from an early age. Aging, down to a cellular level, cannot be stopped or reversed, but we can always do our best to make our hundred years healthy and amazing across all levels of life.

We’ve witnessed unprecedented levels of innovation in the AI world over the last couple of years.

So, what’s next for artificial intelligence? If having your own AI powered personal assistant sounds amazing, then tune in as host Jack Russo asks Ray Wu about the journey artificial intelligence is taking.

Anyone who has looked into how movies are made knows that the plot doesn’t really begin to take shape until the storyboarding phase. In law, presenting a case to a jury works similarly, but throwing facts and figures around in the courthouse does not hit the same as a movie. No matter how clear the liability is, the jury understands best when presented with several mini stories that show how someone’s life has been impacted by the damages. To do this, lawyers like our host Jack Russo turn to guys like David Mann for help creating stories that will emotionally resonate with the jury and maximize the awarded damages to the wronged client. Win over juries with a solid story using the facts that is designed to reach them on a human level and walk away victoriously for your client by visitng David at https://www.asimplemessage.com/.

When Trump overhauled the tax code in 2017, a one-time repatriation tax was enacted on foreign earnings. Like many Americans, the Moores were invested overseas when they received a $15,000 tax bill. Since they reinvested the profit elsewhere and never realized any actual cash, the Moores are fighting the taxes and have taken their battle to the Supreme Court. As a result, the constitutionality of the 16th Amendment is now under attack and could be redefined despite SCOTUS’s reluctance to disrupt the tax code. What now qualifies as taxable income? Today host Jack Russo and CPA, Steve Rabin discuss how the Moores could have planned better to avoid this tax bill and other tax tips to consider.

At the end of December, we welcome each new year with wonder and excitement of what things may come. After a rough year of two wars, high interest rates and a stock market that keeps going, 2024 is not receiving the same fanfare as previous years. People are plain irritated about the condition of the world and the feeling of being in constant flux. On the other hand, CEOs have a whole different set of worries, and surprisingly AI and climate change are not topping the list the way they previously had. Host Jack Russo and CEO, Tom Casey discuss the big issues CEOs are worried about and how optimistic they are for a solution.
