Hollywood is great at telling a story. I have become addicted to HBO's show call, "Succession". This is a story about a family that are in business with their father, with a little mental instability, who jerks around his children. However, the father owns the company and his sons and daughters are all fighting to be in control after their father is gone. Now, skip to the part where the father has a brain aneurysm, collapses and goes into a coma. The trust and succession has not been agreed to, nothing was signed. Who is in control? Every business needs to think about this story. If you need help or have questions, send me an email to info@lodge-co.com or text me at 818.252.5682

The word "Default" is a very ugly word. Why, because if you co-sign on a loan you become responsible for that debt. It is DUMB in capital letters. Debt is dumb to get into through a co-signer on a loan. I know that you want to help out, but think first about helping yourself by staying out of debt. No matter how much you love your kids, things happen and kids do default on their loans, that you co-signed on. Stop it.

Every single day the Congress and other government levels are producing political nonsense, pushing the constitution to the side and creating their own set of laws, ignoring the constitution. California just did this and thank goodness the federal court stopped the law they passed to say you have to publish your tax returns to run for President, a clear violation of the Constitution. The demand for impeachment in Congress right now is in violation of the constitution, but they are doing it based on hate for the President. They raised their right hand and said - I defend and will protect the Constitution. And they they push it to the side and creat havic in this nation. Nothing is getting done because of political hate. We have to hold these politicians at all levels accountable for doing political nonsense.

Yesterday the state of California in their legistlature voted on a new law that will mandate rent control over the entire state. Now the people of California voted against Prop 10 that was a rent control proposition. Californians said - NO. But, politicians again are overriding the citizens of California. This is not democracy, it is socialism. California has become the Cuba of the United States. The peoples voice no longer matter, it is only what the government wants. Also, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that said, disruptive students can no be sent home. That puts the safety of teachers in danger. California has gone to the Cuba style of government. I left California, moved my business and my life to Florida, to escape California corruption. I am a refugee from California.

There is conflict and disputes within companies all the time. Leadership can cause conflict. Employees do not know the goals of the leader, no communication from the leader to his team, and not following through. Employees begin to wonder if the leader is really a leader. Managers, supervisors, senior executives, all have a role to work with their employees or teams. There is often points of directions that come under dispute on projects. A third party mediator needs to be brought into the conflict so it is confidential and the team and leader get back on track. Just by being heard, confidentially, the team can get back on the right road. Mediation works and should be utilized by human resources when conflict and disputes arise.

Politics is no longer a professional that cares about the American people. It is all about power. 700,000 homeless American kids and the politicians only focus on those at the boarder who are not even Americans. We hame mentally ill and drug addicts setting up tent and cardboard box cities inside Los Angeles and other cities. However, no politician has a plan for mental health and the homeless. So politicians don't run to represent us, they run to gain power. Power is their only objective. We need to hold politicians accountable for our needs in our communities.

Your resume is your professional life story that you will tell employers. The better and shorter the story the greater the success. If your resume is too long employers will put it to the side because they have to go through hundreds of resume's for one job. Keep it to one page and put good stuff on it. You don't need to tell your whole life story. Good questions at the interview will draw out other information about you. If you need help, send me a text at 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

We never think divorce can happen in our own lives. But it happens and when it does happen if you work with a mediator in setting the separation rules the process is less stressful. Working with a mediator who can work with both parties can help each person to work and agree to a clean and understood process before the actual divorce takes place. Don't try to go through divorce alone. Get support from professionals and from your friends that will be there for you. Set the rules in advance so when the attorneys do get involved there are agreements in place and the attorneys can follow through on the legalities.

A friend asked me last night, what will my legacy be? Now my life is not over yet, things can change, but it is time for all of us to re-examine our lives. Ask yourself what you want to be remembered as.

Trump is doing the right actions towards China. China has been a sneaky player for a very long time and something had to be done. What my trouble with Trump is his attack on the Federal Reserve Chairman, wrong place to attack. The economy is doing well at the moment, let's keep the interest rates where they are. If our economy slides we will need those remaining interest rates to bring down to boost the economy. Leave them where they are at. Trillions of foreign investment dollars are flowing into our country because they see us as safe. Trump, focus on China, not on the Federal Reserve. Thise talking and hoping for a recession are idiots. We have a strong economy and Americans want that. But the left never wants what Americans want. We have an economy that is strongest in all the world. We will do fine under the current economic policies. Send me your questions or comments by texting 818.252.5682 WWW.LODGE-CO.COM

The city of Los Angeles has a health hazard about to explode and city politician's refuse to act. The city has a population explosion of homeless. Drug addicts, mentally ill, and others, have set up camps on every street they can live in.

Disease spreads fast and it could take over the state if they refuse to do anything, lives are at risk.
