My AI agent Named GinaChat helped me put this list together because it is a shame that our wealthy politrickians can shut down the government, still collect their paychecks, and yet cut millions of people off from benefits that feed families. The argument is not about whether there is abuse. We know some exists. But cutting people off completely like this is cruel.We hope and pray everyone can find a way to feed themselves without having to hurt anyone else, especially those with little babies who need formula. No one in a nation this rich should ever have to choose between eating and surviving.<figure id="figure-ouq3h2hkavmh2z619w"><img id="ouq3h2hkavmh2z619w" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2164159009/photo/christian-and-prayer-christian-group-of-people-holding-hands-praying-worships-together-to.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=r16W5N6stWu3wJZe___6mhO4OoWjoAWTigyZkjDrEIk=" alt="Christian and prayer.

Call or text the following national services first: • The USDA National Hunger Hotline (1‑866‑3‑HUNGRY / 1‑866‑348‑6479 or 1‑877‑8‑HAMBRE / 1‑877‑842‑6273) operates Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–8:00 PM Eastern time. Representatives can locate nearby meal sites, food banks and social services. You can also text 914‑342‑7744 with a keyword such as “food” or “meals” to get an automated response with nearby resources. • Dial 2‑1‑1 on your phone to reach a local United Way/211 service. USA.gov explains that calling 211 connects you with agencies and community organisations that can help you find emergency food. If you can’t reach 2‑1‑1, call 1‑844‑872‑4681 for assistance. • The SNAP toll‑free information number (1‑800‑221‑5689) can answer questions about benefits. For pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers or children under five, the WIC program may provide supplemental food; state WIC agencies handle applications. The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) provides free USDA‑grown foods through local agencies to low‑income people.How to get help:Call or text the numbers above to get referrals for meal sites, food pantries or free groceries in your community. Visit the websites of your state’s food‑bank network (below). Many sites have “Find Food” or “Food Finder” tools. Reach out to community or religious organisations and school districts, which often operate meal programs and pantries. If you’re pregnant or have children under five, contact your state WIC agency. In declared disasters, ask if you qualify for Disaster‑SNAP (D‑SNAP).

Calling 211 or the National Hunger Hotline can quickly connect you with meal programs, food banks and help applying for other nutrition assistance. Remember that programs like WIC and TEFAP are designed to help people who do not qualify for or have lost SNAP benefits. Reach out early, provide your zip code or address when asked, and bring identification if required at pick‑up sites; many programs do not require proof of income for emergency assistance.

It shines for a moment, but anyone who has earned the real thing hears the offbeat tick. You are not fooling them; you are medicating yourself.&nbsp; The Psychology of Pretending People do not buy fake degrees because they are evil. They buy them because they are empty. That paper is not an accomplishment; it is anesthesia. It whispers, “You matter too,” when deep down, you do not believe it.The ego hates unfinished dreams, so it finds shortcuts. Instead of enduring the study, the sleepless nights, and the mental warfare of real mastery, you buy the costume and call it “Doctor.” It feels good for a moment, then comes the static: “Will they find out?”You start performing intellect instead of embodying it. You talk faster, drop names harder, and fear that authenticity might expose you. That is not living; that is maintaining a cover story.&nbsp; Honorary or Hollow An honorary doctorate given by a legitimate university is a gesture of respect. One purchased to patch insecurity is fraud, not only on paper but on the soul.Many churches, nonprofits, and online groups discovered the hunger for validation and monetized it. For a few hundred dollars, a robe, and a photo, they sell borrowed glory. You post it, smile at the comments, but the mirror knows the truth. You did not earn it. You rented respect for a day.&nbsp; When Pretending Becomes Perjury Federal investigators do not see fake degrees as vanity; they see them as crime.In the Degrees Matter case, more than twenty people were charged for using counterfeit nursing diplomas. Some touched real patients. When the lie unraveled, so did their lives. Arrests, revoked licenses, and permanent disgrace followed.You can recover from failure. You cannot recover from being exposed as fake. Modern HR verifies everything. Lying about credentials is employment fraud, and fraud has consequences.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-zyfh7aro8mh0psoj8"><img id="zyfh7aro8mh0psoj8" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1468841439/photo/wheelchair-bound-man-listening-to-a-psychiatrist.jpg?b=1&s=2048x2048&w=0&k=20&c=avewms2PxqzyqJuh90JtemaPsBzuNk-xyEk-Fwef5pQ=" alt="Wheelchair bound man listening to a psychiatrist" title="Wheelchair bound man listening to a psychiatrist" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure> The Advisor's Lens Fake degrees are not ambition; they are shame management. You are not chasing knowledge; you are chasing applause. You crave recognition more than revelation.But your body knows truth. It leaks through anxiety, overcompensation, and exhaustion. Every handshake feels like an interrogation. Every introduction feels like a test. That quiet hum of “What if they find out?” corrodes your peace.You do not need therapy for faking it. You need therapy to understand why you felt you had to.&nbsp; Vanity Masquerading as Virtue Even good people want to be seen. Veterans, artists, and leaders all crave acknowledgment. There is a difference between being grateful for applause and living for it.Some study to understand. Others study to be understood. One builds a foundation; the other builds a façade.Applause fades. Purpose compounds. <figure id="figure-9g3iicodcmh0prnpx"><img id="9g3iicodcmh0prnpx" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2172573451/photo/portrait-of-nice-young-man-finger-touch-temple-think-wear-pullover-isolated-on-vibrant-yellow.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=VPhsMwkp7328ZBrLkGXTuh1prVl7C3Hw-RFRWjLVGlU=" alt="Portrait of nice young man finger touch temple think wear pullover isolated on vibrant yellow color background" title="Portrait of nice young man finger touch temple think wear pullover isolated on vibrant yellow color background" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2172573451/photo/portrait-of-nice-young-man-finger-touch-temple-think-wear-pullover-isolated-on-vibrant-yellow.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=VPhsMwkp7328ZBrLkGXTuh1prVl7C3Hw-RFRWjLVGlU=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure> The Real Flex Authenticity is the highest status symbol left.The real doctorate is not framed; it is forged. It comes through discipline, failure, and the quiet grind that turns competence into confidence.Titles fade. Truth endures. When you are built on honesty, you do not flinch, you do not over-explain, and you do not fear exposure. You are who you say you are, and that is the ultimate flex.You can buy attention, but not integrity. You can fake a credential, but not credibility. And when truth arrives, counterfeit confidence is always the first to crack.Stop buying validation. Start building proof. That is the only degree that counts.&nbsp; Why This Conversation Matters This is not only about degrees. It is about identity.Every week, I meet people cracking under the pressure of performance. Professionals, pastors, parents, and CEOs all suffocating under the weight of pretending.That is why we push people to do the hard work. To get therapy. To unpack pain. To stop performing and start healing.Because the goal is not to look successful; it is to be whole.

Production Stack vs. MVP Stack: How to Choose the Right Build Plan for Your App or Platform By Kellen Coleman, M.A. AI &amp; Business Manager | CPRFirm.com | MillionaireX.Ai <figure id="figure-35ak8s8voimgwmv8jj"><img id="35ak8s8voimgwmv8jj" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/12ZHmZxakhOzeLI2j2ix3FwC2PVyNGzDDGzA40K4LPZLXWKhZXm4lMEn61o0MTQM.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/12ZHmZxakhOzeLI2j2ix3FwC2PVyNGzDDGzA40K4LPZLXWKhZXm4lMEn61o0MTQM.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure> Meta Description Before building your next app or digital platform, decide whether you need a full production stack for scale or an MVP stack for speed. This guide breaks down both approaches, Flutter vs. Lovable.dev, to help you build smarter, faster, and with purpose.&nbsp; The Real Question: Speed or Ownership? Every founder, developer, or creative visionary faces this crossroads: build something fast to test the market, or take the time to build something powerful that can scale globally.Choosing the right stack defines how quickly you launch, how much you own, and how far your product can go. Let’s explore both sides without bias.&nbsp; 🏗️ The Production Stack (Flutter + Web) Goal: A high-performance platform built for long-term growth, scalability, and full brand control.What It Looks Like A production stack is built for creators and companies who plan to own their infrastructure and scale.Web front-end: Frameworks like Next.js or Webflow handle your marketing site, media pages, and SEO-optimized portal. Mobile app: Built with Flutter, giving you one codebase for iOS and Android and near-native performance. Backend: Powered by Firebase, GCP, or Supabase, managing users, payments, and streaming. Streaming integration: Connects to YouTube Live, RTMP feeds, or APIs for global audience reach. Monetization: Stripe manages recurring payments, subscriptions, and in-app purchases. Analytics: Your own database and warehouse capture user data and behavior metrics — you own the insight. Team: Requires engineers for Flutter, backend, and web, plus UI/UX design and product management. &nbsp;<figure id="figure-darxrhnssmgwmvqa0"><img id="darxrhnssmgwmvqa0" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/cIBGrZ960f3TiVvhdnNsaJpjTpiIglyMnJt5cuDRmR2UZQwbkhWvSKHWC4F1Estr.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 25% 50%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="25%" data-positiony="50%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/cIBGrZ960f3TiVvhdnNsaJpjTpiIglyMnJt5cuDRmR2UZQwbkhWvSKHWC4F1Estr.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 25% 50%;"></figure> Build Plan: 60 Days to Launch Weeks 1–2: Define product goals and MVP features, and choose your stack. Weeks 3–4: Create your landing page and Flutter app skeleton with UI theme and login. Weeks 5–6: Integrate backend features for streaming, payments, and authentication. Weeks 7–8: Develop main features: content feed, media embeds, and subscriptions. Weeks 9–10: Internal testing and beta launch. Weeks 11–12: Public release with analytics, monetization, and full marketing funnel. &nbsp; Pros and Cons Pros:Full control of data, brand, and platform. Highly scalable for global growth. Customizable for advanced features and integrations. Cons:Slower and more expensive to build. Requires a technical team. Longer runway before revenue. &nbsp; ⚙️ The MVP Stack (Lovable.dev) Goal: Get your idea live quickly, test with real users, and validate your concept with minimal cost.What It Looks Like The MVP approach is perfect for entrepreneurs who value speed, iteration, and proof of concept over polish.Front-end: AI-generated web and mobile-web apps using prompts in Lovable.dev. Backend: Pre-built integration with Supabase for authentication and storage. Deployment: One-click hosting, with optional GitHub export for editing. Limitations: Not ideal for heavy traffic or complex performance needs. Team: You as the product owner, possibly with one developer for adjustments. &nbsp; Build Plan: 4 Weeks to Validation Week 1: Create prompts and define your app’s structure. Week 2: Auto-generate your UI, core flows, and basic payment functions. Week 3: Test with small user groups, collect feedback, and refine. Week 4: Launch your MVP publicly, track metrics, and validate product-market fit. &nbsp; Pros and Cons Pros:Extremely fast to market (days or weeks). Lower cost and smaller team. Great for investor demos and early validation. Cons:Limited flexibility and scalability. Vendor lock-in risk if the platform changes. Might need a complete rebuild for production-grade growth. &nbsp; 🚀 Which Stack Should You Choose? It depends on your stage and goals.Choose MVP Stack (Lovable.dev) if you need to prove the idea fast, get feedback, or show investors traction. Choose Production Stack (Flutter) if you’re building for the long term and want full control, custom features, and ownership. Many teams use both:Phase 1 (0–6 months): Launch MVP with Lovable.dev for validation. Phase 2 (6–24 months): Rebuild in Flutter to scale globally. Phase 3 (2+ years): Expand into mobile apps, subscription tiers, media licensing, and international growth. &nbsp; 💡 Revenue and Brand Strategy No matter which stack you start with, the fundamentals stay the same:Monetize through subscriptions and memberships Leverage ads and sponsorships for consistent income Build offline and online events for your community License your media and content distribution globally Always remember: your brand, data, and audience relationships are the real assets. Build on platforms that you control, not ones that control you.&nbsp; 🧠 Final Thought Choosing between a production stack and an MVP stack isn’t about picking a side; it’s about aligning your tech strategy with your mission and momentum.Speed validates your vision. Ownership builds your empire.&nbsp; Written by Kellen Coleman Book time if you need help AI &amp; Business Manager | Coleman Public Relations &amp; Consulting Firm LLC 📍 www.CPRFirm.com 💼 MillionaireX.Ai

Keep your money digital, earn 6 percent, and skip the bank. They’re supposed to stay locked at one dollar USDC, Tether, DAI.But those platforms aren’t paying you out of kindness.

Billions disappeared overnight.&nbsp;🧠 Staking Ain’t Free Staking coins sounds like easy money. Lock it up, chill, and collect. But those so-called guaranteed rewards are not guaranteed at all. Rates change. Platforms fail. New users feed old ones. That’s not passive income. That’s musical chairs.And the mental game is deeper. You see someone flexing their “crypto bag” and you feel behind.

Real Wealth vs. Crypto Hype: Why Dave Ramsey Is Right

<h2>The Importance of a Strong Brand Identity</h2>
In today's competitive market, establishing a strong brand identity is more crucial than ever. A well-defined brand not only distinguishes your business from the competition but also fosters customer loyalty and trust. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), businesses now have unprecedented opportunities to leverage data-driven insights for building and refining their brand identity.

AI-driven insights can transform how brands understand their audiences, streamline marketing efforts, and enhance customer experiences. By harnessing the power of AI, businesses can create more personalized and impactful brand identities that resonate with their target audiences.

<figure id="figure-20c7pffv44lmgnxtzk7"><img id="20c7pffv44lmgnxtzk7" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2164074321/photo/letters-flying-from-megaphone.jpg?b=1&s=2048x2048&w=0&k=20&c=LMEkEbO3m3HFc8zICEZQDNzBUU5kz75SOsWwGlq5ihY=" alt="branding strategy" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9"></figure>

<h2>Leveraging AI for Audience Understanding</h2>
One of the primary challenges in building a strong brand identity is understanding your audience's needs and preferences. AI technologies, such as machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, enable businesses to analyze vast amounts of data to gain deep insights into consumer behavior.

By analyzing customer interactions, social media engagement, and purchasing patterns, AI can help identify trends and preferences that might not be immediately apparent. This information allows companies to tailor their branding strategies to align more closely with audience expectations, thereby enhancing brand relevance and appeal.

<figure id="figure-0buwbahmh9mgnxtzk7"><img id="0buwbahmh9mgnxtzk7" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2231995880/photo/agentic-robotics-concept-with-intelligent-digital-avatars.jpg?b=1&s=2048x2048&w=0&k=20&c=PYc4Jrf4V6YN58d1WYLVLzKP-qjLhe37tOI5g0tD3A0=" alt="ai data analysis" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9"></figure>

<h2>Enhancing Creativity with AI</h2>
While creativity is often seen as an exclusively human trait, AI can assist in the creative process by offering unique insights and suggestions. AI tools can analyze industry trends, competitor strategies, and consumer feedback to inspire innovative branding ideas.

For example, AI can help generate creative content by identifying popular themes and tones that resonate with your audience. This ensures that your brand messaging remains fresh and engaging, ultimately contributing to a stronger brand identity.

<h2>Optimizing Marketing Strategies</h2>
AI-driven insights are invaluable for optimizing marketing strategies. By analyzing data across multiple channels, AI can determine the most effective marketing tactics and channels for reaching your audience. This allows businesses to allocate resources more efficiently, ensuring that marketing efforts yield the highest possible return on investment.

Moreover, AI can help in real-time tracking of campaign performance, allowing for quick adjustments and improvements. This agility is essential in today's fast-paced digital environment, where consumer preferences can shift rapidly.

<h2>Personalizing Customer Experiences</h2>
Personalization is a key component of a strong brand identity. With AI, businesses can deliver highly personalized experiences that cater to individual customer needs and preferences. This level of personalization can significantly enhance customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

AI technologies can analyze customer data to predict future needs and behaviors, allowing businesses to offer personalized recommendations, promotions, and content. This not only strengthens the customer-brand relationship but also differentiates the brand in a crowded marketplace.

<h2>Ensuring Consistency Across Touchpoints</h2>
Consistency is critical in maintaining a strong brand identity. AI can help ensure that brand messaging and visuals are consistent across all customer touchpoints, from social media to customer service interactions. This consistency reinforces brand recognition and trust.

AI tools can monitor brand mentions and sentiment across various platforms, providing insights into how the brand is perceived. Businesses can use this information to make informed decisions about messaging and branding strategies.

<h2>Future-Proofing Your Brand</h2>
As technology continues to evolve, staying ahead of the curve is essential for maintaining a strong brand identity. By integrating AI into branding efforts, businesses can remain agile and responsive to emerging trends and consumer expectations.

AI-driven insights provide a competitive edge, enabling brands to adapt quickly to changes in the market and maintain relevance. Investing in AI technology is not just about current advantages but also about future-proofing your brand for long-term success.

Building a Strong Brand Identity with AI-Driven Insights

Why So Many Entertainers and Athletes End Up Broke Some love the headlines. Another star loses it all, and everyone says they should have known better. Talent does not come with a money manual. Mastery in one arena rarely transfers by magic to another.Wealth lasts when you master the right kinds of knowledge. The danger is not just trying to keep up with famous people; it is trying to keep up, period. Use this guide to get out of debt, start investing, and build real savings.<figure id="figure-4nx8tkis12mglkyops" class=""><img id="4nx8tkis12mglkyops" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/17uzRgl5MnGYtn4t7QEs1i8z3dFJsv0hQBIBGQTnpEDF2KahROItE5OVl1Pnx5se.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/17uzRgl5MnGYtn4t7QEs1i8z3dFJsv0hQBIBGQTnpEDF2KahROItE5OVl1Pnx5se.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Crystallized knowledge This is wisdom you build over time. Reps, mentors, mistakes, books. Most stars have world-class crystallized knowledge in performance and competition. Few are trained in finance, contracts, tax, or risk. They put ten thousand hours into the craft, not into capital.Fluid knowledge This is problem-solving in real time. Many stars have it. They think fast, and they adapt under pressure. But money has rules and gatekeepers. Quick thinking fails when you cannot spot the setup. In a room full of people who swear they are on your side, speed without context is a trap.Tacit knowledge This is the stuff you learn by living through small losses. Most people get money lessons in slow motion. A bad lease here, a pushy vendor there, and a contract they'll read twice next time. Stars often skip that phase. They go from little to millions overnight, so they never build scar tissue. That makes them easy targets for smooth talk and fake urgency.<figure id="figure-p44aam5aamgll5yib" class=""><img id="p44aam5aamgll5yib" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0Wgw0Euzivr3vFoPkGbNiF67uyHVC2Eq8tSjYVhpvG75alHxdp4swzHQ4UCuG7Bj.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0Wgw0Euzivr3vFoPkGbNiF67uyHVC2Eq8tSjYVhpvG75alHxdp4swzHQ4UCuG7Bj.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Reflective knowledge This is self-awareness. You study your impulses, your money story, and your weak spots. Without reflection, success becomes a drug. The income feels endless, the circle grows, the burn rate climbs, and the foundation cracks in silence.What actually works This is not about intelligence. It is about filling knowledge gaps and building systems that protect you from yourself and from everyone who wants a piece.<figure id="figure-a19bdz8oc9mgllctvj"><img id="a19bdz8oc9mgllctvj" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15n8qI5cNg1wSrWBWjc1NLDXWc3Q9Rbq1sgxwTeJXsoJYDM1oDWgODtvyN5wdTwR.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/15n8qI5cNg1wSrWBWjc1NLDXWc3Q9Rbq1sgxwTeJXsoJYDM1oDWgODtvyN5wdTwR.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Read on purpose Money books, tax basics, contracts, and business history. Leaders are readers. If you would not sign a contract you did not read, do not sign a life you did not study.Get real mentorship Pick people who kept and grew wealth. They tell you the truth when it stings. They do not need your clout.Listen to qualified pros If you hire a fiduciary advisor, a CPA, and an attorney, let them do the job. Ask questions, learn, and make the final call with facts.Build systems, not vibes Use safeguards that work even on your worst day. A personal spending cap. Automatic savings. Diversification rules. Trusts and entities that separate you from the money. Dual signature on big wires. A written rule that no investment gets a yes without documents, due diligence, and a cooling period.Verify everything Trust is earned, not assumed. Read every contract. See bank statements. Confirm liens. Call references. If the pitch cannot survive sunlight, it cannot have your money.The real story Most broke stars did not fail at talent. They failed at system design. They had mastery without money reps, speed without rules, trust without verification, and income without reflection.Wealth that lasts is not luck. It is knowledge applied with discipline, month after month. It is the humility to learn, the courage to say no, and the wisdom to keep people around you who are paid to protect you, not to praise you.&nbsp; <figure id="figure-l138qpp3ybmglleeui"><img id="l138qpp3ybmglleeui" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2184790780/photo/engineer-operators-using-scada-system.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=WRsoCc8P0MHeTAh-hr6VTunnAooatONaWfJnI82TnVI=" alt="Engineer Operators Using Scada System" title="Engineer Operators Using Scada System" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2184790780/photo/engineer-operators-using-scada-system.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=WRsoCc8P0MHeTAh-hr6VTunnAooatONaWfJnI82TnVI=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure> Talent can make you rich.
