Picture this: you are lying in a hospital bed, gown tied awkwardly at the back, heartbeat monitor beeping like a metronome gone rogue. A doctor sweeps in, glances at your chart, rattles off a diagnosis, and disappears to the next room, leaving you with a swirl of confusion and worry. Then a nurse steps in….
The never-ending conversation about healthcare in the United States is a black hole of opinions and rhetoric that can suck the life out of any interaction. But while most people lean one way or another on how the healthcare system can be fixed, there are a few facts that are driving the narrative and shaping…
You decide to take the stairs instead of the elevator because today is the day you are a person who takes the stairs. Floor one to floor two feels like a good choice. By floor three, your calves light up like they just discovered fire. You reach your desk with a smile from just accomplishing…
By Demetra Paizanis – Ever stared down at your weekly $15 açai bowl, gently spooning granola onto blended fruit, and wondered, “Is this why I won’t ever afford a house?” Welcome to finance, the behind-the-scenes star of your daily decisions about money, risk, and opportunity. But first, let’s do the math on that trendy $15…
By Demetra Paizanis – Let’s start with the obvious: music is everywhere. In your car, in your headphones, in elevators (against your will), in movies, at weddings, funerals, sports games, grocery stores, social media, and even in your head at 2 a.m. when you can’t sleep and that one chorus just won’t leave you alone….

(We see you, Bridgerton.) But while the world is busy debating whether to book flights or nap in hammocks, there’s another summer strategy that deserves way more hype:…
By Demetra Paizanis Memorial Day is a uniquely American blend of solemn remembrance and sunny celebration. Most Americans associate it with grilling hot dogs, applying sunscreen for the first time in months, and binge-watching patriotic movie marathons (looking at you, “Saving Private Ryan” and “Band of Brothers”).
