What we're not going to do....
I have to start this with an introduction, as it has been such a long time since I've written a freestyle piece much less the subject matter. As they say on social media, I have time today and it seemed like a great moment to get it all out. To catch you up with my current events, I've been maintaining my new YouTube channel since my last one was taken down (a long story for another day) and it's doing well with 925 subscribers. I still do the MSM podcast with my girl Ruby Doll, we're in our tenth season and doing live shows that are streamed on Roku TV. I recently rewrote one of my books and have been promoting the hell out of it because that side income is absolutely needed while I'm in between jobs. The phrase "in between jobs" is kind of the reason why I'm here today as the phrase did inspire me to write it out aka get it out of my system.

Barry Honig Cleared of Allegations in RIOT Inquiry
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a letter in February 2020, ending Barry Honig’s investigation into RIOT Blockchain. This marked the SEC’s Denver Regional Office officially closing the investigation.

How Much Does It Cost to Start a Rehab Center and Get Licensed
Introduction to the Cost of Starting a Rehab Center The addiction treatment industry has evolved into a highly structured healthcare sector requiring significant capital, regulatory compliance, and operational planning. Establishing a rehabilitation center involves more than leasing a building and hiring counselors. It requires adherence to healthcare regulations, clinical staffing standards, and licensing requirements designed to ensure patient safety and effective treatment outcomes. The financial commitment can vary dramatically depending on the scale of services offered, the type of facility, and the regulatory environment in which the center operates. Some small outpatient programs may begin with modest budgets, while comprehensive residential treatment facilities can require multimillion-dollar investments. Understanding these cost components is essential for entrepreneurs, healthcare investors, and nonprofit organizations seeking to enter the behavioral health field.
