A major uptick in cyber attacks, per the FBI

The number of cybercrimes reported to the FBI is spiking. The feds calculate people lost nearly $13 billion last year — up 20% in a year. And while corporate ransomware attacks, like the recent one on UnitedHealth, get attention, the vast majority of cyber crime is simpler.

Arlo Washington is the barber — and banker — of Little Rock

Washington's mission to bring economic justice to Arkansas is on display in the Oscar-nominated film "The Barber of Little Rock."
"If you can have a trade and a skill that's essential and needed, and you also have access to an opportunity, then you're able to create a sustainable, profitable and scalable business for yourself as an entrepreneur," Arlo Washington said.
