January is National Mentorship Month, a time to celebrate the people who open doors, expand horizons and help young people see possibilities where they once saw limitations. For me, mentorship is not theoretical; it’s deeply personal. Growing up in subsidized housing in North Las Vegas and later in the Historic Westside, I had potential, but I didn’t always have a clear path. I didn’t see people who looked like me in positions of success, and I didn’t have mentors who could help me navigate opportunities I didn’t yet know existed. Too often, I felt invisible.
In today’s fast-paced digital world, national housing headlines dominate our newsfeeds. Every week seems to bring a new story: “Home prices are plunging!” or “The market is cooling across the country!” But for homeowners, these broad strokes rarely reflect the reality of what’s happening right here in our neighborhoods.
This year has marked a critical juncture for the restaurant industry. To remain competitive, restaurants must balance innovation with resilience, investing in people, processes and digital tools that align with a rapidly evolving market landscape.

Navigating a Department of Labor wage and hour audit can be a daunting experience for any employer — but it doesn’t have to be. Whether triggered by a complaint or selected at random, these audits aim to ensure fair labor practices and compliance with federal wage laws. Employers who understand the process, prepare proactively, and cooperate effectively can not only minimize disruption but also demonstrate a commitment to lawful and ethical workplace standards.
The strongest structures are those built on solid foundations. The same is true for people. The construction industry has given my life a purpose as it has for many. That’s why Construction Cares, Inc. was born: to care for every person who keeps our industry moving and remind every worker they are never alone. Our mission is to provide resources, education and community for construction workers who too often feel they must “tough it out” in silence.
Through four recessions, multiple stock market crashes, and the unprecedented COVID-19 shutdowns, I’ve heard the same predictions: Tourism will dry up, visitors will flee and the city will fade. Each time, Las Vegas not only survived but thrived, emerging stronger and more innovative.
In the past, Artificial Intelligence was a concept used only by tech giants and in sci-fi movies. Now, it has become a real and powerful tool used by businesses of all sizes across all industries.
If you’re shopping for a home right now, you’ve likely noticed more listings with price reductions. It’s a noticeable shift, and one that leaves many buyers wondering: Does a price reduction signal a red flag, or could it be a hidden opportunity?
If you’re running a business in today’s world, you’re using cloud-based tools. Whether it’s email, file storage, accounting or customer relationship management, the cloud is everywhere. And while it’s made our lives easier, it’s also introduced a new layer of risk that too many business owners are still underestimating.
