Description The New York Times best-selling author of The Power of Broke and "Shark" on ABC's hit show Shark Tank explores how grit, persistence, and good old-fashioned hard work are the backbone of every successful business and individual, and inspires listeners to Rise and Grind their way the top.

As a young man, he founded a modest line of clothing on a $40 budget by hand-sewing hats between his shifts at Red Lobster. Today, his brand FUBU has over $6 billion in sales. Convenient though it m...

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Bad day in the bathroom. Getty Images It could happen to any of us. Our phones are so precious that if we dropped one down a public toilet, we'd climb in to get it back. Wouldn't we? What did you say? You'd call a Task Rabbit? This wasn't the choice of 20-year-old Cato Betsen Larsen. The Norwegian was in Drammen, southe Norway, when he participated in a drama.As Norway's VG News reports -- relying on the intrepid work of Drammens Tidende -- his friend's phone fell down a public toilet. Larsen, though, is svelte. He's ...

It's even bigger than it looks. Standing in front of it, my head tilted back -- it's huge. It's sci-fi come to life: an 18-meter/59-foot tall Mobile Suit from the anime series "Gundam." Built initially to celebrate the series' 30th aiversary, the enormous statue has traveled around a bit. It now stands guard in front of the DiverCity mall on the artificial island of Odaiba in Tokyo Bay. It doesn't walk around (sadly), nor can you climb up into it (bummer), but for fans of the anime, or anyone who just digs giant robots, it's pretty cool. Here's how it looks up close. Fundam with Tokyo's giant Gundam ...

Sorry, Maine. You sounded like a really nice place to visit, what with your beaches, B&Bs, lighthouses and lobsters. We could even overlook the fact that your native son, Stephen King, seems to be determined to convince everyone in the world you're full of killer clowns, possessed cars, rabid St. Beards and spooky fog that tus people inside-out. (Well, maybe that last one was "The Simpsons.") But there's no way to overlook the 10-foot-long (3-meter) snakeskin that police in Westbrook, Maine, photographed and waed their citizens about in a Facebook post.[embedded content] If you read the Facebook comments, you can see that some are convinced this is a hoax, that a shed snakeskin wa...

[embedded content] When making a grand romantic gesture, most of us opt for expensive chocolate or a candlelit dier for two. When couple Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus wanted to show off their affections for each other, they decided to climb one of the world's highest construction sites in Tianjin, China. At 1,957 feet (597 meters), Goldin Finance 117 -- also known as China 117 Tower -- will be one of the world's tallest buildings when completed. Hotel search site Travel Ticker posted a YouTube video on Monday of first-person footage shot by the couple as they scaled a crane on top of the skyscraper one death-defying step at a time. While...

You might think of drones as friendly things, like the DJI Phantom you fly yourself or those Amazon drones that could soon be delivering your groceries.Think again when it comes to military drones. An MQ-9 Reaper unmaed aerial vehicle with a 66-foot wingspan can loiter 50,000 feet above the Earth for a day at a time, poised to hit a target with a devastating 3,800 pounds of Hellfire missile payload. But as with all weapons, the awesome firepower of a drone needs to be aimed accurately. "It's less about technology than about strategy, about the way it's deployed," said Gavin Hood, director of drone drama "Eye in the Sky," out now on DVD and Blu-ray. "Drones are new but still a weapon of warfa...

Paper always seemed like the wimpiest player in Rock, Paper, Scissors. Sure, it's easy to imagine a heavy rock crushing a pair of scissors, and we all know that scissors can cut paper. But how does paper win simply by covering rock?Paper proves itself a lot tougher than it looks in a new video from carpenter John Heisz of the I Build It website and YouTube chael. In the simple two-minute video, Heisz uses one sheet of regular white printer paper to cut out a round saw-blade shape, and inserts it in his saw. It seems like the thin piece of paper can't possibly cut anything, but he builds up slowly, testing the blade on paper, then cardboard, then finally moving on to a small piece of wood, wh...

The cause? Our inability to multitask."While these [alerts] provide timely information, research shows they come at a high cost in terms of increased stress and decreased productivity," wrote the BYU team. "This is due to dual-task interference (DTI), a cognitive limitation in which even simple tasks caot be simu...

Enlarge Image Gary Hersho, Getty Images In the first published research on the phenomenon known as chemtrails, thought by conspiracy theorists to be evidence of a large-scale atmospheric chemical spraying program, a team of researchers has found that most scientists don't believe they exist. The trails of cloud left behind aircraft as they fly across the sky are caused by water vapour in the exhaust. As the hot exhaust hits the cold air, it condenses and crystallises into a cloud for a short time before dispersing. These condensation trails, or contrails, are thought by some to be the vehicles for chemicals, ...

Time to cash in on a cool way to keep your laptop from overheating. This video from Science Chael shows how to create a heat sink by stacking copper coins on the computer, a tip the host credits to a Japanese Twitter user. "Copper is more thermally conductive than material most laptops are made of, drawing away heat to cool the machine," the chael's video explains. But you can't just go grab a bunch of peies out of your kid's piggy bank. US peies were made of pure copper from 1793 to 1837, then varied over the years, according to the US Mint. Since 1982, US peies have been made of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-plated zinc, which is no good for this experiment. Look for th...
