United States, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed wire fraud convictions that were based on theories resembling insider trading.1 In both cases, the government invoked the wire fraud statute, and not a securities fraud statute, because the products at issue (non-fungible tokens and spot foreign currency) were not securities.

Are Kids' Activities Stopping Parents From Finding Community?
For my forthcoming book about adult community-building, I’m devoting an entire chapter to a subject that might perplex some of you: kids' activities. Here’s the twist: I’m actually NOT promoting kids' activities as a way to find your people.

For many middle-class and above Americans, kids’ activities or sports have become a central organizing feature and principle of a family's life.

Does How You Spend Your Time Align with Your Values?
In my months of researching community building for my forthcoming book, there are a couple of elements that come up over and over as essential to finding meaningful connections.

8 Ways to Embrace “Deep Casual Hosting” (So You’ll Actually Do It)
Reader support makes my work possible. Thanks for subscribing and paying if you are able. A great way to get to know people and deepen relationships is to share a meal together in your home.

It’s a meaningful bid for connection.
