"When to Jump: If the Job You Haven't Isn't the Life You Want" explores a fundamental question. When is it the right time to really take a leap, and go after what you really want to be doing. The book's author Mike Lewis explains how the lessons in this book can apply to your life in and out of the workplace. Lewis encourages people to chase their dreams but warns it will be difficult. Lewis says the scariest notion for people to go for their passion is the unknown, but this can also be the most rewarding. The four phases of when to jump include: listen to the little voice, make a plan, let yourself be lucky, and don't look back. The book features stories about people who started in one field and then completely shifts to a new one. From a finance professional turned professional cyclist to the person who wants to learn for a new language, Lewis hopes the stories will inspire others to make the changes they seek. Lewis says a big key is to never look back once you have jumped. You can't be second guessing once you have made the decision. The key is to do the planning and prep beforehand and then trust in your decision.

Is U.S. Restaurants’ Breakfast Boom Contributing to High Egg Prices?
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.
Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
