*By Chloe Aiello* Michael Liebman caught the financial bug young. At the age of 13, he started trading stocks. At 15, he got a job as a bank teller, and started saving for retirement at 16. Now in his early 20s, Michael has teamed up with his sister Rebecca Liebman to co-found LearnLux, an enterprise company that aims to help workers achieve the kind of financial wellness he has been chasing throughout his young life. "Growing up, I always had a passion for personal finance and tried to teach myself as much as possible about building wealth," Michael Liebman told Cheddar Wednesday. "And I found that it was really hard to just teach yourself from Google." LearnLux consists of online, interactive learning tools that attempt to educate a company's employees about important financial decisions concerning retirement, benefits, insurance, health care, stock options, and more. "You get your paycheck from your employer, you have one of your primary investment accounts from your employer, you're getting your health insurance primarily through your employer," Michael Liebman said. "So they're giving you all the things that make up how you make money and how you invest your money, but they don't really teach you how to use those effectively." Even as a teen worker at the bank, Liebman said he remembers fielding personal finance questions from coworkers and customers of all ages. That tipped him off that there might be a space in the market for personal finance teaching tools. He's not the only one who sees the opportunity. Rebecca Liebman won big backing from Salesforce ($CRM) CEO Marc Benioff and Ashton Kutcher's firm Sound Ventures at a South by Southwest pitch event, and they later led a $2 million seed round. "They've been amazing investors to have. First \[from\] Benioff, just seeing how you scale a company from nothing to billions and billions of dollars," Rebecca Liebman said. "And Ashton Kutcher has just been really great taking his career and understanding what he's good at ... and using his audience to show people what's going on in tech." The siblings are using the funding to build out a team that can scale their product to something that can be used in enterprises as small as 20 employees or as large as 20,000 employees. And ultimately, they hope to address workers' financial stresses head-on, so they're no longer forced to open up Google and wonder where even to start.

State Department Halts Plan to buy $400M of Armored Tesla Vehicles
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
Goodyear Blimp at 100: ‘Floating Piece of Americana’ Still Thriving
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
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.
