Kevin O'Leary, Shark Tank's millionaire investor and entrepreneur known as "Mr. Wonderful," will grace Tallahassee early this year as part of First Commerce's Power Forward Speaker Series. He will speak at Ruby Diamond Concert Hall on Wednesday, February 6, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.

According to First Commerce CEO Cecilia Homison, "Kevin O'Leary's story of perseverance and hard work speaks to the heart of what every business owner can accomplish when you dare to dream big."

O'Leary, from Montreal, Quebec, graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1977 with degrees in Environmental Studies and Anthropology. In 1980, he earned an MBA from the University of Western Ontario's Ivy Business School with a concentration in Entrepreneurship, according to Investopedia.

O'Leary became a household name after joining the cast of 'Shark Tank', a reality show centered around business and entrepreneurship, as an investor. There, he acquired the nickname "Mr. Wonderful." Since joining the show, O'Leary has invested in many of the businesses featured on the show, including Geek My Tree, Potato Parcel, and Wine and Design, according to his website.

"Today, O'Leary is the Chairman of O'Shares Investments," First Commerce's press release states. "He is also the founder and Chief Sommelier of O'Leary Fine Wines, an award-winning wine label, as well as a member of Boston's 107-year-old Hamilton Trust."

The press release continues, "In addition to Shark Tank, O'Leary is a regular contributor on ABC, CNBC, and CTV, and a bestselling author of two books: "'Cold Hard Truth [on] Men, Women and Money' and 'Cold Hard Truth on Family, Kids and Money.'"

O'Leary will undoubtedly bring a wealth of business expertise to the entrepreneurs of Tallahassee, as well as the students of Florida State University. Students will find his bold, humorous speaking style extremely entertaining as he discusses his knowledge of success in business, entrepreneurship, and personal finance and explains why you should pursue wealth.

"Money is the scorecard of success," says O'Leary, "but it's not money I care about, it's freedom. Money buys freedom, and that's why pursuing wealth and being an entrepreneur are the most noble endeavors on Earth."

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
