WATCH THIS YOUTUBE.COM/USER/ GOPFINANCIALSERVICES The future of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been a hotly debated topic as of late, and last month's Committee on Financial Services Hearing titled "The 2016 Semi-Annual Reports of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection" only fanned the flames of speculation. As the title of the hearing implies, its focus was two semiannual reports released by the CFPB last year, and it featured testimony by CFPB Director Richard Cordray and questions from the committee. The questioning soon became heated among party lines, with Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) telling Cordray, "I believe the president is clearly justified in dismissing you, and I call upon the president . . . to do just that and to do it immediately." With shots fired, the video of the hearing is definitely worth the watch.

READ THIS "TOOLS OF TITANS: THE TACTICS, ROUTINES, AND HABITS OF BILLIONAIRES, ICONS, AND WORLD-CLASS PERFORMERS" By Tim Ferriss We've all heard that it takes a good work ethic to achieve success, but what exactly does that entail? Tim Ferriss gets to the heart of this question in "Tools of Titans," where he converts the interviews from his podcast, "The Tim Ferriss Show," with more than 200 notable figures on the "actionable details" that led to their success. Ferriss isn't new to the genre of motivational business books; he is also the author of "The 4-Hour Work Week," a New York Times bestseller. "This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and 'inside baseball' you won't find anywhere else," says Ferriss. "It also includes new tips from past guests and life lessons from new guests you haven't met."
