"Shark Tank" host Kevin O'Leary revealed the secret recipe to success that his mother taught him while growing up. Like another one of the trademark O'Leary qualities of being blunt, this secret recipe is quite simple and easy to understand, too.
In an episode of the Dan Schawbel <a href="https://danschawbel.com/episode-148-kevin-oleary/">podcast</a>, O'Leary revealed that his investment philosophies and many other things he has done in his life have been things he learned and picked up from his mother.
O'Leary's net worth is estimated to be $400 million and he is a believer in an age-old mantra of making wealth – the power of compounding. The first place to start following that path, according to O'Leary, is to start saving.

Speaking to Schawbel, O'Leary said his mother's financial advice is simple but has stuck with him.
"She told me to always save 10% of everything you bring in, whether it's a gift from your grandmother or whether you make it at the ice cream store or cutting lawn," he told Schawbel, adding that the primary idea is to save whatever you can. "Everybody can do it."
"There's just so much stuff you buy that you don't need. If you put that money in the market… you'll end up quite wealthy when you retire."
"It's the secret to success."

Like most wealthy people, O'Leary is also a believer in the power of compounding. During a "Good Morning America" <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/video/kevin-oleary-answers-viewers-questions-investing-103591120">episode</a>, O'Leary explained how to save up for your retirement.
Assuming an average salary of $60,000 a year and savings of 15%, O'Leary estimated that at the end of a career, a person would have $1.5 million in the bank, thanks to compounding returns. But there's a catch.
"You must invest 15% — minimum."
Having $1.5 million in the bank could be enough to retire comfortably, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38466698/are-you-saving-enough-to-be-in-the-top-3-of-retirees-heres-how-much-you-need">according to a Benzinga analysis</a>.

Former President Donald Trump was fined for violating a gag order in his criminal trial Monday by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38646992/trump-fined-1-000-for-gag-order-violation-threatened-with-jail-time-again-by-judge-i-will-if-nec"> Judge Juan Merchan.</a>
While speaking to reporters after the trial ended Monday, Trump appeared unphased by the recent ruling.
What Happened: Over the last week, Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38523639/judge-threatens-trump-with-incarceration-fines-him-for-violating-gag-order-jail-may-be-a-necessa"> has been fined $10,000</a> for 10 violations of the gag order imposed before the trial began.
Merchan suggested Monday that the fines weren't working and once again threatened potential jail time for the former president.
Trump's comments Monday suggest he could violate the gag order again.
"Frankly, our Constitution is far more important than jail. It's not even close. I'll do that sacrifice any day," Trump said, as <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-hush-money-trial-day-12-live-updates-rcna150792">shared </a>by NBC News.
Trump told reporters the case should be over.
"I thought they were finished today. They all want to keep me off the campaign trail."
Based on Trump's comments suggesting he won't be silenced, the trial and Trump's social media activity could be more closely monitored going forward to see if Trump will face jail time.
"His continued willful violations of this Court's orders threaten the administration of justice and constitute a direct attack on the rule of law. I cannot allow this to continue," Merchan said of Trump on Monday morning.
Merchan told the court he does not want to impose jail time on Trump.
"The last thing I want to do is to put you in jail. You are the former president of the United States, and possibly the next president as well. There are many reasons why incarceration is truly a last resort for you."
Merchan did not specify which jail Trump would be sent to. A spokesperson for Rikers Island jail said they would welcome Trump if he was sent there.
"The department would find appropriate housing," spokesperson Frank Dwyer said.

Why It's Important: The criminal trial sees<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38326553/trump-hush-money-trial-has-12-jurors-here-are-the-7-men-5-women-to-decide-former-presidents-fate"> Trump facing charges</a> that he falsified business records to conceal money paid to silence adult actress Stormy Daniels.
The trial began with jury selection on April 15 and is expected to last six to eight weeks.
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass estimated Monday that the District Attorney's office has two weeks left for its side of the trial. This could include having Daniels and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen testify as key witnesses.
Based on the timeline, prosecution would conclude on May 21. With court not in session on May 22 or May 24, it is now likely that the trial stretches past the Memorial Day weekend.
Witnesses in court Monday included former Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney and former Trump Organization accounts payable supervisor Deborah Tarasoff, who remains a Trump Organization employee.
On Monday, the jury was shown check stubs and checks paid to Cohen.
Tarasoff also testified that Trump would write "VOID" on checks and send them back if he didn't approve the expenses. Invoices over $10,000 had to be approved by Trump, Donald Trump Jr. or Eric Trump, Tarasoff said Monday.
Each payment shown in court Monday was over the $10,000 level, which could come into play later in the trial.

Trump Unphased By Gag Order, Fines: 'Our Constitution Is Far More Important Than Jail'

Caregivers are at the forefront of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">medical cannabis industry</a>, tailoring treatments and providing personalized care for patients.
Despite their<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/12/30008720/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-medical-marijuana-caregiver"> vital contributions</a>, their&nbsp;recognition and compensation often fall short. How can caregivers be fairly rewarded for their work, and what challenges do they face?
According to Lou Pino, a veteran event organizer and caregiver on the East Coast and founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/genetraders/">Gene Traders</a>, an event dedicated to exchanging cannabis strains, the caregiver economy is an essential component of the industry that needs more support and understanding.
&ldquo;Being a caregiver comes with its share of challenges. Often, caregivers must bear the financial burden of their work, paying for everything out of their own pockets. This includes purchasing supplies, services, and equipment. It&#39;s a demanding role that requires a significant investment, both financially and emotionally,&rdquo; Pino explained.
Caregiving is far from free work. It&rsquo;s an endeavor that costs caregivers their own money to ensure patients receive the personalized care they need. In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, Pino shared his insights on how caregivers can navigate these challenges while also fostering innovation and diversity in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis cultivation</a>.
<h3>Gene Traders: Exchanging Medicine</h3>
&quot;In 2013, I was organizing medical events in Rhode Island to help educate people about what cannabis works best for various conditions,&quot; Pino said.
Recognizing the lack of resources for cultivators, he created Gene Traders as an event for exchanging knowledge and resources. &quot;The most valuable thing about Gene Traders is, yes, the access to genetics, but it&#39;s the conversation, months with just a few sentences,&quot; he said.
Gene Traders provides access to genetics and fosters collaboration among cultivators. These<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@genetradersofficial"> intimate cannabis events</a>, typically gathering around 300 to 500 people in a single day, are lively hubs where cultivators and breeders showcase their plants, set up informative booths&nbsp;and share insights on growing, crossing&nbsp;and breeding.
It&#39;s a vibrant scene, filled with experts eager to exchange knowledge and celebrate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-branding">craft of cannabis </a>cultivation.&nbsp;&quot;The conversations and collaborations are more important than just buying genetics,&quot; he said. The event&#39;s exchange of knowledge is invaluable, helping growers save time and improve their practices.
One reason why events like Gene Traders are important is that they facilitate the growth of whole plants for medical patients.
The entourage effect refers to the synergistic interaction between the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31197289/what-are-cannabinoids-their-types-and-effects">various compounds in cannabis</a>, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, which together create a therapeutic effect greater than the sum of their parts.
This effect is vital for the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various bodily functions, including pain, mood, and appetite. &ldquo;Tailored treatments using whole-plant cannabis are often more effective for medical patients, as they can address <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/12/36394288/cannabis-2024-experts-weigh-in-what-to-expect-from-dc-and-business-outlook-exciting-point-in-tim">specific needs </a>and conditions more precisely than isolated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/10/17942676/most-abundant-cannabinoids">compounds</a>,&rdquo; Pino continued.
By fostering an environment where cultivators can share knowledge and collaborate, Gene Traders helps to ensure that patients have access to the best possible treatments.
<h3>The Caregiver Gene Pool: Fostering Innovation</h3>
Caregivers play a critical role in expanding the gene pool through sharing and collaboration at events like Gene Traders.&nbsp;&quot;Without the caregiver or the home market, it would be very difficult for us to get new names because it&#39;s too expensive to hunt through genetics in a commercial facility.&quot;
The innovative environment fostered by caregivers leads to distinctive cannabis profiles that enrich the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis"> market</a>.
Oino explained that developing different genetic profiles to treat different conditions &quot;is highly dependent on the resources home cultivators have.&quot;
Depending on these resources, caregivers, and growers can contribute to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36268367/u-s-cannabis-market-premium-products"> development of premium, unique cannabis</a> profiles that stand out in the market.
By nurturing a diverse gene pool, caregivers who grow their own
contribute to a rich tapestry of cannabis varieties, ensuring the industry continues to evolve and cater to diverse consumer needs.
<h3>Access To The Market For Caregivers</h3>
According to Pino, states like Maine, Rhode Island, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/massachusetts-cannabis">Massachusetts</a> have favorable caregiver laws, while states like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/connecticut-cannabis">Connecticut</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-york-cannabis">New York</a> are more restrictive.
&quot;For example, Michigan allows caregivers to grow up to 72 plants,&quot; Pino pointed out. However, in Connecticut&nbsp;the limit is just &quot;three in veg and three in flower,&quot; which restricts caregivers&#39; ability to experiment and develop new strains.
Pino highlighted the importance of compensating caregivers fairly.
He mentioned that some states allow caregivers to sell their surplus to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-branding">dispensaries</a>, which helps medical markets flourish. He said, &quot;If caregivers can pass testing, they should be able to sell to the medical market.&quot;
Pino also noted how government involvement and red tape can hinder cultivators from getting their products to market​.
Pino suggested a straightforward approach.&nbsp;&quot;Once you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/09/34122583/oregon-court-halts-zero-tolerance-aspergillus-mold-testing-cannabis-cultivators-find-respite">pass testing</a>, you should be able to pull out your income, pay taxes, and keep moving forward.&nbsp;This practical solution supports caregivers and contributes to a vibrant cannabis industry.&quot;

The Cannabis Caregiver Economy: Why These Workers Deserve Market Access And How States Can Help

A close race between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is anticipated by many for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
While most election polls predict a close race between the two candidates, a recent poll shows a sizable lead for one candidate.
What Happened: A new poll from Rasmussen Reports showed one 2024 presidential candidate with a 10-point lead, an outlier from other election polls and current <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/04/38417836/trump-and-biden-get-ready-2024-election-betting-odds-point-to-major-showdown">betting odds for the election.</a>
The new Rasmussen <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/election_2024_trump_now_10_over_biden">poll </a>had Donald Trump at 46% and Joe Biden at 36%. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. came in at 9% in the latest poll. The remaining people polled chose another candidate or said they were undecided.
When the poll was expanded to more candidates, the Rasmussen results were as follows:
Donald Trump: 48%
Joe Biden: 36%
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: 8%
Cornel West: 1%
Jill Stein: 1%
The latest Rasmussen poll marked an improvement for Trump who was at 44% in April and a drop for Biden who was at 38%.

Why It's Important: The Republican-leaning Rasmussen was called into question when the latest poll results were shared. Many were quick to point out that a double-digit lead at this point in the election cycle is an extreme outlier.
One publication <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-vs-biden-polls-dont-be-fooled-by-outliers.html">noted</a> the last time a president won the national popular vote by more than 10 points it was Ronald Reagan 30 years ago when he won 49 of the 50 states.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/08/rasmussen-538-polling/">shared </a>earlier this year that Rasmussen Reports was dropped from poll aggregation platform FiveThirtyEight, which is owned by ABC News.
Rasmussen has spoken out in support of its polling and said that it was unfairly removed from the polling aggregate site.
"Dear ABC, the presidential race ISN'T tight. We have Trump up 12, not 2. Oh, and ABC kicked us out of the 538 aggregate because we wouldn't disclose proprietary info," Rasmussen <a href="https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1787485122922414260">tweeted</a>.
A tweet that shared political polling data saw many comments laughing at the Rasmussen report and some calling for Community Notes, the X tool that shares reasons why posts are inaccurate.
Biden won the popular vote 51.3% to Trump's 46.9% in the 2020 presidential election. Trump won the electoral college vote and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote at 48.2% to Trump's 46.1% in the 2016 election.
It is five months before voters head to the polls to select the next president. Until then, election polls will serve as a guide to how likely each candidate is to win.
