Shaquille O'Neal wants to make one thing clear: He doesn't believe in crypto, if he ever did. That's after being named in a class-action lawsuit against now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX last month, for promoting the company in a June commercial. "A lot of people think I'm involved, but I was just a paid spokesperson for a commercial," O'Neal says. Customers have been unable to withdraw funds from FTX since the company declared bankruptcy last month. Texas is now separately investigating some celebrity FTX endorsers for potentially violating state securities laws, according to Bloomberg.

Schmidt, who served as Google's CEO from 2001 to 2011, helped transform the then-young Silicon Valley start-up into today's $1.9 trillion global tech behemoth — and credits in-office work for much of that growth. Younger employees, particularly those between the ages of 25 and 35, can also use in-office settings to more effectively develop their management styles, Schmidt says. "If you miss out [on that] because you are sitting at home on the sofa while you're working, I don't know how you build great management. Still, Schmidt says, a largescale movement to permanently work remotely would deny at least 30 to 40 years of workplace experience.

But former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns — who became the first Black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company in 2009 — says she never bought into that narrative. "I would not be able to be CEO of the company unless I outsourced the caring for my kids," Burns, 63, tells CNBC Make It. Burns led Xerox from 2009 to 2016, when the company split into two corporate entities: Xerox and Conduent. In 2009, Burns was also appointed by President Barack Obama to help lead the White House National STEM program, which encourages students to pursue STEM-related careers.

☆ Can't decide on a big life change? People who change are 'overwhelmingly' more content than those who don't, study says
▼ + stars: | 2020-05-22 | by ( Jade Scipioni | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Making decisions, especially big life decisions like switching jobs or moving, can be stressful. Levitt's study asked 22,511 people to make a decision on a dilemma based on the outcome of a coin toss. Researchers then followed up to see whether participants followed through with the decision and how they felt about it. For the coin toss, "heads" meant make the change and "tails" meant do not. Levitt says the coin toss was equally influential between men and women, across all age groups and income levels.
