Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:32:24 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Screenwriters waited Monday to learn what their five-month strike won and prepared for a possible return to work after their union reached an agreement with studio executives that could help end the walkouts that brought Hollywood to a standstill.The historic shutdown will go on for now, with actors remaining on strike and no talks planned, though the tentative deal announced Sunday night may provide momentum that could lead to a resolution for them too. That would allow full production to resume for the first time since May.The governing boards of the two branches of the Writers Guild of America are likely to vote on the contract Tuesday.

Brandon E. Beal’s journey into financial services was unexpected. A foot injury ended his dream of becoming a professional footballer. But sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. Soon after his football setback, he discovered his real passion: financial planning.Being close to the sports world (his brother was an NBA star, and he had many friends in the NFL), Brandon saw how athletes earned huge amounts. But he also noticed something worrying: many lost much of their earnings due to the unpredictable stock market. This observation got him thinking.

In a quaint office, a vintage-styled white desk boasts a collection of pens, notebooks, and paperwork.
