Bienvenidos a Malawi! (Gettin’ filtered with it? The Fresh Prince of Fresh Water?) The current leader has raised less than $12,000. You can beat that, right?
Bruce Sellery is cleaning up Canada, one bumbling financial amateur after another. He’s a journalist, an author, a public speaker, and a consultant. His “thing” is figuring out what you really need and want in order to set up your financial life in the best way possible. (Sound familiar?)

Nathan has had a wild career, and it seems like his only regret is not learning Mandarin in high school. Impressive. He has some advice for you, so check it out:

What do you do when your fancy degree gets you a job answering the phone and filing papers for someone else?
Amanda Pouchot and Kathryn Minshew from prettyyoungprofessional.com have some helpful advice.
Alexandra Wilkis Wilson took her 5th Avenue fashion sense to the world wide web, and the result – members-only designer discount site Gilt Groupe – is changing the way luxury retail is done. She sat down with TILE to talk about the online sample sale phenomenon, and to share some advice about buying designer.
Seriously, we’ve never been so excited to watch someone talk about statistics.
