Get Away With Murder, Gilbert reveals the unvarnished truth of what happened, including how he helped deceive the jury and feels deeply...

In this edition of Greta Talk,...

Each year the Superbowl is the most-watched television event by a long shot. Over 114 million people watched Superbowl 49 last year and over 112 million tuned in the year before that. The record-breaking viewership is definitely a factor companies take into account when deciding to advertise during the Superbowl, considering one 30-second commercial costs over $4 million. Keeping all of these numbers in mind, imagine how life-changing it would be for a small business of, let’s say, 11 people,...

Forbes was also twice a candidate for the nomination of the Republican Party for president, once in 1996 and again in 2000, so he was more than qualified to weigh in...
