With interest rates at a 22-year high, Michael Pugh says Black business owners crunched for cash should look to community-based financial institutions for help.“Learn more about them; we have a very different scope [regarding loan arrangements],” Pugh, the CEO of New York-based Carver Federal Savings Bank, tells Forbes of community banks. “We have to make sure we extend our arms and get out there and tell people what they need to know to start achieving that generational wealth.”August is National Black Business Month, and ForbesBLK is highlighting the theme with special discussions about sustaining and expanding Black firms. Based in Harlem, Carver is one of the largest Black-run financial institutions in the U.S., celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2023. The bank is named after George Washington Carver and trades on the NASDAQ. Pugh was named CEO in 2012.Black businesses generated $206 billion in annual revenue and supported 3.56 million U.S. jobs in the last decade, according to the non-profit Brookings Institution. However, though Black people comprise 14.7% of the U.S. population, the community represents 12.4% of sole proprietorship and only 2.4% of employer businesses. Brookings said the stats show “disparities” that hold back Black entrepreneurs and “restrict economic opportunities for entire communities, which in turn impacts local prosperity.” Brookings also notes that access to sufficient capital remains a lingering issue for Black-owned businesses. That causes entrepreneurs to rely on personal funds and credit cards to finance operations.

Two battles. One defining moment for the future of AI.

In California, a high-profile courtroom clash has drawn to a close after Elon Musk accused Sam Altman of betraying OpenAI’s founding mission — a fight over whether AI should serve humanity or profit. The jury ultimately threw out Musk’s case, but not before offering a rare glimpse inside one of the world’s most powerful tech companies.

At the same time, the focus shifts thousands of miles to Beijing, where a far bigger contest is playing out — the global race to control the advanced chips that power artificial intelligence. It’s a battle shaping not just companies, but geopolitics itself.

So who really holds the power in AI — and where is it heading next? To the stars? This comes as SpaceX eyes a record-breaking IPO, which could propel Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire..

Join Presenter Christian Fraser, AI commentator and Partner at Avella Daryl Flack, Author Nina Xiang and Dr Stephanie Hare as AI Decoded unpacks a pivotal week in tech.

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. didn’t walk onto America’s Got Talent as a polished act, he walked on as a working guy from West Virginia, raised in a hard-life environment as the son of a coal miner, singing the kind of classic standards most people assume don’t win modern talent shows.

This compilation captures his full AGT journey, the moment America first hears that smooth, old-school crooner voice, the steady climb through each round, and the way his confidence grows as the stakes rise.

And the backstory is real. Around the time of the show, Landau has spoken about how his home was ransacked and how he showed up to audition with basically the clothes he had left, then went on to win AGT Season 6 anyway.

If you’re into timeless songs, Sinatra-style performance, and underdog stories that actually pay off, this is one of the most satisfying winner arcs in AGT history.

Welcome to Viral Voices – your ultimate destination for the most unforgettable singing auditions from the world’s biggest talent shows! We bring you the best vocal performances, emotional stories, and jaw-dropping moments from America's Got Talent (AGT), Britain's Got Talent (BGT), American Idol, and The X Factor.

Lyrics:
You stepped inside with a vibe I ain’t never seen
Yes you did Ooh
Girl if you talk like you walk come and talk to me
But look here
It would break my heart break my heart break my heart if I find out you can’t move
You better show me now show me now show me now
Cause when I take you to the floor ooh you gotta get down
You know what to do
Hey Mr DJ (oh oh oh)
Play a song for this pretty little lady (oh oh oh)
Cause if she dance as good as she look right now (oh oh oh)
I just might, I just might make her my baby
I just might make her my baby
I just might I just might
But first, may I just say that your face got me so intrigued (I’m so intrigued)
But what good is beauty if your booty can’t find the beat (I don’t wanna know girl, So please don’t do that to
me)
It would break my heart break my heart break my heart if I find out you can’t move
You better show me now show me now show me now.
Cause when I take you to the floor ooh you gotta get down
You know what to do
Hey Mr DJ (oh oh oh)
Play a song for this pretty little lady (oh oh oh)
Cause if she dance as
good as she look right now ( oh oh oh)
I just might I just might make her my baby
I just might make her my baby
This the part where you break it all the way down down down down
This the part where I turn you all the way around round round round
Put some spirit in it put your heart into
That’s all I need (And if I like what I see you’re coming home with me)
Hey Mr DJ (oh oh oh)
Play a song for this pretty little lady (oh oh oh)
Cause if she dance as good as she look right now (oh oh oh)
I just might, I just might make her my baby
I just might make her my baby
I just might I just might

Meet Michael Hoffman, a former athletic coach who transformed his life through the vending machine business. Starting with just $14,000 in savings and a sharp eye for opportunity, Michael built his vending company, Modern Amenities, into a nationwide operation generating $75,000 monthly in revenue.

Growing up on a farm, Michael learned early lessons about entrepreneurship from his father. After college, he became a traveling athletic coach, making just $1,200 per month. During his countless hours in airports, Michael noticed something: vending machines were everywhere, but they offered overpriced, unhealthy options. This observation sparked an idea that would forever change his life.

Despite having no prior experience with vending machines, Michael taught himself the industry from the ground up. Today, his company stands at the forefront of vending machine innovation, with smart machines that use AI to track inventory, prevent theft, and even recognize customer preferences. His machines can be found in prime locations across the country, serving quality products that break the mold of traditional vending machine offerings.

In this episode, Michael shares his journey to becoming a successful vending machine business owner. Learn how he identified untapped market opportunities, negotiated prime locations, and leveraged AI technology to build a thriving automated retail empire – all while starting from zero industry experience.
