I decided in October that I would see all 7 Natural Wonders of the World in my lifetime. I hiked the Grand Canyon in the fall, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef 12 years ago, and *just* saw the Northern Lights. THE FREAKING NORTHERN LIGHTS!! 😯 what a dream. Four to go!

Thank you @GSaulsbery and @bankingdive for covering the @HelloNavra launch! I didn't have two full time jobs on my bingo card after the Figure IPO, but I'm now working across both and believe the Navra team is going to bring the real dollars into DeFi for the benefit of Figure and others. bankingdive.com/news/sofi-fi…

SoFi, Figure co-founder raises $19M for newest venture

“The problem that we've created in blockchain,” Navra co-founder Mike Cagney said, “is we've been building for this native crypto audience, but not for the real world.”

Today in U.S. Banking History 10 years ago on Sep 8, 2016, the CFPB fined Wells Fargo for “widespread illegal practice of secretly opening unauthorized accounts.” According to the CFPP enforcement action, “thousands of Wells Fargo employees illegally enrolled consumers in these products and services without their knowledge or consent in order to obtain financial compensation for meeting sales targets.” Additional settlements and consent orders with federal and state regulators would add close to $3 billion in cost for Wells Fargo by 2018. #OnThisDay Sources: consumerfinance.gov/archive/… wsj.com/articles/wells-fargo… web.archive.org/web/20220228…

Border Wall Construction Threatens 6,000 Years of History on Private Lands

Good first step. Construction needs to be paused along the 517mi Big Bend sector, outside of the park, too. There are places sacred to Indigenous communities and to the Catholic Church, as well as archeologically and ecologically significant/sensitive places along the ENTIRE Rio.

@CBPCommissionerAug 18
I just met with local stakeholders—including sheriffs, county judges, and representatives of federal and state elected officials—to discuss border security projects in Big Bend National Park. It was a productive conversation, and I committed to a pause so those conversations can continue. Tomorrow I will be down in the park to compare some of their suggestions to our previous plans.
