A: They certainly aren't all the same. I wouldn't trust a free one. For my money, ExpressVPN is the best option out there. It's super easy to set up and use, and it won't slow you down. And they don't log your activity like a lot of the other options out there.

Get three months extra for free if you use my link, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you have any issues.

A: I've heard from a lot of people in the same boat. Gmail is convenient, but now your privacy is your main concern. Check out my sponsor, StartMail. They never read your emails, your data is yours and yours alone, and anything you delete really is gone for good.

If you're ready to say goodbye to Big Tech, go to StartMail.com/Kim to try it out yourself free for 7 days and get 50% off your first year.

Smart home devices are fundamentally changing the way we live. That Jetsons lifestyle we've all been dreaming about is finally coming true. Prices of smart home gadgets you need are finally affordable. In my eBook, "How to Make Your Home a Smart Home on a Budget," you'll learn how to start your own smart home — from choosing a smart assistant to smart bulbs, thermostats, entertainment and much, much more. And the best part is you won't be breaking the bank.

I like to post quotes to motivate you, shots from behind the scenes of my national radio show and, of course, my dog, Abby.

I don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder.

That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever.

Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy.

Because he Neverlands.
