It began a year ago and in that time, theyve learned that a lot of women leaving the military need a business boot camp to put them on the right track. Kaney oneill is an entrepreneur who wishes she had more guidance when she began her business. Discharged from the navy after a parlyzing fall, she finished college and opened a roofing contractor business with her family. It was pretty devestating to wake up and not be able to walk or the ability to write. it took us a year to get our first contract. I think we made every mistake in the book. But through seven years of perseverance, on a variety of levels, oneill found she has a talent for managing. Now oneill contractors, a certified servicedisabled veteranowned business brings in as much as three million a year and recently won a government contract that could result in five years of steady work. Her edgesetaside contracts and a spotless safety record. In my company, safety is big. Because of what happened to me, safety is very important and a roof is a dangerous place. weve never had an injury on the job whats working for us so far.

A trip to lego land as the animated movie gets big hype at the box office. One man finds his dream job playing with the plastic building blocks. No joke. Bill moller joins us with that story, after this break. Youre told your career should be your passion. But, gosh, often our passions playing video games, shooting baskets, building lego creations that cant easily be turned into a paying job . But, wait a minute, look at this. The product of a passionate lego builder and for david howard,that in fact is his job. He is paid to play with lego pieces. Whats the title on his business card, master model builder. How did this job find you or you find it . I actually read it in a newspaper. A family friend of mine sent me a newspaper article and she said youve always loved playing with legosheres the job for you. I read it and i thoughtthats not real job. I could never do that. So when a young kid asks you what is your job how do you explain it to them . Its simple. I play with legos all day. I develop different classes. I develop new models for our events at the Legoland Discovery Center chicago. These are all your creations. You love to do these heads. You were in a competition to get the joband that guy over theremr. Darth vaderthat was the one that won you the job. This is my entry piece. We had to create something to enter the competition and also submit a you tube video. I created darth vader without his helmet on. Thats what he looks like what did they like about that . I think they liked the size of it. A lot of times people make small things to enter these competitions. I made a pretty life sized bust of darth vader. What is the pleasure in making things with your hands . In this age of electronics, how do you describe the pleasure you get from doing this . My generation grew up on computers and video games and i never really found as much satisfaction out of playing on the computer as much as playing with something in my hands. Lego bricks have always been there and they have always been the perfect building block. I think were wired as human beings to use these digits to create things. Do you think youll ever grow out of this . I dont think so. Its one of those things that sticks with you for life. I love that youre living your passion. David howardthank you so much. Thank you. Bill thanks for the segue in to our next act. Coming up find if heavy handed marketing will build up audience at the box office when the lego movie debuts this weekend. Movies and money is next. And later in chart talk. Will twitters tumble last night matter today . Well be right back. Expectations are sky high the lego movie will be at the top of the heap with audiences this weekend. Joining us via skype due to the weather is erik childress. Nothing stops you from being on our show erik. Thank you very much for having me. The lego movie looks like it is the film to beat this weekend. Also coming out at the box office is the Monuments Men and vampire academy. Well start with the lego movie. What do you think about this film . I think is gonna be a very easy number one this weekend for families. We had the nut job from last month and has already spawned a sequel. I think the lego movie is really gonna register with families this weekend and probably for the entire month of february. I think youre gonna see this be the next 100 million grosser. You actually screened the Monuments Men. What did you think . Weve talked about this movie a few times on the show. We talked back in december when sony actually delayed the film from its december release date and they said it wasnt finished. Now that ive seen it i can kind of see why they delayed it because the film is not really very good. It seems like its gonna be an old school world war ii adventure film but its really kind of a dull history lesson. It doesnt really give fans of those movies much to get excited about. So it seems that sony was very clear that they werent gonna get any Oscar Nominations with this film so they pushed it back to february to give it a better chance but i dont think its gonna do very well. What about the vampire academy. This is a film from the weinstein company. Theyre not showing it for critics so we all know what that means. It was actually supposed to open on valentines day next week and just a couple weeks ago they moved it up a week. They figured all the competition next week they might as well get it out there and try to steal a few bucks before people realize its not very good. Last weekend at the box office, a 3 peat win for ride along which was joined by frozen, that awkward moment, the nut job, and lone survivorwhich has been a big hit for the month of januarybringing in lots of money. Yeah, its really looking good for 2014. Its technically a 2013 release so a lot of the money will end up on those record books. But for the accounting books for universal, it looks really good. Both that and ride along are going to gross 100 million. Its a really good start to the year for them especially after they ended last year with the debacle that was 47 ronin. I finally had the opportunity to see the wolf of wall street. You didnt warn me enough erik. It was as though scorcese said youve never seen wall street like this. He really went to the raunchy side and he never lets up on the gas. I felt like i needed more plot actually. I think you wanted more f bombs. There were only like 500 in there. I think you needed a few more of those and that would have put it over the top for you. I think its an entertaining film, i dont think its a great film. I think scorcese has done better in the past but if youre looking for a 3 hour comedy, you could do worse than wolf of wall street. I recommend it as a comedy not so much as a statement on wall street. The acting, however, was superb. Di caprioyou cant do much better than him. Hes terrific. He was awesome. Good to have you on the show. Have a good weekend. Thank you so much. Still aheadwill profits puff up at phillip morris. And what level suggests a buy signal to traders in twitter. Chart talk is next. As we reported earlier, twitter ran into some trouble after reporting earnings. Joining us now is Matt Cavanaugh of cmz trading. What do you think matt . Do you think this stock has any chance of finding some buyers . I do. I think what youre seeing is people really trying to figure out what the value of twitter is. Its really hard with some of these Companies Just to figure out exactly what it is. So youve seen a lot of volatility. The earnings maybe werent so great but this sector has been really strong and i do imagine that it will find some footing here at some point. What would you say would be a good level to own the stock . Thats tough because its so based on peoples whims. But i think if you can buy in the mid to low 50s i think that youre gonna get a chance at least for a trade to sell it back out. What about Philip Morris which reports earnings today . That stock could run into some problems as well. Its a stock thats really been unlovedthat whole sector. But they are down quite a bit off the highs. I dont think people are really expecting too much for earnings. They have a really nice dividend of about 5 . If they can give any kind of positive news, we could see a little bit of a pop. I think that the dividend is gonna help along with the insiders who are buying the stock as well. Will it matter as maybe were seeing a selloff in a social media stock compared to maybe an old guard stock . Maybe money just happens to flow to Philip Morris today. I think its definitely possible. As were seeing the increased volatility, some of these old stocks have traditionally been safe havens. So if you look at a stock like Philip Morris where its off 20 25 from its highs and theyll give you a nice dividend, maybe its a nice place to hide if we get a little bit volatile. Thanks for being on the show today. Thank you. Theres plenty more to cover tomorrow.
