<description>8/16/08 -  Interview with Stan Barron - The House Whisperer - www.stanbarron.com  Stan Barron has owned his own real estate business in Austin since 1982. He began his career in 1975 with U.S. Home and then accepted a position as the marketing director at Stratford Press in 1980 where he helped produce a string of bestsellers such as Looking Out For Number One and Crisis Investing. Barron attended the University of Texas at El Paso. His greatest thrill thus far was receiving an endorsement from David Ogilvy himself for producing one of the best print ads during the last decade.   Stan Barron listens to houses to find out what will make them sell. Because of his uncanny ability to listen to a home and by borrowing an advertising method created by marketing legend David Ogilvy, the House Whisperer has succeeded in selling some of Austins most expensive homes (which have been on the market for 6-12 months) in less than a month.   Instead of just touching upon the cold facts, such as square footage and number of rooms, Barron spends time delving into the story behind the home. He gives each house his full attention as he researches the previous owners, the builder and the homes true personality.  Learn from the best and sell your home even in a &quot;down&quot; market today!</description>

<description>7/19/08 -     Sam goes off on the economy!  Yes, there are problems but the mainstream press either has one extreme or the other. The financial system is failing or, it's doing great. Would they make up their mind? Neither extreme is accurate.  The truth, in reality, is somewhere in the middle depending on how you have handled your own personal finances. The same facts are true on a larger scale like a bank.   Several tips to help people keep jobs. Lenders need to start looking at capacity, credit and colateral when making loans.

<description>7/12/08 -   Interview with Mark Hanson, better known as Mr. Mortgage. www.ml-implode.com  Sam and Mark discuss the failure of Indymac Bank ... the second largest bank to fail in the US. Will Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac be next to fail? Will the Feds take them over?  We believe there are many solutions in the private sector that should be looked at for answers. Mr. Mortgage has a fantastic blog on line and a series of training youtube.com videos that are helping consumers learn about what can help them buy homes at great deals. It's a great time to buy a home if you know what to look for.  Mr. Mortgage videos also help with loan modification for those who are in trouble. You can watch the videos at www.ml-implode.com and you can get help with loan modification if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.  You can go to www.getgreencredit.com for help with your mortgage. We recommend getting assistance. Get Green Credit is the best and has been audited 8 times and has passed with flying colors.  Now is a great time to buy if you are careful. Nothing, and we mean nothing takes the place of education. A must listen to interview full of solutions.</description>

<description>7/5/08 -   Interview: Joe Sturniolo His new book: The Caterpillar That Roared  What are the ROAR workshops? People dedicate about 40 years to their careers, juggling deadlines, bosses, all the while nurturing that nest egg of funds for fun-filled retirement years.   Although some are financially secure, Boomers need to &quot;develop the plan behind the plan&quot; says Joe Sturniolo, entrepreneur and owner of a successful Denver-based financial planning firm. Sturniolo suggests rather than focusing solely on saving money, more attention should be devoted to the next step; what can you accomplish after you retire?   We need to work towards quality of life through serving others. People who spend their time in service actually live longer and have more fulfilled lives.  Learn to understand what your passions and talents are and use them for good throughout your life.  www.timetorar.com</description>
