Need a kick in the pants when it comes to your career? Time to look inward and make some improvements? Check. We’ve got you covered. Thinking about selling….anything, but maybe even real estate? Check. We’ve also got YOU covered. Need a healthy spoonful of laughs (and a surprise or two) in our headlines? We’ve got that covered too. Coming down to the basement to share the sometimes painful but always poignant story about how he went from zero to million dollar listings… we welcome Million Dollar Listing reality television star and author of Sell It Like Serhant, Ryan Serhant.  It took Ryan years to discover what his competitive advantage was… and he’s going to share it with you today.

But that’s not all. In our headlines segment, we’ll discuss a new checking account with features that look and smell a lot like those offered by credit card companies. Is this the future? Should you switch banks? We’ll discuss. Plus, we’ll share a story about a bride who might have asked her guests for a touch more than they were prepared to give. Of course, we’ll also throw out the Haven Life line, answer a letter from the mailbag, and to celebrate tonight’s award show, share some of Doug’s Emmy-related trivia.
