Its Our 50th Episode!

Katie Laird and Esther Steinfeld present a bedazzled 50th show. In the news this week: the business of the Fourth of July- who is making the big bucks? Katie dishes about Home Owners Associations, and guess what the lawyers have to say about them? We know that you love PEEPS; it could get you evicted. We also have a new CEOs Say the Darndest things. (“She looks nice, but she’s ruthless!”)

Take Control of Your World

Most of us have several ways that we communicate and receive messages: cell phone, Facebook, Skype. What if you could coordinate all these different lines into ONE way to find you (and you could monitor ONE place to get your messages)? Joe Schurman, an award-winning Microsoft guru, is creating the next level of human connectedness, and he’s written books! The BusinessMakers’ Russ Capper visits with a man who has a vision of the future and the technical knowledge to get us there. (“We don’t check voice mail anymore. Please call our mobiles!”)

If I Only Knew Then...

Katie and Esther talk to their younger selves. We asked our listeners and interviewees, “What would you say to yourself when you were 20 years old?” Would you offer social advice? Financial or career wisdom? We have wonderful words from the heart for those just starting out. (“I know you need a paycheck, but take a chance outside your comfort zone.”)
