Coming Up

I have been slacking on my blogging this week because I'm gearing up for my trip to Phoenix, Arizona.  I leave Thursday, and will be live throughout the day on Fox Business.  What a great opportunity (yes, it's the Opportunity in America series) to talk with local politicians, residents, business owners, and real estate experts.  My show will be live from 12 to 1pm ET from our location, and ... read more
