Dr. Higgs will give you tips on how to get out of annoying smalltalk situations using a topic most people think they know a lot about, but really don't - the human body. You'll be surprised by how many small interesting facts about the body are out there that no one bothered to teach about in school, and because few people know, or rather few people paid attention in class, you can look like a cool kid when you drop some interesting facts about the human body as you slowly back away from tha ...

In my years as a real estate agent — I’ve seen one single unifying theme that seems to rear its ugly head in almost every single transaction — Fear. Fear of the market — “Is now the right time to buy?” Fear of making a mistake — “What if there’s something wrong with the house I want to buy?” And, yes, even fear of Realtors themselves, “What if I pick someone that won’t protect me?” It paralyzes people from taking any sort of action. Rather than POTENTIALLY making some sort of error, they pre ...
