Anthony, author of SHORT SALE RUSH: A HOW-TO GUIDE FOR NONPERFORMING ASSETS reveals how the housing economy was artificially spiked and the mainstream capital markets were suckered by originating risky loans aimed at minorities (including illegal aliens with undocumented incomes), creating artificial demand with loose credit requirements, and approving "liar loans." Now Anthony, who started a nonprofit loan default hotline, is leading a consumer revolution, encouraging qualified buyers to take possession of abandoned homes legally with innovating "substitute mortgages, following the provisions of President Obama's Helping Families Save Their Home Act. Banks have realized a monopoly on both supply and demand, placing Americans in harm's way, and that's not fair," says Anthony. "As a result, millions of innocent bystanders with conservative spending habits have seen their assets, including retirement funds, turn toxic." Tune in and learn: When will property values hit bottom or go back up? How are profits made from the toxic asset market? How will the looming Social Security crisis affect housing's future? How can the housing and financial markets be fixed? Why counter-intuitive federal regularions are making things worse?

This gentleman's philosophy resonates deeply with my own as he too is an advocate for taking responsibility for our thoughts, words, and actions. He'll also cover some great topics which will include: WHAT REALLY TRIGGERS SUCH BEHAVIORS LIKE TARDINESS, CALLING IN SICK WHEN YOU'RE WELL, RULE-BREAKING AND BLAMING OTHERS. He will also share his 12 common sense principles of responsible behavior and details about HCS, his formula for reducing employee irresponsibility at work. Another thing that I am looking forward to is Dr. Williams spent 7 years as an hourly employee of a major airline to learn how real people work. It was these experiences that formed the basis for his new book. Join us as we SEARCH FOR HIGHER GROUND and witness the wisdom, knowledge, and passion of this special man. 01:01:00DrX Ray FaulkenberrynoBehavior,Self Help,Responsibility,Ethics,BusinessMy guest will be Dr. Joseph Williams, author of the book WHO DO YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR?

I am amazed when I hear about the conflict over republicans, democrats, Obama, Bush... There doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground in politics these days as the slinging of mud is so common that it truly nauseates me that candidates who are spending millions of dollars spend so much of their time insulting their opponents.
