  • Massive Five Alarm Fire in WNY displaces over 40 families
  • Woman critically injured after being hit on Tonnelle Ave
  • Best Buy robbed for $20,000 worth of Apple products in broad daylight
  • Bear the dog swims across the Hudson from NYC to NJ after falling in the water off the West Side Highway.
  • Expect the parking rates in Hoboken to go up $1 per hour for nonsensical reasons. 

    • INTERVIEW

    #GIRLBOSS, business owner and entrepreneur, Lisa Troyano-Ascolese, joins me to talk about how she left her long time corporate job, took a chance on herself and never looked back. Now she runs the real estate company Engel & Völkers in Hoboken and Jersey City. We talk about why age doesn't matter when starting over, how to conquer self-doubts and why it's important to take it easy sometimes. Lisa also tells us some of her funniest stories on the job, including her listing at Mary J. Blige's house, where the paycheck might not have been worth it in a new segment called, "Paychecks for What Now?!".

    EVENTS
