Is a full email inbox driving you crazy?  Dustin shares a few tips and trick on how to clear it out and get your piece of mind back again.  

Can you be successful without a college degree?  Brianne tells us a little bit about how she made it work and shares some unique things about appraising in a very rural market.  

Human beings (including appraisers) are constantly living between two extremes.  Our shortcomings often come when we try to 'close the gap' prematurely.  Sometimes, life between the extremes is where the growth takes place.  

Another in our Appraiser Stories series.  Dave Morris is an appraiser and surfer-dude from San Diego.  Listen as he tells about the time he was inspecting a house and the cops showed up.  

I was recently asked by a fellow-appraiser if I actually did the things I suggest to others.  It is a great question.  The HONEST answer is in this episode.  

Sometimes we put the cart before the horse when it comes to hiring.  Are you hiring to further your business model or to accomodate a certain individual.  Dustin gives an analogy to show when we should hire and when we should hold off.  

Do you inspect the outside first or the inside?  There are pros and cons to both.  

Just in time for Halloween, Jason tells of the spookiest appraisal inspection I think I have ever heard of.  Buckle in.  Turn down the lights, and enjoy Jason's Romantic Halloween Adventure!

Your job as an appraiser and/or a business owner is not to make other's problems go away.  However, a little empathy and validation can go a long way to make things better when we are faced with challenges.
