IT'S HEART MONTH! The American Heart Association's Heart Month is designed to raise awareness about the risk factors associated with heart disease. Within that month, Women of Impact was born. Women often don't know the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke for themselves, even as they could list them symptoms for men! It's because we don't realize how many women are affected by heart attack and strokes in relation to men, though heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year---higher than all cancers combined. I've got our fitness guru Michelle Zellner on today with her friend and Woman of Impact Sandy Bowman on to talk about how you can get involved in this very important cause. Join Sandy's Team by clicking here. As part of Sandy's team, Michelle is leading a webinar on heart health as well as a new seven week program to help you stay on track with your fitness goals for the new year. You can find links to both of those here! If you want to learn hands only CPR, you can do so at an upcoming event called EVRE on March 11th and you can find those tickets here.

WHY AM IN ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO BUY A HOME RIGHT NOW? When we moved her nine years ago we were able to get a really good deal on our house because the market was good, but not sizzling. We've seen what has happened since, largely driven by our booming population and insanely low interest rates. Now our growth has slowed dramatically an interest rates have risen and many, many people are working under the illusion that mortgage rates are going to drop to 2% again. I don't think they will ever, but if they do, it will be a long haul. So those two things have flipped our sellers market into a buyers market for the first time in a LONG TIME but it won't last, and by the time you see news stories about the market recovery it will be too late. NOW is the time, and buying a home is a great way to build wealth for yourself and your heirs. This is a good article from Forbes about why buying builds wealth. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can buy a property for yourself or your landlord, either way someone is building equity in a tangible appreciating asset. Brian Murphy from Front Range Mortgage joins me today to talk about mortgage prices and why it's a good time to jump back into the market. Reach Brian by clicking here. Today I see this article that says in some neighborhoods the market has already shifted!

KOA Broncos Sideline Reporter Susie Wargin joined me to discuss what she thinks of the Broncos hiring Sean Payton and what it means for the future of the Broncos.

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF THESE COMMERCIALS? When I saw this the first time, I was genuinely shocked in a good way. Someone is trying to meet people where they are to talk about God. Today I'm talking with Jordan Carson, the Communications Director for He Gets Us which is the organization behind the ads. You can see a whole bunch of them here and they are really, really good, well produced and thought provoking. I want to know where this came from and frankly thank them for doing it. I think if more people turned to God instead of politics or global warming or drugs or alcohol we'd be a whole lot better off and if this works on anyone it is a success. This is one of the spots that will air during the Super Bowl:

AN UPDATE ON THE RIGHT TO REPAIR FARM EQUIPMENT I talked about this last week because the Colorado Legislature is considering passing a Right to Repair bill for farm equipment after farmers say they can't get service for their very expensive equipment because the "authorized dealers" simply can't keep up with the needed repairs. I've got the VP if the Illinois Farm Bureau Brian Duncan on at 1 with an update of a deal struck by John Deere and the Farm Bureau to do just that without government interference.

DID WE BREAK SOME WEATHER RECORDS IN JANUARY? Maybe not records but I did hear this is the first January in a long, long time that we didn't hit 60 for even one day in January. We'll see if that's right when Dave Fraser from Fox 31 joins me for Weather Wednesday. Here is an article about our weather this month.
