Here are the highlights from the week 1 premiere:

Tyrone Ross, 401 Financial Principal and founder gave his financial expertise and spoke about wanting to end the stigma around financial literacy. He also explained how estate planning is not only for the wealthy, but rather a prudent financial tool available to all Americans.

Jade Warshaw, Ramsey Solutions Financial Coach sat down with Brad and gave her thoughts on the housing market, the best time to purchase a home, the hottest retail markets in the United States, and the crucial steps needed to make sure you get the most out of one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make: buying your first home.

Lawrence Sprung, author of 'Financial Planning Made Personal' spoke about misconceptions on retirement. He explains: "You don't have to wait until your 60's to retire. If you start early enough and make the best financial decisions possible, you can retire much earlier than the standard number we all know."
