The Debbie Nigro Show

On August 17th, new rules rolled out that overhaul the way Realtors get paid to help people buy and sell their homes.   The changes are part of a $418 million settlement announced in March by the National Association of Realtors.   The changes end the ‘informal’ rules of a typical agent commission payout.   Now real estate agents across the country must sign upfront with prospective homebuyers what they’re willing to pay.   Historically the ‘sellers’ paid commission fees for both their own agent and the home ‘buyer’s’ agent. The typical commission has been 5...

Everybody Knows My Show Theme is "Risk It or Regret It!" Whatever IT is for YOU! So, I thought it would be fun to share how I risked getting my first paying radio job after college.   It’s a memorable story of driving in a thunderstorm at 11 o’clock at night after working all day at another job, to a radio station in an old house in Briarcliff Manor, NY where Howard Stern had worked, to audition for an immediate opening for a news reporter.   I invited the guy who called me the next morning to tell me I got the job as the news reporter for WRNW Radio, to come join me in...

The Debbie Nigro Show

I was curious where OpenlyGray.com was going when I saw a social media post about it from a business gal pal.  Was it a site for older people with Gray Hair?  Nope! I ‘got it’ and smiled. It’s way cooler than that! It’s a movement. It’s an attitude adjustment about aging! Lord knows we need one. Thanks to the longevity revolution we are in a unique time and place in history. Until now many in their 50's 60's, 70’s, and beyond believed it was time to stop. That isn’t the thinking of older adults today at all! I Invited Lee St. James and gal pal Brooke Stachyra...

I’ve always admired hydrangea flowers but this year I was obsessed! I was slamming on my brakes and jumping out of my car just to take pictures of ‘other people’s hydrangeas’! It’s not like I'd never seen hydrangeas before. It’s just that this year for some reason they just seemed more beautiful than I ever remember.  I wanted to share in the hydrangea joy, so I went and bought a pretty blue hydrangea plant at Home Depot.  I think it died in the car on the way home. I planted other pretty flowers that actually lived, but sadly not that one. I was bummed. ...

Rio’s Road Sign called us and Russell the owner captivated us. 

A stand out random run-in on our return road trip from Prince Edward island Canada traveling through Maine .

Rio’s is a wow and deliciously different if youre ever in the area on your own road trip through Maine. Best chicken dinner ever and the cavatelli with kale etc. had me licking my plate.

Our unplanned random road trip stop at RIO's included live music, incredible ambiance inside and meeting a dynamic guy named Russell Manton.

He’s the 'R' in RIO. The "I" is for his beaituful daughter Illinca and the 'O' for his brilliant wife from Romania ( 2 masters!) Oana. We met all 3.

Russell does some awesome things besides own and run RIO with his wife, that fabulous restaurant located at 357 W. Main Street in Searsport, Maine. He owns one of only six companies in the U.S. that makes the electronic room key door locks for hotels! 

For the record those hotel room key cards do not contain your personal information as many of us including me always thought they did.   

You're gonna love meeting Russell Manton who checks in live from Nantucket where he's installing more of his electronic hotel room locks, in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show. His Scotish accent is just fabulous. So's his personality.

As new strangers go - He’s a keeper!
