This week on The Real Word, Byron Lazine and Nicole White have two interesting news articles on Barbara Corcoran, one of the original sharks of ABC’s Shark Tank. The first article, by CNBC, focuses on Corcoran’s real estate advice for twenty-somethings.

Next, they turn to an article on Fortune about Corcoran’s feel-good habit of firing negative workers on Fridays—and why doing so is essential to a healthy work environment.

Finally, for topic #3, Byron and Nicole respond to a BAM article with a Matt Lionetti Reel explaining why, yes, AI will replace real estate agents—but not for long.
