In Part 1, Lori Ann explains what her job is as CNBC's Senior Talent Producer and producer of CNBC's Squawk Box. In doing so, she gives us a different perspective of how the interviews and experts she books for CNBC are meant to help everyone. She says, "you really have to do your own due diligence...but the people we have on are a good starting point for investors to get your mind going."
"Your money is personal. You worked very hard for your money. Why would you want to just hand over the reigns and not really look over somebody's shoulder or do some due diligence..."
She shares some simple lessons from several regular CNBC guests who were also contributors in Lori Ann's book "Thriving in the New Economy" (http://bit.ly/laroccobook). These include investors WilBur Ross and Ron Baron, and real estate mogul Richard LeFrak.
