Also in hour one: feeling the post-holiday credit card hangover? Maurice Coleman, Senior VP at Bank of America, shares smart, practical strategies to dig out of debt and build better financial habits for the year ahead.  In hour two, Republican candidate Tyler Macallister talks about his run for Congress in Massachusetts’ 9th District — the issues fueling his campaign and what voters are telling him on the trail. And we’ll close the night with former healthcare CEO and author Becca Pearce, discussing her new book You Don’t Have to Achieve to Be Loved — and why success doesn’t have to come at the expense of self-worth.}
