But lately, some of those familiar faces have disappeared, changed careers or found themselves facing serious financial challenges. So what happened? In Episode 2 of Managing the Madness, Adam Locklear and Gary Booth take a look at the rise and fall of the real estate guru industry, the changing economy and what happens when the easy money era comes to an end.
