The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Remutaka MP.
At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you're having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn't enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.
To be elected, the candidate needs to secure the most votes.

Along with Michael Willis, he set off in 1978 in search of kunekune.
The pair traveled the back blocks of New Zealand to find survivors of the species, which was thought to have been introduced to the early 19th century.
At that time, there was thought to be about 60 left.
Kunekune, with their cartoon like features and friendly nature, are now popular pets thanks to the hard work of Simister and Willis.
