Should Jerome Powell Resign?

In this episode of The Brutally Honest Loan Officers Podcast, Stephen Brock and Derick Brown dive into a question that could shake the markets: What happens if Jerome Powell resigns as Chair of the Federal Reserve? This isn’t just a political hot take—it’s a serious conversation about leadership at the top of the economic food chain and how it impacts mortgage rates, homebuyers, and the housing market as a whole.

They break down what the FED actually does, how Powell's policies have shaped the market, and what kind of chaos—or opportunity—could follow a sudden change in leadership. Most importantly, they bring it back to the consumer: how loan officers, realtors, and homeowners should prepare for what comes next.

If you want to understand the ripple effects of FED decisions (without the Wall Street jargon), this episode is a must-listen.
