Episode 579
Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.
In this episode, Carl and Chris Johnstone trade insights on the lessons they wish they had learned earlier, sharing candid stories that touch both business and life.
You will hear why 79 percent of funded loans come from referrals, how to apply technology to people you already know, and the simple follow up rhythms with pre-approvals, partners, and your database that compound results.
Carl shares why having hard conversations early protects relationships and revenue, how guarding your morning creates consistent output, and why saying no is the skill that unlocks focus, family time, and better work.
They also dig into faith, the influence of your five closest relationships, the value of respectful disagreement, and why playing the long game matters more than any quick win.
You will walk away with practical moves like saving a fixed percentage first, building online reviews before AI-driven search makes reputation the top ranking factor, and using your calendar so discipline beats motivation every single day.
