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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
