663: Why This Top Banker Walked Away from a 6-Figure Bonus - Justin Chausse

What would happen if you stopped building someone else’s brand—and started building your own?

Justin Chausse went from running a landscaping business, to funding 185 files a year at a bank, to building a thriving mortgage business as a broker. In this episode, he shares why he left the bank (despite a six-figure signing bonus offer), how he overcame the fear of going independent, and what he learned about earning more by doing less. If you're a bank specialist or self-sourcing mortgage pro thinking about the broker world, this one’s a must-listen.

What We Cover:

• Self-Sourcing Success – Why Justin's 70% self-sourced business made him realize he didn’t need the bank.
• Doing Less, Earning More – How he replaced 185 bank files with 60 broker files—and made more money.
• Profit for Clients, Not Shareholders – The freedom to put clients first without red tape or handcuffs.
• Choosing Your Own Tools – How being a broker gave him control over the client experience and back-end tech.
• Keep It Simple – Why most new brokers get overwhelmed, and how focusing on conversations builds a stronger business.
