What is one habit that has helped you succeed?
I’ve been successful because I made a habit of waking up every day and viewing the world through a housing consumer’s eyes. They don’t know or care about the wildly complex details we deal with in the mortgage industry, they just know they want to buy, finance, renovate and sell homes easily. It’s our job to simplify it for them, and true innovation means making these deeply complex things more accessible.
