This special episode flips the script.

Welcome to Coaching with Trev, a unique edition of Coaching with Chris where Trevor York steps into the host seat and interviews Chris Vinson. In this candid, high impact conversation, Trevor pulls back the curtain on the mindset, systems, and principles that have made Chris one of the most respected coaches and leaders in the mortgage industry

This episode goes far beyond tactics. Trevor challenges Chris in real time, stress testing sales strategies, database execution, leadership philosophy, culture building, stress management, and how to scale a business without sacrificing family or relationships.

Chris breaks down why the single most important skill in mortgage is learning how to ask, why your database should be treated like a portfolio, and how consistent execution beats any shortcut or cheat code. They dive deep into call reluctance, mental blocks, and why most loan officers already have everything they need to grow if they would just use it.

The conversation also explores what separates top producers from everyone else, including investing in yourself, being a lifelong student, building real accountability, and creating a culture where people want to win every day. Chris shares how he manages pressure, why progress reduces stress, and how strong leadership requires both truth and care.

One of the most powerful parts of the episode focuses on balance. Chris opens up about marriage, family, and intentional living, sharing how communication, calendars, and commitment make it possible to build a big career without losing what matters most.

In this episode, you will learn:
• How to add two or more deals per month without buying leads
• Why asking is the most powerful skill in sales
• How to turn your database into a true income producing portfolio
• How to overcome call reluctance and commission breath
• Why boring fundamentals create extraordinary results
• How top performers manage stress and rebound faster
• Why investing in yourself creates an unfair advantage
• How to build a culture of accountability people actually want
• How to grow a business without sacrificing marriage or family

If you are a loan officer, mortgage broker, sales leader, or business owner looking to grow production, sharpen your mindset, and build something sustainable, this episode is a must watch.
