Brandon Sparks is a straight-shooting branch manager at Nautilus Lending in the Austin–Dripping Springs area who makes mortgages make sense. He translates the alphabet soup—non-warrantable condos, land and construction, portfolio loans—into plain talk and practical steps. In this episode, Brandon shares real-world playbooks, the common “gotchas” to dodge, and what actually moves a file from maybe to closed today—plus a few behind-the-scenes stories from the weird corners of lending. No pitches, minimal jargon, useful takeaways you can use before your coffee gets cold.

Stories that deserve to be told! Based in Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis invite you into their world of engaging conversations with guests who bring fresh ideas, humor, and wisdom to the table. They dive into everything from life’s absurdities to community quirks, adding their signature twist of small-town charm and bold candor. Think of them as the funny neighbors with the best stories, the ones who always tell it like it is. With a healthy dose of Hill Country spirit, they explore local gossip and topics that connect us all—proving you don’t need to be famous to be extraordinary; you just need a microphone and the courage to share your voice. Every episode is a mix of laughter, insight, and connection, making this podcast one you won’t want to miss!
