Armand sits down with Ryan LaRussa, Producing Sales Manager at Synergy One Lending and a seasoned mortgage professional serving clients across multiple states. Ryan shares how two decades in the industry honed his client-focused mindset and what it takes to guide others through life-changing financial decisions. From navigating economic ups and downs—including the 2008 housing crisis and Louisiana’s major flood events—to building a high-performance team anchored in integrity, he talks values, trust, and why impact matters more than transactions.

Ryan reflects on how helping clients achieve their dreams—whether first‑time buyers or real estate investors—became more than a job. He dives into the strategies that drive long-term relationships and how establishing a culture of consistent value has set him apart in a competitive field. 

It’s a conversation about purpose, perseverance, and doing business the right way—not just for numbers, but for people.
