In this episode of The MLO Project, Michael sits down with Chris Lamm—a mortgage veteran out of Redding, California—for a raw, real-world conversation about what it takes to thrive in this business over the long haul. Chris shares how he broke into the game at 17, how he weathered the 2008 crash, and what’s kept him leveling up ever since.

They dive into the gritty stuff—balancing work and family, the mental edge coaching provides, and why relationships still beat algorithms. Chris also unpacks how he’s using AI and tech to stay ahead without losing the human touch.
