Welcome back to The ChemekeTable, where we gather around the table to talk about learning, work, and the real paths people take to get where they are today.

On this episode, I’m joined by Buddy Puckett. Buddy’s learning journey didn’t stop at college—like many of us, some of his most impactful lessons came from life itself. By trade, Buddy is a mortgage lender, but at his core he’s someone who deeply cares about people, relationships, and the community he serves.

Our conversation goes beyond rates and numbers. We talk about learning through experience, showing up for others, and what it really means to build trust in both business and life. Whether you’re early in your career, changing paths, or simply interested in people who lead with purpose, this is a conversation you’ll want to lean into.

Let’s pull up a chair and welcome Buddy Puckett to The ChemekeTable.
