Hey, everybody. This is Carl White, broadcasting from the studios, actually, here in the

secret headquarters of the mortgage marketing animals. And you are listening to Loan Officer

Freedom number one podcast in the world today. Thanks and 100% because of you, the listener. And I knew it was

an anticipation that you knew someday I would be interviewing the one, the only, the queen of all,

Amy Simmons on an episode. And this is that episode. Amy, good in our world today

as we're recording this. Good afternoon. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me, Carl.

Yeah. So, man, it's great to be here. We have a great topic. So the topic, the basic topic,

and we're going to kind of see how this goes. We might, I might overdub the, uh, the intro here and call it something else. But the idea is, it's like, what do you do first and don't do it all first? Something, something like that. So we'll, uh, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll figure that part out. So Amy, kind of give us a

lay of land here a little bit. Where are you located, loan officer, branch manager, broker, banker,

kind of give us a little bit of the lay of the land. Sure. I'm in the Southeast Valley of Phoenix,

Arizona, called Gilbert, Arizona. My office is in Chandler. And I am a loan officer with a small

team inside a branch and have started growing that team since 2019. Nice. Good for you. So how

don't you been in the business for? I've been in the business for 20 years, which I always kind of say with a

little bit of a chuckle because I feel like a lot of those years were like being in the business

the first year all over again for a bunch of times. I had children and kind of kept my foot in

the door for a long time. And so just in the last three years,

I've really been able to commit my whole heart and soul to growing this business and really

helping more people. Nice. You know, it's a, it's a good gig we have, isn't it? It really is.

It is. You know, it's, I've always thought, you know, it's amazing they don't teach this in the cut.

You know, they teach 14th century art history, which zero chance of getting a job for all product purposes.

But here we have this amazing career where the vast majority of us or those that actually

take action and do steps what we're talking about today make way more than an accountant does
