This episode of Laugh, Lend, and Eat is a wild ride of insights, banter, and blindfolded truth-telling as I dive headfirst into the "Ask Fobby Anything" hot seat. No topic is off-limits and no question goes unanswered (well... almost none). With guest host and returning favorite Justin Neal joining us from Minnesota, we chop it up about leadership myths, flip phones, the evolution of AI in the mortgage industry, and even sticky situations involving jars of honey.
Whether you're in the mortgage game or just curious about the blend of comedy, candor, and career wisdom, this one has it all. Plus, you’ll hear the story behind my mall business card hustle in the '80s and the surprising guest that left a lasting impression on me. Buckle up—this is not your typical Q&A episode.
