Episode 22: Break the Mold – with Chris Gautieri
In this episode of the I AM Self-ish podcast, host Will Wright sits down with mortgage expert Chris Gautieri to explore what it really takes to achieve homeownership when your financial life doesn’t fit the traditional mold. Whether you’re self-employed, an entrepreneur, or someone with a non-traditional income stream, this conversation is packed with clarity, compassion, and creative solutions.
With over 12 years of experience and nearly 1,000 families served, Chris shares the realities of the mortgage world—including the emotional stress behind homebuying and the limitations of one-size-fits-all lending. He breaks down why financial storytelling matters, the power of alternative financing, and how to avoid common mistakes that hold people back from owning a home.
As Chris says, “When the big banks miss—you better call Chris.”
