    S2 EP 8: From Bay Area Roots To Mortgage Matchmaker: Kent Smith On Connection, Grit, And Hospitality

    Send us a text We trade holiday-season nostalgia for hard-won lessons on optimism, connection, and doing the work in a bruised market. Kent Smith joins us to explore why hospitality beats speed, how to recruit in a shrinking talent pool, and what tech can and can’t replace. • seasonal shift, family updates, baby-led weaning • gratitude mindset, optimism as a daily practice • Kent’s Bay Area roots, Metallica as identity marker • parenting in a hyper-online world, teen driving and boundaries • what a mortgage recruiter does, trust-building and pipeline • commission reality, discipline as the cost of freedom • hospitality vs service, emotion as competitive moat • the phone problem, cold-call and text strategies • aging loan officer base, missing campus recruiting • tech acceleration, blockchain, speed vs human trust • Sacramento quality of life, growth and affordability • lightning round: Wyatt Earp, values, and consequences
