My Guest on the Show…

The founder and CEO of Lenda comes on the show to share how his company is fixing the broken mortgage system.

If you have gone through the process of getting a loan or going through a re-fi, you know first-hand the process is absolutely ridiculous, takes way too long, and is about as confusing as possible.

The truth is: it’s designed this way. The less you understand, the more you will pay.

Jason comes on the show and explains how he started off inside the mortgage industry and quickly realized how great it was for the banks and lenders, and how horrible it was for us – the consumer.

Over the past five years, Jason has continued to improve and change the way homeowners are going through the most expensive financial decisions of their lives – the mortgage process.

On the show we talk about:

How Jason started his entrepreneurship journey
How Lenda speeds up the process of getting a loan
Getting instant approval versus giving all of your information only to be told you weren’t approved
What’s next for Lenda over the next year (this is cool)

Chris Petrie

Chris (Peach) Petrie is a personal finance expert, money coach, speaker and podcaster.

In 2011, Chris and his family were exhausted from living paycheck-to-paycheck and facing a mountain of debt. They started going against the society standards of misbehaving with money and made the decision to take back control of their lives and money. Within seven months they paid off $52,000, started saving like crazy and began building real wealth.

The word spread fast and Chris started showing friends how to create a budget over dinner. Soon after he started showing their friends how to do the same and eventually Chris started teaching personal finance classes around the community. As the need for the classes grew, Chris launched Money Peach in 2015.

Money Peach was created to help everyday people remove the stress and fear of money by showing them how to save more, make more, and keep more of their money.

Chris Peach has been featured in places like Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Elite Daily, and CheddarTV.

When Chris isn’t at “work” he can be found at the Crossfit gym or riding on the fire truck — Chris is also a full-time firefighter in Phoenix, Arizona.
