#93 How A Mortgage Coach Went From 60 Hour Weeks to 6 | Anthony Marinaccio

September 22, 2026·1h 3m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Mortgage consultant Anthony Marinaccio, 23 years in lending and still writing his own loans, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: he does the same volume of business today in under six hours a week that used to take him sixty. We got into the system behind that, from cutting 253 referral agents down to 14 to the consultant who stopped taking his money and told him he was at the wrong company. But the part that stayed with me was a man who built all of that, coming home at the end of a long day to photograph his own housework as proof, and what it finally took for him to file. He was winning awards and getting written up in Forbes while hating every day of it, and what he did next took almost every referral partner he had with it.
