We recently connected with Christopher Kiblin and have shared our conversation below.

Christopher, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

So, this just happened to me, I have been in the mortgage business for over 15 years, and I decided to take the leap of faith and open my own Mortgage Company, Spartan Home Lending. I have wanted to do this for years I decided now is the time. It’s been a lot of late nights working 7 days a week and building my brand, but it is so worth it. I love the fact that I can give my customers better options than the big banks now because I can work with over 75 different lenders to make sure my clients are getting the best deal.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Christopher Kiblin is a Broker | Owner at Spartan Home Lending, Real Hustle Podcast Host and Author of Amazon’s bestselling motivational book “Own Your Day.” He is part of the Top 1 percent of Mortgage Loan Officers in the Country. Chris also holds multiple certificates such as Grant Cardone Ambassador Program, John Maxwell Master Coaching, and DISC Program. Christopher started working at the age of 11 when kids of his age were playing outside. Since childhood, Chris has had a lot of hardships and struggles on his back. His life was full of uncertainties and instabilities; he struggled in school and was even in a special needs class for English. To think he has now written a book.

Christopher’s parents divorced when he was one year old, not worrying about their kid’s future, making his childhood rough. After high school, Christopher joined the ARMY to get the discipline he needed. After getting out of the Army, Chris married the love of his life, Debbie. They had a struggling start as it was not easy for both of them. When Chris and Debbie had their first son, Alex, their life changed completely. Chris regards the birth of Alex as a turning point in his love life. Alex brought them closer and made their life worth living. Christopher put his business life on hold while he raised Alex and Brice. It was not until he was 45 years old that he hit rock bottom and decided to change who he was. Christopher went from being a bottom feeder loan officer to being in the Top 1% of all loan officers in the country.

Carrying the mindset of making things happen, Christopher developed himself as an author and motivational speaker. He wanted to share his wisdom with the struggling people around him so they won’t make the same mistakes as him. Moving forward with his pep talk skills, Chris started Real Hustle Podcast. The reason behind Real Hustle is his passion for helping the audience to learn about successful entrepreneurs and the best strategies in the marketplace.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Now a days social media is huge in business, if you are not using social media, you are missing out on a lot of opportunities to get your name out there.

I was once told that if people don’t know who you are and what you do for a living how are they going to do business with you.

The biggest thing is you have to be consistent with it, make sure you are at least posting daily on all the social media platforms. What must people think is the just keep posting on their personal pages but you can’t get the analytics you need to see if you post are working.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

This one just recently happened to me. Be careful who you trust with your plans, you could think this person is the best person in the world but if they could benefit from what you are doing, they may just use it to their advantage.
