Why the Mortgage Business is So Hard to Exit & How One Leader Did It On His Own Terms w/Tom Tousignant

In an industry like mortgage, the idea of retiring gracefully on your own terms is so radical it’s almost unheard of. Most people can’t step away from the day-to-day activities, let alone the cash cow that is doing loans, but that’s just what my guest and good friend did.

How was he able to have his team take over his role, and then retire from the business entirely?

In this episode, retired Regional SVP for Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp, Tom Tousignant talks about exiting his business in an industry that’s not really known for freedom.
