Homeownership is an important part of economically empowering people. Even though efforts have been made to level the playing field, underserved communities still face significant barriers in the buying market.  Equal access alone doesn't translate into equal opportunity, especially when race, religious beliefs, and language continue to influence the experiences of potential buyers.  This means marginalized communities remain on the sidelines, lacking the right tools and education to confidently step into ownership. What can be done to help people in these communities prepare to buy? What tools can we use for education when it comes to credit and buying? Can we leverage AI to translate to all potential buyers? CEO of Home Lending Pal, Bryan Young joins me to talk about the struggles underserved communities face when it comes to home-buying and how we can solve them.    Equal access doesn't necessarily mean equal opportunity. -Bryan Young   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Go from transactional to relationship based Shifting from a transactional approach to a relationship-based fosters trust and loyalty. How can focusing on building relationships rather than just transactions lead to meaningful success? -Doing things differently Adapting our approach is crucial when current methods aren't closing the gap. How can we recognize when it's time to pivot and try a new strategy? -AI is a pathway to significant impact. AI is a powerful tool for creating significant impact while also driving revenue growth. How can we use it to make a real difference for underserved communities? Guest Bio Bryan Young has a track record of success as an entrepreneur and in corporate America.

The speakers then delve into the cycle of expansion and contraction in IT, from mainframes and terminals to the current cloud services and multiple clouds. They touch on the increasing need for processing power and how the cloud addresses this demand. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about gaming, specifically playing Unreal Tournament and attending a LAN party at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Fortinet's free training and certification program, offered during the pandemic, is mentioned, with praise for its high quality and polished production. The importance of using correct terminology in the IT industry is emphasized, along with a personal anecdote about using the correct terms with a doctor.
