    <description>Life Behind the Loans is a podcast for loan officers who want more than just production goals and commission checks.

Hosted by Tammy Schneider and Brian Mozley, this show dives into the real stories behind the mortgage business—the pressure, stress, relationships, identity shifts, burnout, and breakthroughs that come with the career.

Each episode features honest conversations with loan officers about how they got into the industry, what this job has given them, what it has taken at times, and how they’ve learned to build healthier businesses and fuller lives.

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but overwhelmed in real life, this podcast is for you.

Because there’s the business of lending—and then there’s life behind the loans.</description>
