Hosted by Jonathon Haddad, AIME’s Chairman & CEO, and Tommy Golightly, AIME’s Marketing Manager.
In this episode, Jonathon and Tommy tackle the growing challenge of protecting your mindset in a world designed to keep you distracted.

Sales Training | Protect Your Mindset
Jonathon shares the inspiration behind the Online Troll and Mr. Fuse video series.
This industry is full of noise, people in ivory towers, and social media personalities who aren’t actually writing loans. Your job is to stay focused on what genuinely matters.
Tommy adds that these social media platforms are not designed to make you happy.
They are designed to keep you engaged. Anger keeps you on the platform longer than joy.
So, remember to be very cautious about what you put into your mind. It has the power to dictate your day, your business, and your life.
Story Time | Go Where There Is No Path and Leave a Trail
The fortune cookie this week delivers a message about forging your own path.
Jonathon reflects on his family history, his father leaving Syria at eighteen with no English, and his wife’s ancestors moving west in the seventeen hundreds to claim land that did not exist yet.
Tommy connects it to leadership and the courage to challenge “the way we have always done it.” You do not have to follow the path in front of you. You can build a new one. But you have to be willing to take the first step.
