In this episode of the Tea & Mortgage podcast, John Coleman and Norm discuss how AI is rapidly evolving and how JC Mortgages is using it to improve client experience without replacing human advice.

They share an update on a newly introduced AI phone agent that transparently contacts new leads to send a link and speed up getting clients connected with an advisor, noting mixed reactions but emphasizing authenticity and reputation.

You’ll also hear the state of AI in everyday work described as a “caddy, not the golfer,” best used to eliminate drudge work (a 10-80-10 approach) so professionals can focus on nuanced, human-to-human guidance.

But they also warn against generic “AI slop” from other companies and professionals, talk about faster file review and operational efficiency, and explore broader impacts on jobs, demographics, and society, while expecting continued demand for authentic relationships and in-person connection.
