🎙 Episode 247

Host: Marc Summers (AIME’s Founding President)
Guest: Paul Messina (VA Loan Specialist at Canopy Mortgage)

This week’s episode features Paul Messina, a former paramedic, firefighter, police detective, and military veteran who found his way into the mortgage industry after a chance meeting with a loan officer who challenged him to “do his effing job.”

Paul shares his remarkable journey from healthcare and public safety to becoming a VA loan specialist, and how attending Ascent, AIME’s VIP retreat in Puerto Rico, gave him a new perspective on purpose, legacy, and the importance of self awareness.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

• Why the VA loan is one of the most underutilized benefits available to veterans.
• The importance of committing fully to a career in mortgages and not treating it as a part time endeavor.
• Why being a good human and putting good karma into the world leads to sustainable business growth.
• The value of embracing technology while avoiding shiny object syndrome.

💡 Golden Nugget:
“Just be a good human. Whatever way you choose to serve your fellow man, just be a good human.”
