As AI continues to reshape industries across the globe, we explore its potential impact on the mortgage broking industry. Julian shares his insights into how AI is already transforming the way brokers operate, the future of AI in lending, and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Whether you're curious about the practical applications of AI in your business and wondering how it might affect your role as a broker, this episode is a must-listen.

Key points:

• We explore how AI can streamline the broking process by handling straightforward "vanilla" deals, allowing brokers to focus on more complex cases that require the "human touch".

• We highlight how AI can serve as a powerful assistant to brokers, enhancing efficiency and decision-making without replacing the need for human interaction.
• We talk about the implications for administrative roles and how it might elevate staff to more strategic roles.

Key quotes:

"AI is going to be disruptive, but it’s about harnessing that power to enhance the client experience and make our roles more impactful, not about being afraid of it." - Marissa

"It's fascinating to see how quickly AI is evolving and what it means for the future of our industry, particularly in how we balance technology with the personal touch that our clients expect." - Marissa

"It's not just about AI doing the job faster; it's about using the time it frees up to deepen client relationships and improve t
