Episode notes
AI is no longer a future topic in mortgage lending. It is the force separating the companies that adapt from the ones that get outpaced. In this episode of the FinTech Hunting Podcast , Michael Hammond sits down with Jim Deitch , Co-Founder and CEO of Tera Verde , to talk about the hard truth facing mortgage leaders right now: AI is either coming to you or coming for you. This is not a surface-level conversation about shiny tools or hype. Jim breaks down what AI disruption really means for the mortgage industry, why speed matters more than ever, how weak workflows get exposed faster, and why leaders who fail to rethink process, profitability, and customer experience will lose ground to competitors who do. The episode centers on AI as a present-day competitive force in lending, not a distant trend.
