Stop Wineing About Real Estate

Ep. 45 - From Restaurant Entrepreneur To Loan Whisperer: How Richie Tackled ACL Recovery, AI, And The Mortgage Maze

Emmanuel and Sarah

What do knee surgery, reality TV drama, and cutting-edge AI tools have in common? Richie Gehrlein, of course. In this dynamic episode of Stop Wineing About Real Estate, host Emmanuel St. Germain and co-host Sarah Biernbaum welcome their longtime friend and now teammate Richie for a candid, funny, and inspiring conversation. Richie opens up about his transition from hospitality to home loans, how an ACL tear taught him humility, and why answering client texts at 10 p.m. is just part of the gig.

Whether you're in real estate, recovering from burnout, or just wondering how AI fits into the mortgage world, Richie’s insights—and hilarious stories about “Boober” boat rides and Survivor flops—will keep you hooked. This episode is a blend of entrepreneurial grit, tech talk, and locker-room-level laughs that reminds us why being human (and a little scrappy) still matters in a tech-driven world.
