July 28, 2025

Episode 568

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.

In this episode, your host, Carl White, is joined by industry leader Owen Lee to unravel the mystery behind the Federal Reserve, interest rate changes, and how those decisions are really made.

You’ll learn what the Fed’s dual mandate means (hint: it’s more than just “raise or lower rates”) and why no single person—including the Fed Chair—holds the power most people think they do.

Owen breaks down the Fed’s voting process, how the mechanics of interest rates work like fuel in the economic engine, and why inflation targets aren’t as simple as they sound.

You’ll also hear Carl’s take on why top producers don’t base their business success on what the Fed does—and how smart marketing trumps rate watching.

If you’ve ever been confused about the connection between Fed meetings and mortgage rates, this is the clarity-packed episode you’ve been waiting for.
