Many of us remember the days of percentage rates in the teens. The best prepared businesses still made money. Home values weren’t even at record highs! And the sky did not fall after all.

It wouldn’t be a LodeStar Lending Leaders Summer Session if we didn’t include an episode about generational differences. This week we tapped our resident Gen Zer, Fiona, to discuss differences between Gen Z and Millennials.

Octavia gets back from vacation and wants to know if Horace contacted the referral she sent his way.
