About
This episode isn’t about politics.It’s about calling, conviction, and staying in the fight when nobody believes in you.Senator Steven Choi came to America with $50, an accent, and zero guarantees.Years later, he became the first Republican in 44 years to defeat a sitting Democratic Senator in California — with almost no party support and a fraction of the money.In this deeply personal episode of Coffeez for Closers, we talk about:• Losing elections — and realizing defeat was the setup• Faith when the math doesn’t make sense• Why comfort is the enemy of calling• Being rejected by your own party — and winning anyway• Immigration, identity, and building legacy in America• Why leadership starts long before titles ever show upThis conversation is honest, grounded, and timeless.Not hype. Not politics.Just purpose over position.If you’ve ever felt overlooked… written off… or told it was “too late” — this episode is for you.Top producers at E Mortgage Capital are earning more per deal—with faster closings, better tech, and no junk fees.
