On this week's episode of the Studio 321 Podcast, Steve and Angela sit down with Donny Panasis of Embrace Home Loans to talk leadership, lending, and building a business rooted in people first.

Donny shares his journey from growing up in California and later calling Brevard home his home, and how he ultimately stepped into the branch manager role at Embrace after working for big banks.

He opens up about what makes Embrace different—the culture, the emphasis on care before expertise, and a team mentality where leadership exists to support, not control. Donny also breaks down programs helping first-time buyers and investors alike, including Florida Bond, Hometown Heroes, bank statement loans, DCSR lending, and exclusive Embrace offerings like their Approved to Close Guarantee and Guaranteed Appraisal Value.

From balancing family life to partnering with local brokerages and helping buyers overcome roadblocks that lead to life-changing closings, Donny shares stories and insights fueled by purpose, grit, and a love for the community he serves.

Tune in for inspiration, practical knowledge, and a reminder that relationships—not rates—are what sustain success in real estate.
