Guest Appearance: Talking Business and Insurance with Chris Chudacoff of True Point Lending

I recently had the opportunity to join my friend Chris Chudacoff on his podcast. It was an absolute honor.

Chris doesn’t cut corners. That’s immediately clear in the production quality of his podcast. It is evident in everything he does, personally and professionally.

For over 31 years, Chris has been helping clients secure the right real estate financing based on their goals and objectives. His company, True Point Lending, provides a noticeably different lending experience — one built on transparency, expertise, and genuine care for clients.

I’ve known Chris for several years, and he’s always my first call for any mortgage or real estate financing needs. I recommend him to family, friends, and clients without hesitation.

We had a great conversation about business, relationships, and the real challenges that come with building and protecting both.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County

Yesterday I was grateful to spend a few hours with this ProVisors crew who served a few hours during a workday to pack meals for those in need.

Thank you to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County for allowing us to volunteer.

Second Harvest’s mission is to provide dignified, equitable and consistent access to nutritious food, creating a foundation for community health. I highly recommend checking them out and volunteering if possible.

Second Harvest offers volunteer opportunities for ages 13 and older with a chaperone in their Distribution Center.

Orange County Great Park

Since we’re in the middle of a lazy President’s Day holiday weekend with no real plans, my wife and I decided to check out Orange County Great Park in Irvine on Sunday to visit the Sunday Farmers Market. Located pretty much in the center of Irvine, not far from the Spectrum, Orange County Great Park is a transformation of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro into a massive metropolitan park.

The Certified Farmers Market is held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. every Sunday. Fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, handcrafted artisan products, and food trucks are on site to buy from. The weather was kind of crummy so the turnout was sparse but we bought some good food to take home to enjoy. We also walked a lot of the park which is dog and child friendly. It’s a great place to let them run loose and drain their energy.

Orange County Great Park has “The Great Park Balloon” which is the park’s main attraction. With the ability to hold up to 25 to 30 passengers, and soar 400 feet above the surrounding landscape, it serves as a public observation deck for the Great Park’s development and offers a 360° view that spans 40 miles on a clear day. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a clear day and the weather wasn’t ideal, so the balloon was closed . All good though.

Overall, it was a fun inexpensive way to get out to enjoy the weekend. I highly recommend it if you have kids or dogs and are looking for inexpensive family entertainment. Here are a handful of Orange County Great Park:
