Meet Beeline CEO and co-founder Nick Liuzza. He doesn’t wear a suit. His shirt’s usually untucked. And he was one of the co-founders of Beeline — one of the most progressive mortgage lenders out there — right in the middle of the toughest market imaginable.
In this episode, our Home Run host Alex Sendek goes deep with our CEO, Nick Liuzza.
We get into:
- Why someone would willingly launch a mortgage startup when 90% of startups fail
- What drives him (besides strong espresso and tech-powered optimism)
- What growing up in New Orleans taught him about resilience
- What NASDAQ day felt like
- And yep, his favorite Nutria story 🐀
If you’ve ever wondered how Beeline came to be — or just want a behind-the-scenes look at a founder who breaks the mold — this one’s unmissable.
