AI Will Replace You Unless You Do THIS! 10/08/2025

AI Will Replace You Unless You Do THIS! Welcome back to Pursuit to Own with The Purpose Developer, Christopher Pitt. In this episode, Chris gets real about preparing for a future reshaped by AI, job displacement, and economic uncertainty. For 20 years, he’s helped people achieve homeownership—but the math is no longer working. First-generation achievers and hardworking families—the “missing middle”—are caught between earning too much to qualify for help and not enough to secure stability. Chris explains why traditional financial literacy is no longer enough. AI and automation are accelerating change faster than people can adapt, making reskilling, community building, and proactive wealth strategies essential. This episode is about strategy, not fear—it’s about pivoting, protecting your freedom, and treating ownership as survival, not just a “someday goal.” Key Takeaways: Urgency Over Complacency: AI is moving fast. Adapt daily, not “someday,” to protect your financial future. From Literacy to Action: Financial knowledge alone won’t save you. Focus on income-producing assets and multiple revenue streams. Re-Skill Now: Every industry will be affected. Prepare before change forces your hand. Identity Beyond Jobs: Don’t tie your worth to a company or role. Ask yourself, “Who am I without my job?” Community Is Survival: Build your own tribe. Shared resources and group economics will be vital. Homeownership Must Evolve: Buy not just a house, but a strategy for generational wealth that withstands rapid change. Quotes from Christopher Pitt: “The math is not mathing. I’ve been creating homeowners for 20 years, and the trajectory I’m seeing now is unsustainable.” “This is a moment where first-generation people can build something that truly lasts—but only if they act now.” “It’s not just money. It’s freedom. When you have resources, you can live without everyday constraints.” “If your identity is trapped in one industry, when that industry is gone, who are you?” “You’re only valuable because you’re doing something that can’t be done—but every day something’s working 24/7 to replace you.” “We’re going back to hunting and gathering—group economics, community, and shared survival.” Episode Timeline: [00:00] AI Literacy as the New Financial Literacy [01:21] Homeownership as an Anchor for First-Generation Families [03:29] Financial Survival vs. Wealth Creation [05:43] AI in Corporations and Job Displacement [09:28] Homeownership, Income Security, and Future Planning [14:02] Community, Tribe, and Group Economics for Survival [16:42] The Cliff Ahead: Urgency to Adapt in AI Economy [18:10] Focus on the 10% Humans Do Better Than AI [20:01] Betting on Yourself: Reskilling and Learning New Skills [22:06] Protecting First-Generation Wealth Through Real Estate [23:07] Call to Action: Stay Adaptable, Build Community, Protect Freedom Conclusion: The next few years will feel like a whirlwind.

Adapt or Get Left Behind: The New Path to Success! Welcome back to Pursuit to Own with The Purpose Developer, Christopher Pitt. In this episode, Chris gets real about the urgency of preparing for a future reshaped by AI, job losses, and shifting economic realities. For 20 years, he’s been creating homeowners—just assisting—but now the math isn’t working anymore. Homeownership, job security, and generational wealth are under pressure like never before. Chris speaks directly to first-generation achievers and hardworking families—the “missing middle”—who are stuck between earning too much to qualify for help and not enough to afford stability. He shares why simply “financial literacy” won’t save you anymore, how AI is accelerating change faster than people can adapt, and what you must do now to protect your freedom, your future, and your family. This episode isn’t about fear; it’s about strategy. It’s about pivoting, re-skilling, building community, and treating ownership like survival, not a “someday goal.” Key Takeaways: Urgency Over Complacency: The speed of AI and automation means you must adapt daily—not “someday”—to survive financially. From Literacy to Action: Financial literacy alone is not enough. The focus must shift to acquiring income-producing assets and creating multiple income streams. Re-Skill Now: Every industry will be impacted. Begin re-skilling yourself before change forces you to. Identity Beyond Jobs: Don’t tie your worth to a company or industry. Ask yourself: “Who am I without my job?” Community Is Survival: Build your own tribe. Collective economics and support systems will matter more than ever in the coming years. Homeownership Must Evolve: It’s no longer just about buying a house—it’s about creating a generational wealth strategy that can withstand rapid change. Quotes from Christopher Pitt: “The math is not mathing. I’ve been creating homeowners for 20 years, and the trajectory I’m seeing now is unsustainable.” “This is one of those moments in time where first-generation people can build something that truly lasts—but only if they act now.” “It’s not just money.

Will AI Replace Your Job? Build Wealth Before It’s Too Late! 09/22/2025

Will AI Replace Your Job? Build Wealth Before It’s Too Late! AI, automation, and digital currency are rewriting the economy in real time. For first-generation and working-class families, the system was already hard enough—and now it’s shifting under our feet. In this episode of the Pursuit to Own Podcast, Christopher Pitt delivers a wake-up call: jobs as we know them are disappearing, and survival alone won’t protect you. Raised in struggle and driven by purpose, he challenges listeners to stop waiting, start pivoting, and build something machines can’t replace. This isn’t about chasing hype. It’s about taking ownership of your future before someone else takes it for you. Quotes “If your job can be turned into a task, it can and will be outsourced to a machine.” — Christopher Pitt “AI has no childhood. It doesn’t know pain. Purpose is born in pain—and that’s where our power is.” — Christopher Pitt “You’re not behind because you’re lazy. You’re behind because the rules keep changing. Stop waiting for a rescue.” — Christopher Pitt “Use the same tools the rich are using—but build something they can’t replicate.” — Christopher Pitt “The time for waiting is over. Your family needs you to get in pursuit.” — Christopher Pitt Key Takeaways Audit your skills now to identify anything that can’t easily be automated or outsourced. Tie your work to your purpose—this is your unfair advantage over machines. Create a secondary income stream within 30–60 days to prepare for job disruption. Leverage emerging tech like AI not to compete at the same level as big companies, but to build something uniquely yours. Shift your mindset from survival to strategy—start plotting a 2–3 year plan that includes business or asset ownership.

AI can outwork us, but it can’t out-purpose us. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck or stuck in survival mode, waiting is no longer an option. The very pain and struggle you’ve endured may hold the blueprint for your next chapter—but only if you act. This episode is a call to position yourself now, before the next wave hits.

Stop Just Surviving—Start Thriving | Christopher Pitt’s Guide to Purpose & AI Skills 08/08/2025

Stop Just Surviving—Start Thriving | Christopher Pitt’s Guide to Purpose & AI Skills Getting ahead is tough when you’re stuck in survival mode—grinding every day just to stay afloat. In this episode of the Pursuit to Own Podcast, Christopher Pitt gets real about what that mindset costs us. It’s not just about money—it’s about missing your shot at something bigger. He breaks down how generations are raised to hustle but never taught how to build, especially in a world reshaped by AI and rapid change. The shift? It starts with purpose. Christopher shares how finding clarity gave him the push to stop surviving and start building a life with meaning, not just motion. Quotes: "We're put in a position where we wear a badge of courage for surviving, not succeeding—surviving because so many things around us put us in a situation where survival is the only way out." — Christopher Pitt "If you're always surviving, are you really being successful? If the road is always filled with barriers and challenges, are you really successful?" — Christopher Pitt "Either you're going to learn how to use it, or someone is going to be using you at the end of the day. " — Christopher Pitt Key Takeaways: Ask yourself if you are just surviving or truly succeeding. Make a one-year plan to adapt to rapid changes in technology. Identify your purpose and how it can help you move forward. Explore ways to use AI and new tools to improve your skills. Assess if your daily actions are routine or moving you closer to your goals. Episode Timeline: [00:00] Why surviving is not the same as succeeding [03:17] How purpose changes the way we measure success [09:34] What tech disruption means for your next move [12:21] What first-gen success really takes behind the scenes [14:41] Why purpose still matters in a world full of change Conclusion: Real success means moving beyond just doing what’s needed to get through the day. It calls for clear intention, steady focus, and the courage to take action that reflects what matters most. As technology, especially AI, changes how we work and live, staying sharp and open to learning is more important than ever. Growth comes from honest reflection, taking smart risks, and making sure your daily efforts move you in a direction that feels right and meaningful.

From Poverty to Power How I Changed My Life! 07/31/2025

From Poverty to Power How I Changed My Life! Most people are just trying to survive—but what happens when surviving isn’t enough? In this episode of the Pursuit to Own Podcast, Christopher Pitt opens up about the harsh reality facing so many: rising costs, unstable jobs, and systems that feel rigged from the start. He shares his own story of hitting dead ends, watching AI and economic shifts erase opportunity almost overnight. But instead of giving in, he chose to build something different. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about choosing purpose over panic. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, this conversation might help you see a new way forward. Quotes: "Your purpose is so embedded in you—so deep in the flesh—that your DNA cannot be sold." — Christopher Pitt " You would think that would be a good thing, but helping people can be hard. Helping people is the hardest business I've ever been in my entire life." — Christopher Pitt "You have 99 reasons to stop; your job is to find the one reason to keep going, and most times that one reason is when you look in the mirror. " — Christopher Pitt "The most valuable thing you have is your time, and that is what purpose requires from you—to give up the most valuable thing in your life." — Christopher Pitt "You can't save your way out when you're struggling. You need a strategic plan to get you out of there." — Christopher Pitt Key Takeaways: Map out a side income strategy using your current job's skills and network, aiming to create revenue streams outside your primary employment. Identify a personal pain point or challenge from your past that could become the foundation of a purpose-driven business or mission. Create a 30-day personal challenge focused on understanding your core motivations and breaking through self-imposed limitations. Develop a 2-3 year strategic plan that includes specific goals for business ownership, real estate investment, or alternative income generation. Audit your current financial ecosystem and identify at least one concrete step to protect yourself against potential job market disruptions caused by emerging technologies. Episode Timeline: [00:00] Why purpose matters more than just making money [05:08] How personal pain shaped a mission to build [10:14] What no one tells you about helping people [14:47] How poverty mindsets keep people from change [21:04] What ai means for your job and your future [25:47] Why ownership is the only way out of the trap [32:19] What to do now if you want real stability Conclusion: Work rooted in purpose often asks more of us—it calls for emotional strength, personal sacrifice, and a willingness to turn hardship into action. In today’s shifting economy, especially with the rise of AI, financial stability depends less on traditional paths and more on ownership and diverse income sources. Escaping cycles of poverty takes more than a plan; it takes a shift in thinking. Letting go of self-doubt, pushing past gatekeepers, and taking full responsibility for one’s future are key steps toward lasting change. It's not easy, but it’s necessary.

From $1 to $1 Million: Building a Purpose-Driven Real Estate Portfolio 07/10/2025

From $1 to $1 Million: Building a Purpose-Driven Real Estate Portfolio Flipping a rundown house for fast cash might sound like a dream—but most real estate “hacks” leave new investors spinning their wheels. In this episode of the Pursuit to Own Podcast, Christopher Pitt strips back the hype and talks real numbers, real neighborhoods, and real responsibility. Buying cheap property isn’t the magic move—it’s what you do with it that counts. Christopher shares how he’s turned overlooked lots into thriving spaces by focusing on long-term impact instead of short-term gain. It’s not about luck or quick flips—it’s about purpose. From rebuilding trust in neglected communities to creating real value where others see risk, this episode challenges everything you think you know about investing. If you’ve ever wondered whether real estate could actually mean something beyond profit, this one’s for you. Because sometimes the biggest return isn’t just financial—it’s knowing you left something better than you found it. Quotes: "If you got a property for $1, there's a reason—and that's what most people don't understand. They see the dollar but don't understand the damage." — Christopher Pitt "The cabinets don't make the neighborhood. The community does." — Christopher Pitt "Real estate ain't free for anybody. Either you're going to pay for acquisition or you're going to pay through construction. One way or another, you're going to pay. " — Christopher Pitt "This game is about the snowball effect. When you get a $1 property, the only way to reach a $1 million purpose portfolio is through hard work, dedication, and the snowball effect." — Christopher Pitt "If you don't have some level of ‘why’ in this, you can't succeed, because what you're going to run into—you can't even imagine." — Christopher Pitt Key Takeaways: Research local housing authorities and non-profit organizations that offer $1 property opportunities in underserved communities. Develop a community-first mindset: Plan to invest time and resources beyond renovation, focusing on neighborhood improvement and building trust. Create a realistic budget that accounts for unexpected challenges, including potential tool theft, unreliable workers, and extensive structural repairs. Create a comprehensive budget worksheet comparing potential mortgage scenarios, interest rates, and total ownership costs to make an informed decision. Build a long-term strategy for multiple property acquisitions, understanding that your first project is the most challenging and sets the foundation for future success.

It starts with knowing where you stand financially and working with people who truly have your back. It’s not just about picking the right house, but making sure the whole process supports your bigger financial picture. Being informed, asking smart questions, and staying firm on what matters to you can make all the difference. The best outcomes come when you approach homeownership with clarity, confidence, and care.

The Pursuit of Ownership: First-Time Home Buyer's Guide: Essential Steps to Purchasing Your Dream Home 06/26/2025

The Pursuit of Ownership: First-Time Home Buyer's Guide: Essential Steps to Purchasing Your Dream Home Trying to break into real estate can feel like you’re playing a game with rules no one bothered to explain. Prices climb, paperwork piles up, and even when you think you're making progress, it somehow slips through your fingers. In this episode of the Pursuit to Own podcast, Christopher Pitt teams up with guest Pamela Debnam to break down why so many people feel stuck when trying to buy a home. It’s not just about money—it’s about knowing the rules of the game. From confusing mortgage terms to credit score myths and tricky realtor relationships, Pamela shares what most first-time buyers get wrong. This conversation is all about flipping the script. Homeownership isn’t out of reach—it just takes a smarter strategy. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building, this episode gives you the tools to take control. Quotes: "If you find a good realtor, they will nurture you. Between your lender—who, in most cases, has repair people or companies signed up with them—they can also tell you what to do to get your scores up." — Pamela Debnam "Don't be discouraged, and please don't rely on Credit Karma. I know a lot of those third-party credit monitoring apps are great for showing you. But if you think that's your actual score, when you pull your credit from a lender's perspective, it could be higher, it could be lower—it will not be the same." — Pamela Debnam "There are good realtors who focus only on ready-to-go buyers. They feel like they don't have the time to nurture someone. But there are also people in it not just for financial reasons—they truly want to guide and help actual people achieve homeownership." — Pamela Debnam "Commissions are negotiable—they always have been. But due to all the different lawsuits and changes in the market, everything has been fine-tuned in the hope of making it better." — Pamela Debnam "Do not feel obligated to anyone. You can get out of any agency agreement, and you can go to any new lender. Don't just go for something just to go for it." — Pamela Debnam Key Takeaways: Pull your official credit report from a direct lender, not third-party apps, to understand your true financial standing and potential home buying power. Schedule a strategy session with a realtor who demonstrates genuine commitment to nurturing your home ownership goals, not just closing quick sales. Map out a 12-month credit improvement plan with specific milestones, targeting realistic enhancements that will strengthen your mortgage qualification potential. Create a comprehensive budget worksheet comparing potential mortgage scenarios, interest rates, and total ownership costs to make an informed decision. Build a network of trusted professionals - a realtor, lender, and financial advisor - who are aligned with your specific home ownership objectives and willing to provide transparent guidance.

It starts with knowing where you stand financially and working with people who truly have your back. It’s not just about picking the right house, but making sure the whole process supports your bigger financial picture.

The Pursuit of Ownership:Pursuit or Poverty: Finding Your Purpose in a Changing Economy 06/06/2025

The Pursuit of Ownership:Pursuit or Poverty: Finding Your Purpose in a Changing Economy In a world where survival trumps dreams, you're either in pursuit or trapped in poverty. What if your current path leads to a dead end? In this episode of the Pursuit to Own Podcast, Christopher Pitt gets real about what it means to fight for a future in a world that’s changing fast. If you’re stuck surviving while the economy shifts and AI threatens your job, this message hits home. Christopher shares the hard truth: you’re either moving forward or falling behind. Raised in struggle, fueled by purpose, he urges listeners to stop waiting for a rescue. This isn’t about chasing success—it’s about refusing to settle. When the system isn’t built for you, you’ve got two choices: stay stuck or start building your own way out. Quotes: "You're going to have 99 reasons to stop. Your job is to find the one reason to keep going—and most of the time, that one reason is when you look in the mirror." — Christopher Pitt "Sometimes, somebody just has to crack the door open for you. It doesn't have to be all the way—just a crack." — Christopher Pitt "You cannot save your way out when you're struggling. You need a strategic plan to get you out of there." — Christopher Pitt "We are bred without belief. That means you were bred without belief. That means you have made things happen without anybody believing." — Christopher Pitt "Pursuit to own is about getting in position to own. It's a timing thing. You have to be ready." — Christopher Pitt Key Takeaways: Map out your personal purpose by identifying a painful past experience that drives you to help others. Create a side income stream outside your current job within the next 30 days to protect against potential job displacement. Develop a 2-3 year strategic plan for financial stability that includes real estate or business ownership. Challenge yourself to break through self-imposed limitations and the "poverty mindset" by taking one concrete step toward your goals this week.

It calls for steady focus, emotional strength, and a belief that change is possible—even when the odds are stacked high. As technology and AI shift the economy, knowing how to build and protect income has become essential. Many find that their deepest sense of purpose comes from personal struggle, which can become a source of strength for others. To move forward, people must stay persistent, challenge old beliefs, and take ownership of their future.

The Pursuit of Ownership: Breaking Free from Poverty Through Determination and Self-Belief 05/22/2025

The Pursuit of Ownership: Breaking Free from Poverty Through Determination and Self-Belief Are you tired of being trapped in a cycle of financial struggle, watching opportunities slip away while the world rapidly changes? In this episode of the Pursuit to Own Podcast, Christopher Pitt speaks directly to those raised to survive but never taught how to build. If you’re tired of watching life pass by while stuck in the same paycheck-to-paycheck loop, this one’s for you. Christopher unpacks what it means to be part of the “pursuit breed”—those wired to hustle without direction. He calls for a shift: from reacting to life to building something that lasts. It’s not just about making money—it’s about reclaiming your future. Because when the system isn’t built for you, you learn to build one for yourself. Quotes: "Poverty only exists for people that don't have a vision. If you start to change what you see, you start seeing ways out of poverty." — Christopher Pitt "You cannot see what's at the end of the road if you don't go." — Christopher Pitt "Ownership isn't about just owning the house. It's the principles that come with ownership." — Christopher Pitt "If the last person you had to bet on was you, and you knew that person was gonna come through, that's power." — Christopher Pitt "Through pain, there is purpose." — Christopher Pitt Key Takeaways: · Audit your current job and skills: Map out how your industry will transform in the next 10-30 years with AI and technology, then create a strategic plan to stay relevant or pivot. · Calculate your financial survival runway: Determine exactly how long you could sustain yourself if all income stopped tomorrow, then develop alternative income streams or emergency skill sets. · Build a "pursuit network" of ambitious, growth-minded individuals who challenge and support your goals, replacing negative influences that keep you trapped in poverty mindset. · Invest time learning financial trends instead of fashion trends: Commit 30-60 minutes daily to understanding stocks, real estate, emerging technologies, and wealth-building strategies. · Create a generational wealth blueprint that extends beyond your immediate needs, thinking about how your current actions could impact your grandchildren's opportunities. Episode Timeline: [01:10] Why Aaliyah wants more than just an apartment life [05:12] What surprised Aaliyah most about the first session [08:07] How to avoid delays by coming fully prepared [14:16] Landing three jobs before graduation day hits [33:37] Treating the program like a big class assignment Conclusion: Breaking generational cycles of poverty takes more than personal success—it calls for a thoughtful, consistent plan that supports long-term financial stability. It means building habits, systems, and knowledge that can be passed down and adapted over time. This kind of approach helps families stay strong even when life is uncertain. When done with care and purpose, it can shift the direction of not just one life, but many.

The Pursuit of Ownership: Aaliyah's Journey from Renting to Owning 05/15/2025

The Pursuit of Ownership: Aaliyah's Journey from Renting to Owning Struggling to escape the rent cycle while everything around you keeps getting more expensive?

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, this episode shows how structure, grit, and belief can change your future—one document at a time. Quotes: "I want to call it a generational curse, but breaking out of the generational norms we have, like my mother's mother who didn't own anything, allows us to branch out into something different and have something that's mine." — Aaliyah Hackney "Right now, I'm living in something that's not even mine. I don't own anything, so maybe I should work on owning something." — Aaliyah Hackney "I don't like wasting time, so let me make sure I don't.
