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. 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.”
