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.”
