What’s in Barry Habib’s Crystal Ball for 2025

Barry Habib is back—the only guest to appear every season of *Batting 1,000*. He’s the industry’s most trusted market voice, credited with guiding lenders through COVID-19’s margin call crisis and winning the Crystal Ball Award a record four times.

  • Why investment loans are a huge opportunity
  • A hidden provision in the Big Beautiful Bill borrowers will love
  • Why trust is more valuable than ever in the AI era
  • The exact playbook top LOs are running right now
  • And what beating cancer taught Barry about happiness
