Today's Dropping Bombs episode is a return visit from Mike Kortas, the man who went from homeless at 18 to building the #1 mortgage brokerage in the country.

Mike breaks down how NEXA Lending dominates the mortgage industry, why the broker model is crushing the big banks, and the bold moves he's making right now while everyone else plays it safe — including an industry-first move that will pay loan officers residual income on their own loans, something that's never been done before.

If you've got a mortgage or real estate license and you're not making the money you should be, this episode is for you. And if you don't have one yet, you'll want one by the time this is over.
