This week's episode features Ryan Whitfield, who spent a decade as a pastor before transitioning into the mortgage industry. Ryan shares how his background in building trust and connecting with people became the foundation of his lending business. 

From struggling with internet leads to building a referral based model around first time homebuyers, Ryan offers a refreshing perspective on partnership, family, and finding your true value add. 

???? Key Takeaways:

• How his previous careers became the bridge to successful lending.
• The difference between a vendor with the lowest rate and a true mortgage partner.
• Why consistency and communication matter more to partners than gifts or gimmicks .
• The importance of scaling your team to buy back your time and protect family priorities.

???? Golden Nugget:

"If your greatest value add is the lowest rate, then you better be committed to having the lowest rate in your town. Otherwise, figure out what your value actually is."
