The Art of SBA Lending Podcast is back this week with a new episode full of big ideas, fresh perspectives, and one (more) especially bold opinion from Ray.

Join Ray and an expert panel of contributors as they explore the top trending topics in the SBA industry right now:

• The "big fish" trend—how top lenders are taking over more of the SBA market, and what that means for small-midsized shops

• How lenders approach the SOP's grey areas—practical tips for new and experienced lenders

• Ray's proposal to eliminate the all available collateral rule—why it makes sense, and how it will grow the program.

This week's panel of Art of SBA Contributors includes:

🎙️ Bob Coleman - Founder of The Coleman Report 🎙️ Brian Carlson - Managing Director at Mission Valley Bank 🎙️ Darren Davis - President of SBA Lending at Colony Bank

Tune in for an insightful conversation on how the industry is evolving, how to navigate its current position, and where it's headed next.
