On the very first episode of MISMO Mic’d Up, host Brian Vieaux, President of MISMO, sits down with long-time MISMO champion Jay Arneja of nCino to unpack why MISMO is still the “hidden gem” of the mortgage industry.

Jay traces her MISMO journey back to 2007–2008, when the industry was just starting to document eSign, MERS, and early digital workflows. She explains how MISMO standards quietly power everything from loan origination through closing and servicing—and why the Life of Loan resource and MISMO Glossary should be bookmarked for every new hire in mortgage.

Brian and Jay also look ahead to the top of the funnel: how point-of-sale platforms, consumer-permissioned data, and mobile-first experiences are reshaping when and how standards should start—well before a 1003 is ever completed.

They close with a clear call to action:
👉 Get involved in MISMO workgroups.
👉 Use MISMO resources to train your teams.
👉 Bring your real-world problems into the standards process.

This is your front-row seat to how standards are built by the industry, for the industry—and why participation matters now more than ever.
