Welcome back to The BDO Show—where loan closings get real, F reorgs get explained (sort of), and we finally give some love to the legal eagles!

Ever wonder what really happens once a loan hits the closing stage? Or why your attorney is suddenly talking about "F reorgs" like it's the latest dance craze?

This episode, we pull back the curtain on the lender-legal relationship with special guest Scott Oliver of Lewis Kappes. Join Emily Detour, Sterling Birdsong, and Ryan Kroge as they dive into:

• The lifecycle of a loan, from BDO hustle to the closing crunch
• When and how to get your legal team involved (and why earlier is always better)
• How much should a BDO be in the weeds of the closing process
• The mystery of the F reorg—is it genius or just billable hours?
• Attorney superpowers: When a single call can replace 20 frantic emails

Whether you're a BDO, closer, or just love a good SBA story, this episode is packed with insights and laughs!
