As a player on the elite Michigan State University basketball team, Mat Ishbia learned firsthand how great teamwork brought in the wins—and TWO back-to-back National Championships! Now, he’s brought that same mentality to United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) as the CEO and President. For part three of his donothing Wisdom Series, Mat Ishbia and I talk about why teamwork is everything at a successful company. Hear his advice on building and supporting a business where employees and leaders thrive by working together. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why accountability is crucial to being a team player
• How to create a supportive culture
• What Mat looks for while hiring new team members
• Why everyone can be a leader at their company
• How leaders can develop new leaders
• What it means to “coach people up”
• Why UWM are more than friends—they’re family
• How to get a win every day
• Why we need to embrace the underdog
• The importance of being true to who you are as a team player
• Why we need to embrace the journey no matter where it leads
• And so much more!
