Episode 179

I sat down with Casey O'Toole, founder of Linkybot, and… let's be honest, I went off. After what Linkybot has pulled off for me, can you blame me?

Here's what's happened in just 3 weeks:

• 12 booked appointments
• One loan already closed
• Direct access to high-level CEOs and industry leaders
• New relationships that are paving the way for massive opportunities

This conversation dives into why Linkybot is a genuine game changer and how it's reshaping the way I create meaningful connections.

Episode 178

In this episode, I sit down with San Antonio loan officer Jon Tober, who grew his production by 35% simply by running a weekly book club for real estate agents. He shares the full playbook: what works, what doesn't, and how you can start a book club that strengthens relationships, builds authority, and creates consistent referral flow.

You'll learn:

• How Jon launched his book club
• The format he uses to keep engagement high
• The key takeaways from 12 months of hosting
• Practical steps to start your own agent book club

A simple idea, executed consistently — and the results speak for themselves.

In this powerful conclusion to our 3-part series, Megan Anderson—formerly of MBS Highway—shares what she discovered after spending a full year living life on the road in a van.

We talk about:

• The surprising truths she uncovered about herself

This isn't just about travel or adventure—it's about transformation. And Megan delivers wisdom that every ambitious professional needs to hear.

Episode 175

In this powerhouse episode, I sit down with the one and only Barry Habib — market expert, founder of MBS Highway, and board member at Fannie Mae. Barry shares his expert insights on where mortgage rates are headed, what's really driving the Fed's decisions, and how these shifts will shape the housing and lending landscape.

We also dive into Barry's work at Fannie Mae, where he's helping shape the future of housing finance, and his outlook on why today's loan officers—those still standing—are perfectly positioned for massive success in the coming cycle.
