Description

This channel is designed to educate, motivate, entertain and inspire. Basically, our content is “all the sh*t they didn’t teach us in school”.

Born from the success of the “The Loan Officer Podcast”, this channel gives me, Dustin Owen (DO), the platform to teach everything I have been fortunate to learn about business, sales, the mortgage industry, personal finance, entrepreneurship, real estate investing plus so much more - All because in 2004 I switched careers and became a mortgage loan originator (Loan Officer).

The stories told and lessons taught come from my 20+ year career which has been filled with crazy amounts of success and even more inevitable failures.

Our mission is to invite you into the room where it happens. We strive to teach you how to create opportunities even when it can be a struggle to get your foot in the door.

While there is content geared specifically towards mortgage professionals, the majority of what we produce will encapsulate the world of personal finance, sales training, real estate investing best practices, homebuying tips, business advice and just about anything else “adults” are supposed to know.
