🚀 What does it take to build a national mortgage powerhouse from the ground up? And how does emotional intelligence play a role in leadership, scaling, and navigating disruption?

In this episode of EQ U, we sit down with David Silverman, CEO of NFM Lending and ChoiceCenter LV127 graduate, to dive into the EQ principles that helped him grow a small office into a thriving company with over 1,100 employees doing business in 49 states. In 2022, NFM Lending achieved a total loan volume of $6,997,853,234, closing 19,548 loans, and was ranked as the 20th largest home lender by Mortgage Executive Magazine.

From leading through industry shifts to building a high-trust corporate culture, David shares hard-earned leadership insights that apply to entrepreneurs, executives, and anyone looking to level up in business and life.

Plus, he leaves listeners with an EQ Stretch Challenge—a 30-day mental and physical discipline that could transform the way you show up in the world.
