Leadership, Legacy & the Power of Being Remarkable – Featuring Laura Brandao
In this must-listen episode of Minds of Mortgage, host Kelly Yale sits down with the unstoppable Laura Brandao, CEO of Lighthouse Advisors, powerhouse speaker, and fierce advocate for the mortgage industry. Together, they dive into what it takes to lead, inspire, and make waves in a business that doesn’t like change.
Laura opens up with her incredible origin story—starting with a telemarketing job at just 21 and quickly transforming into a meteoric rise driven by curiosity, grit, and a game-changing moment of initiative that redefined her future.
From there, the conversation gets deeply personal as Laura reflects on the pivotal role mentorship played in her career, especially the influence of a trailblazing woman who helped shape her into the leader she is today. It’s a compelling look at how knowledge, encouragement, and tough love can turn potential into power.
Kelly and Laura also highlight women’s leadership in mortgage: how far we’ve come, what still needs to change, and why visibility and mentorship are the keys to unlocking the next generation of female executives.
The episode wraps with gold for anyone navigating today’s unpredictable market. Laura shares her strategy for thriving right now: stop chasing the past, lean into tech, nurture your network, and above all, be remarkable—deliver such value that people can’t help but recommend you.
