In this episode of The MLO Project, host Michael sits down with Bryce Gonser, a mortgage powerhouse out of Eagle, Idaho, who closed over 300 loans and $130 million in volume last year. But Bryce didn’t start in lending—he started as a performance coach, and he’s brought that same mindset into building a scalable, relationship-driven mortgage business.
Bryce shares how he went all-in during the COVID years by doubling down on agent relationships, mastering proactive communication, and building a repeatable, high-trust process that delivers results.
He also opens up about his leadership approach—personal development, real coaching, and helping his team define and reach their “desired future.”
Whether you’re a new LO or a veteran looking to level up, this episode is packed with real strategies and insights.
Hit play to learn from one of the best—and find out how to connect with Bryce for personalized consultation.
