Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.

In this episode, Carl talks with loan officer Melissa Rishel about her inspiring leap from starting fresh in January to closing six loans this August. Melissa opens up about how she pushed through discouragement, leaned on her faith, and stuck with the daily plan that eventually opened the floodgates of new business.

You'll hear how one new agent relationship turned into a steady stream of deals, why calling on an agent's past clients became her secret weapon, and how she overcame call reluctance by simply showing up and making the calls. Melissa also shares the lessons she has learned about consistency, service, and keeping her pipeline full even after a big month.

If you have ever wondered how to go from zero traction to real momentum, this episode shows the exact steps Melissa followed and how you can put them to work in your business.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
