Episode 587
Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.
In this episode, Carl sits down with Kevin Gillespie to unpack the five levels of leadership and authority that actually move teams forward: confidence, discipline, leadership, gratitude, and enjoyment.
You will hear how real confidence is a steady presence rather than bravado, why discipline beats motivation when the day gets messy, and how gratitude keeps you centered so you can lead with clarity even in tough markets.
Carl and Kevin share practical ways to build joyful cultures that attract talent, turn daily habits into long-term wins, learn faster from hard seasons, and surround yourself with people and rooms that raise your standard.
They close with simple steps to model calm, celebrate other people’s wins as your own, and use authentic enjoyment to make followership the natural outcome of how you show up.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
