What if you could build a thriving mortgage business without being tied to your desk—or even your address?
This is a repost from episode 544, where I sat down with Sara Keller from Guild Mortgage, who funds over 200 mortgages a year while living and working on the road in her van.
We break down how she told her referral partners, the tech stack that keeps her business humming from anywhere, and how she continues to grow a referral-based business while chasing adventure.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can build a business that fits your life—not the other way around—this episode will show you how.
What We Cover:
- Breaking the News – How Sara told her referral partners she was hitting the road—and why they supported her.
- Growing Referrals While Traveling – The strategies that keep her pipeline full while living on the road.
- Essential Tech Stack – Tools she uses daily, including how Starlink changed her business.
- Communication Systems – Her Monday call routine and Thursday update emails that keep clients and partners connected.
- Balancing Work and Adventure – The realities of van life while running a high-volume mortgage business.
You don’t have to choose between freedom and success. With the right systems and mindset, you can have both.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. 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.
