What if the most scalable way to grow your mortgage business isn’t more partners—but more ownership?
In this episode, I sit down with Greg Williamson—a broker, entrepreneur, and former tech exec—who’s building a mortgage business from scratch after selling multiple companies.
Greg is making a $150K bet on a new model that’s less reliant on realtors and more focused on long-term client relationships and inbound lead generation.
If you want more control, more leverage, and fewer bottlenecks in your business, this one’s for you.
We’ll cover:
- Leaving Tech to Start Fresh – Why Greg walked away from Finmo and Lendesk to return to full-time brokering.
- The Ownwell Math – How he plans to turn a $150K ad spend into a scalable mortgage business.
- The “No Bank Penalties” Hook – The message that’s winning client trust before they ever talk to their bank.
- Database-Driven Deals – Why Greg is building a 25,000-person database—and how he’s nurturing it with content.
- Realtor Value Without Begging – A strategy to get agents referring without ever asking for business.

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.
