I Love Mortgage Brokering

When the restaurant industry shut down in 2020, Jason Small pivoted—hard. With zero experience and a license freshly printed, he entered the mortgage world during one of the most chaotic economic periods in recent memory. Today, he's on track for 75+ deals this year, has doubled his business two years in a row, and—most impressively—helped co-create a lean, scalable operations model with two other brokers from across the country. In this episode, Jason breaks down how they built a shared infrastructure, hired a full-time underwriter, and standardized their systems to deliver high-touch service while freeing up time for life (and vacations!). This is a behind-the-scenes blueprint for sustainable growth—and a must-listen for any service-based entrepreneur looking to scale smart, not just fast.
