In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, I’m pulling back the curtain on everything I’ve learned building BluMortgage—and what I’d do differently if I were starting from scratch today.

I’m walking you through how I’d think about: → Building a simple, addictive product → Structuring a freemium model → Leveraging referrals over paid ads → Using AI (the right way) → And why simplicity always wins

Whether you’re in mortgage tech or any kind of SaaS, this episode will give you a fresh framework to think about how to build and scale your next product.
