What if the fastest way to grow your mortgage business isn’t learning more—but finally fixing what’s holding you back?

Most mortgage events are packed with speakers who don’t broker and ideas you’ll never use. That’s why we created Broker Talks—a different kind of event built by brokers, for brokers.

In this episode, I walk through the real reason we launched Broker Talks, the framework that guides it, and how this format is helping brokers solve their #1 constraint—whether it’s leads, people, or process.

If you’re stuck between $10M and $15M—or just want better ideas from people in the trenches—this is the event (and the episode) for you.

We’ll cover:

• Why Traditional Conferences Fail – The problem with speaker-led events (and why we flipped the script).
• The Triangle Framework – The simple tool we use to diagnose any broker bottleneck fast.
• Real Talk from Real Brokers – Why Broker Talks is built on peer sharing, not stage presentations.
• Idea Babies and Table Wins – How collaboration creates breakthroughs you won’t get from keynotes.
• What Happens in the Room – Why just being there puts you ahead of 90% of brokers.

You don’t need another conference—you need a solution. Broker Talks is where serious brokers go to solve real problems, together.

What if the pressure to be the expert for everyone is what’s holding you back the most?

Alisha Manning spent years behind the scenes underwriting over a billion dollars in mortgages for top producers—until burnout and addiction forced her to hit pause and rebuild everything.

In this honest, powerful episode, she shares how working 12+ hour days led to personal collapse—and how recovery, clarity, and better systems helped her come back stronger as a broker running her own business.

If you’ve been pushing too hard for too long, this is your permission to reset.

What We Cover:

• Templates That Scale – How email templates and simple systems protect your time and energy.
• Docs Up Front, No Apologies – Why setting expectations early builds trust and filters in better clients.
• The Real Cost of Hustle – Alisha’s story of overwork, burnout, and a hidden gambling addiction.
• Recovery Habits That Work – How daily routines and gratitude helped her rebuild her life and business.
• Leading with Honesty – Why she now builds her business on transparency—and why clients love it.

Being the expert doesn’t mean doing it all. Boundaries, systems, and honesty are what make this business sustainable—and worth building.

What if the biggest threat to your long-term success is the way you’re prioritizing today?

In this episode, I break down a powerful mental trap called hyperbolic discounting— a hidden habit where we consistently choose short-term rewards over long-term gains.

From skipping important business projects to clients picking bad mortgage terms for a lower rate today, this bias shows up everywhere. I’ll share what it is, how to spot it, and what I personally do to protect future Scott from present Scott’s worst instincts.

What We Cover:

• Why We Set Big Goals and Still Procrastinate – How your brain tricks you into short-term decisions that hurt your future.
• Mortgage Clients Do This Too – The psychology behind picking a bad mortgage to save a few bucks now.
• The Homer Simpson Problem – Why "future you" keeps getting stuck cleaning up "current you’s" mess.
• My 23-Year Vision Trick – How visualizing my 70-year-old self helps me stay focused today.
• How to Override the Bias – A simple morning routine that changed how I work, think, and plan.

You don’t have to be perfect— you just have to be intentional. Start showing up for your future self today, and you’ll thank yourself tomorrow.
