Welcome to Episode 19 of The Growth Mindset Podcast with your hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle! In this episode, we sit down with Michael Matejka, National Business Development Manager at Crown Home Mortgage, to dive into what it really means to build a business through giving.

Mike is the driving force behind Crown’s expansion efforts—he’s the guy opening new offices, managing mergers and acquisitions, creating onboarding systems, and building retention strategies that actually work. But here’s the kicker: Mike’s core strategy isn’t about hard sales—it’s about giving. Giving support. Giving opportunity. Giving value. And he’s here to break it all down for you.

If you’re a loan officer, team leader, or anyone in the mortgage or real estate space looking to scale with purpose and people-first strategies, this episode is for you. Mike shares the systems, mindsets, and behind-the-scenes insights that make Crown one of the fastest-growing mortgage platforms in the country.

In this exciting new episode of The Growth Mindset Podcast, hosts Rick Riddle and Adam Crosley sit down with Paul Abraham, CEO & Owner of LocalLender, to dive deep into what it means to truly "hunt like you are hungry" in today’s mortgage industry.

Paul shares his powerful philosophy on working with loan officers instead of against them—building a strong network through support, purchase leads, and true collaboration with realtors. As the largest USDA lender in Georgia, LocalLender has created a proven system to empower loan officers with the tools they need to grow their business and close more deals.

You’ll hear about Paul’s mission to serve first-time homebuyers, veterans, and FHA/VA borrowers with credit scores down to 600, all while leading the charge in government-backed lending. Don’t miss Paul’s breakdown of his innovative "Good Name" program, which helps borrowers who once couldn’t qualify finally get into a home.

💡 If you're in lending, real estate, or just starting your homeownership journey—this episode is pure gold.
