If you’ve been around the mortgage game long enough to remember when people still used fax machines, Greg Williamson has likely crossed your radar. He used to be a broker, then he got into broker training with 180 Degrees Coaching, then he co-founded Finmo in 2017, then he sold it to Lendesk in 2020.
Now he’s returned, launching a YouTube broker help series called the Inspired Founders Club (link).
Typically, I skim right past this sort of content—not because it lacks merit, but because there's so much of it out there, it's hard to keep up.
But I’ve got a soft spot for perceptive thinkers, and Williamson is a guy with more than a few spare brain cells. He's always been an engaging speaker, and the vids were free, so what the hell.
What was most impressive wasn’t his advice—there are educators in this business with more experience and success (we'll have an interview with a $350+ million producer/trainer for you soon).
It was more Williamson's willingness to showcase his journey and setbacks with a disarming honesty. We all have defeats, but few are open enough to let you learn from their mistakes in real-time. Williamson does that in a manner that's not contrived, with a humble sense of humour and in a way that inspires.
