What’s Working Now, What’s Just Noise

Episode 570

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.

In this episode, Carl breaks down what’s really working in mortgage marketing today—and what’s just a big ol’ distraction.

He shares five simple activities that continue to bring in real deals, including warm referrals, status update calls, daily prospecting, authentic personal branding, and smart follow-up automation.

Carl also calls out the things that aren’t moving the needle—like cold leads without a follow-up plan, overly self-centered social media posts, and unfinished funnel fantasies.

You’ll hear why conversations—not tech stacks—are the real key to closing more loans and why structure and consistency always beat out chasing shiny objects.

If you’re looking to simplify your strategy and get back to what actually grows your business, this episode is your roadmap.

Stick around to hear Carl’s personal invitation to a small-group mastermind where you’ll leave with a plan to double (or even triple) your closings.

Understanding the Fed: What Really Drives Interest Rates

Episode 568

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.

In this episode, your host, Carl White, is joined by industry leader Owen Lee to unravel the mystery behind the Federal Reserve, interest rate changes, and how those decisions are really made.

You’ll learn what the Fed’s dual mandate means (hint: it’s more than just “raise or lower rates”) and why no single person—including the Fed Chair—holds the power most people think they do.

Owen breaks down the Fed’s voting process, how the mechanics of interest rates work like fuel in the economic engine, and why inflation targets aren’t as simple as they sound.

You’ll also hear Carl’s take on why top producers don’t base their business success on what the Fed does—and how smart marketing trumps rate watching.

If you’ve ever been confused about the connection between Fed meetings and mortgage rates, this is the clarity-packed episode you’ve been waiting for.
