Episode 592 Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl shares a powerful perspective that every loan officer needs to hear. He explains why building a thriving mortgage business is actually a smarter and more profitable path than owning a franchise like McDonald's. He compares the $2 million investment it takes to open a single McDonald's location to the near-zero startup cost of being a loan officer and reveals how a handful of well-managed closings each month can outpace what most franchise owners earn in a year. Carl breaks down the real numbers, lifestyle freedom, and scalability that make the mortgage business such an incredible opportunity when you follow the right systems. He also gives a nod to Kevin Gillespie and the Leadership Academy for inspiring this powerful mindset shift that could change how you see your own business. If you're tired of thinking you need a massive investment to make a great living, this episode will open your eyes to just how close you already are to building your own McDonald's-level success without the grease traps or name tags.

How Business Owners Can Scale and Thrive in the Age of AI: Insights from Dan GoodsteinIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Dan Goodstein, Founder of The Business Therapist and President of IRPA AI, to explore how business owners can scale smarter and thrive amid rapid technological change. With years of experience in tech, marketing, media, and coaching, Dan offers practical advice on leveraging AI, building community, and creating systems that support sustainable growth in today's fast-paced environment.Scaling Smarter in the AI EraDan emphasizes that too many business owners are working in their businesses rather than on them. He highlights the importance of stepping back, joining peer communities, and embracing outside accountability through coaching or masterminds. These practices create space for strategy, innovation, and balance—especially critical as AI reshapes how we work.AI, he explains, is now leveling the playing field for small and midsize businesses, giving them access to tools once reserved for large corporations. From AI-driven sales assistants to automated lead generation and CRM integrations, these technologies help streamline operations, enhance personalization, and improve ROI. Dan also encourages owners to adopt a “pilot-first” approach—testing tools on a small scale before company-wide implementation to ensure measurable results.Finally, Dan shares actionable strategies for using AI in sales, from automating outreach to personalizing follow-ups, while maintaining the human connection that drives lasting relationships. His advice is clear: start small, stay consistent, and focus on impact over volume. AI isn't about replacing people—it's about empowering them to spend more time on high-value, strategic work.About Dan GoodsteinDan Goodstein is the Founder of The Business Therapist, a platform helping entrepreneurs build scalable, resilient companies through coaching, peer networks, and strategic support. He also serves as President of IRPA AI, a global association focused on intelligent automation and digital transformation. Dan is the host of The Digital Leader Show and a frequent speaker on AI, business growth, and leadership innovation.About The Business TherapistThe Business Therapist provides business owners with the community, coaching, and resources they need to scale sustainably. Through mastermind groups, advisory programs, and peer-to-peer learning, the organization helps leaders step back from daily operations to focus on vision, systems, and growth strategy.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Business Therapist WebsiteIRPA AI WebsiteDan Goodstein LinkedIn ProfileKey Episode HighlightsWhy every business owner needs community and strategy days.How AI tools are helping small businesses compete with large enterprises.Actionable ways to use AI in sales and marketing.Tips for choosing and integrating AI technologies effectively.The importance of focusing on sustainability, not just speed, in scaling.ConclusionDan Goodstein's message is simple but powerful: you can't scale by doing more—you scale by doing smarter. By stepping back, building support systems, and embracing AI-driven tools, business owners can transform the way they grow and operate. The future belongs to leaders...

Hometown Radio 10/15/25 6p: Downtown business owners talk about the challenge they face

Episode 591 Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this insightful episode, Carl sits down with top-producing loan officer Mike Steplowski from Mount Juliet, Tennessee, to uncover how his team is using AI to clear underwriting conditions faster than ever. Mike shares how his crew leverages a free AI tool called Perplexity to instantly find answers straight from agency guidelines, cutting out the hours of manual searching and reducing interruptions so everyone stays focused on closing loans. Carl and Mike break down how this simple shift has streamlined communication, boosted productivity, and helped his team close 13 loans in a single month while freeing Mike from being the “easy button” for every question. They also touch on how sticking to the basics of the Daily Success Plan continues to fuel steady, referral-based growth even in a changing market. This episode is a great reminder that technology doesn't replace good habits, it amplifies them. When your team knows where to find answers, you stay focused on what really moves the needle: conversations, closings, and client relationships.

Heading into tax season unprepared can be costly—missed deductions, lost paperwork, and sometimes, a surprise check to the IRS. But it doesn't have to be that way! In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., shares the ultimate year-end checklist every business owner needs to save on taxes, protect their business, and walk confidently into tax season. From organizing your paperwork to making smart tax moves and maximizing personal financial strategies, Danielle gives you practical steps you can take before December 31st that can make a big difference in the new year. Key Takeaways:  Get Your Paperwork in Order: Before December 31st, ensure all your partnership agreements, legal documents, and W9s are signed, stored, and ready. It'll save you major headaches during tax season. Use the January 1st Advantage: The first of the year is the best time to make big structural changes, like starting an LLC, switching payroll providers, or filing for S Corp status. This avoids partial-year filings and confusion. Pay Your Kids (Properly!): You can pay your children for legitimate work in your business and enjoy tax advantages while teaching them financial responsibility. Take Advantage of Accountable Plans: Reimburse yourself consistently for things like your home office and cell phone. It's an important benefit that shouldn't be skipped, even in slower years. Review Personal Tax Opportunities: Before year-end, check your 529 plans, HSA, and FSA balances and make contributions to maximize your deductions and savings. Max Out Retirement Contributions: Don't forget to fund your retirement plan! Whether it's a 401(k), SEP IRA, or solo 401(k), you're building wealth beyond your business. Meet with Your Tax Accountant Early: Schedule a pre-tax-season check-in to confirm your estimated payments, review your strategy, and avoid surprise penalties. Don't Spend Money Just to Save on Taxes: Avoid the trap of prepaying expenses or buying things you don't need. Focus on building a healthy, sustainable, profitable business instead.
