I remember that for so many years with Fox 4, I would cover Texas/OU weekend. I go to the bars and talk to fans from both teams. But I don't think I knew how big it was in terms of the enormous number of fans descending on Dallas from all over the country. My next guest knows that very well. Doug Rice is on the board of the Texas Exes Dallas Chapter.

In this latest episode of The Black Lotus Podcast, Josiah hosts Captain Lemuel, who is the representative of the Dallas Chapter of the Israel United in Christ Church (IUIC). IUIC identifies itself as a faith-based organization dedicated to imparting the message of repentance from sin according to biblical teachings to our worldwide community, which has been dispersed due to their disobedience to God's commandments. This conversation delved deeply into the challenges confronting Black society and the issues plaguing our community. The episode commenced by exploring the IUIC's mission and its commendable community-focused endeavors. As we progressed through the discussion, we touched upon the hurdles faced by the organization in disseminating its message and delved into the struggles Black individuals encounter when encountering faiths different from their own. Furthermore, we examined the Church's involvement in social justice initiatives, notably one that strives to combat youth crime within the Black community. Ultimately, our conversation revolved around a forward-looking vision for the Black Community, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration to collectively address the issues we face. This was a great and informative conversation, and you are guaranteed to learn something new from it. And as we always say, as long as y'all show love, we'll stay consistent.

This week on the show we have David Truesdale, who spent almost 28 years working for the Department of the Navy as a Special Agent in the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). Even though a “civilian” technically, he was involved in 2 deployments (Iraqi and Afghanistan) and lead troops in combat settings. Upon his retirement from the Department of the Navy, David was working to reintegrate back into “normal” life but was facing some difficulties. Through his contact with several veteran support groups, and yoga (his wife had been a long-time yoga instructor), he found his way to healing. As David explains in the show, a big part of his journey has been yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. With the support and urging from his wife, he eventually became certified in several modalities and is now a Certified Warrior Yoga Teacher (C-WYT), a Warriors at Ease (WAE) Certified Teacher, and a Level 2 Integrative Restoration (iRest) Meditation Teacher. He is also a member of the Save a Warrior (SAW) Cohort 063 and is a founder and Board member (along with his wife) of the Warrior Spirit Project (WSP), a non-profit that provides free trauma informed yoga and meditation instruction to veterans and first responders. He is also a member of the Dallas Chapter of MVP. We know you will enjoy this one. Thank you David for being on the show!Emma & Bruce

Sal Ali, Director at InstaMortgage, has been working in the mortgage industry since he was 23 years old. Upon being offered a job at his brother's brokerage, he entered the wholesale world.  Today, Sal is a top-three originator for VA loans and VA IRRRL products in the country. Formally known as Arcus Lending, InstaMortgage recently ranked as one of Inc. 500's Brokers of the Year and Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America, number 110 on the 2021 North America Technology Fast 500, and the fastest-growing private company in 2021 by the Silicon Valley Business Journal. It was started by Shashank Shekhar during the 'dark times' of the mortgage industry - 2008 - and presently provides services to over twenty-five states. What is Sal's secret to success? “Time, patience, and risk. You have to take the risk,” Sal says. Investing in yourself and your capabilities, along with well-planned processes and strategies, are the keys. Initially, Sal used direct mail to build his client base, and then he kept scaling what worked. In lieu of selling, he demonstrates his abilities and discusses the borrower's central plan. Three referrals should result from every closed deal. “You gotta be timely.” Always remain upfront and transparent with a borrower if a problem arises, such as an underwriting issue. “If they don't qualify, you have to pick up the phone and call them. Don't take it on yourself; reach out to your resources and be upfront with who you're working with.” Sal also reaches out to real estate agents to offer his expertise on a specific product. “Send me your VA business, and I will show you what I can do for you.”  Establishing quarterly benchmarks, and having the right technology in place, including lead generation systems and LOS, is paramount. Choosing the right technology stack can have a significant ROI, but it's best to start small and grow it over time. In each quarter, Sal has improved one efficiency, mostly technology. “It's important when you invest in the technology that you build it out to what you want.” With Shashank, he has developed a new AI assistant, Rachel, to help answer mortgage questions and locate client files. She is the first AI assistant in the mortgage industry. What are Sal's predictions for the mortgage market in 2022? “The same wave that happened in 2017 is happening now - the refi boom is gone, and it's now a purchase market. There's always going to be a niche product no matter what the market.” When Sal isn't closing loans, he serves as the Education Chair for the Dallas Chapter of the VA Real Estate Professionals, educating real estate agents and borrowers on the VA product.  This episode is sponsored by AFR Wholesale.
