Podcast appearances and mentions of ginger bell

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Ginger Bell to dive into leadership, recruiting, and the power of building authentic relationships in the mortgage industry. We kick things off by reminiscing about the first time we met in person—a moment that felt like reconnecting with an old friend rather than a first-time introduction. From there, we unpack the importance of trust, consistency, and authenticity in business, exploring how these qualities shape both leadership and recruiting. Ginger shares insights from her career journey, offering valuable strategies for balancing professional and personal life, staying relevant in an ever-changing mortgage landscape, and the art of meaningful networking.

"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." - Heracles Great friends of The Culture Matters Podcast and co-authors of the new book Leadership Matters Ginger Bell and Fobby Naghmi joining us today to discuss their work.  Based around enhancing leadership skills, particularly within the mortgage and real estate spaces, Leadership Matters aims to help anyone in a leadership role or aspiring to achieve a leadership role with motivation, inspiration, and strategies to become the leader you want to be.  We feel extremely fortunate to have Ginger and Fobby on the show to give us a firsthand account of this amazing book.

This week on the Power House podcast, HousingWire president Diego Sanchez sits down with the co-authors of the recently published real estate and mortgage guidebook, “Leadership Matters.” Fobby is also the SVP of Homecomings Mortgage & Equity, and Ginger is the founder of Edumarketing. In today's episode, they talk about why top performers don't always make the best leaders, — especially in tough times — and discuss the critical role of training and communication in scaling leadership success across organizations. Here's what you'll learn: Leadership is fundamental in all aspects of life, not just professional ones. Leaders are forged in challenging times, not in easy ones. There is a leadership deficit in the mortgage industry. Top performers are not always effective leaders. Effective, prepared communication is key during times of change. Giving back to the community enhances leadership impact. Related to this episode: Edumarketing Ginger Bell | LinkedIn Fobby Naghmi | LinkedIn Homecomings HousingWire | YouTube Enjoy the episode!

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay.   In this episode, I interview Ginger Bell about the varying levels of video marketing services she provides mortgage professionals.  If you're unfamiliar with me, I've been a video guy since July 2, 2007. I forged a career out of video marketing, and in my opinion, there is no easier way to get going with video than what Ginger Bell offers.  She has put together the best turn-key system I've ever seen, and more importantly, it's a system that does everything right, from scripting to editing to distribution. Amazing.  I am WELL qualified to take on video marketing for myself and my daughters' new mortgage team, but after seeing what Ginger has going on it was an absolute no-brainer to hand over the reins to Ginger and her team.  Enjoy the podcast and get with Ginger immediately.   Schedule a one-on-one free coaching call, click here or visit DailySuccessPlan.com.

She has LOs lining up at the door (virtually, of course) to get her tips & tricks on how to utilize video in their mortgage marketing.  Just recently, Ginger and our founder here at Mortgage Marketing Animals, Carl White, released a book that they co-wrote together, called “Leadership Video Planner”, where loan officers can find topics relating to the mortgage industry and how to place that content on certain platforms for the best use. Right now, with a very minimal setup, you can start making videos using the topics that are found in the book, along with the confidence to overcome the challenge of self-doubt when creating them.   Today is the day to start making the best moves for your business.

Listen in to the #1 podcast for loan officers in the country, Loan Officer Freedom, and join me as I chat with a very good friend of mine who also happens to be an advisor here at The Mortgage Marketing Animals, Ginger Bell. Ginger and I recently co-wrote the book titled ‘Leadership Video Planner', which lays out the a-z's of how to make video, what to make videos about, and how to use those videos the most efficient way possible.  Within the pages of this book, we drop 52 ideas and topics for video creation. And as an act of coolness, we will even be sending you emails with examples of those ideas with purchase. Get your copy at www.LeadershipVideoPlanner.com.  Studies show that video has taken over the digital world by bringing celebrity status to those that use it in the simplest ways possible. Gone are the days of an elaborate studio, excessive makeup, or even a perfect script. It's all about being real, human, and who you are.  Video not only humanizes you, which is a large part of building relationships in the mortgage business, but it allows people to get to know you even though you don't know them (yet). You've got to tune in to hear why I feel this is one of the most powerful tools I've ever used and why I believe Ginger and her incredible knowledge is a gift to the mortgage industry.  Learn more about how you can use video in your marketing.

Do you have mean sisters? My sisters might not like this one! =) Do you think the grown ups kept or are keeping information from you? It's true. We talk about why. Key take aways; You can solve complex problems with simple tools. You don't have to practice being miserable. You get to decide who to trust. If you have the responsibility, you also have the authority. If you don't have the authority then you do not have the responsibility.
