This week on The Art of SBA Lending, Ray Drew sits down with David Tinsley of Lenders Cooperative to unravel the shifting landscape of SBA lending and the role of technology and LSPs in shaping its future. Recorded live from the MALC conference, they dive into the buzz surrounding the unannounced new SOP and what it means for lenders. From the challenges of scaling an SBA division to the surprising dominance of AI in industry conversations, Ray and David explore how to navigate growth, manage risk, and foster innovation — "throwing the whole playbook out". They also tackle the ongoing debate of in-house operations versus leveraging Lender Service Providers (LSPs).

Florian and Esther welcome Slator's Anna Wyndham and Alex Edwards to SlatorPod to explain the rationale behind the new industry framework introduced in the Slator 2025 Language Industry Market Report.Drawing from the flagship report and echoing the buzz of SlatorCon London, the team explains why the traditional labels, Language Service Providers (LSPs) and Translation Management Systems (TMSs), no longer capture the scope and complexity of the evolving market. Instead, Slator has introduced two new terms: Language Solutions Integrators (LSIs) and Language Technology Platforms (LTPs).Anna defines LTPs as pure-play technology providers that develop language tools, applications, orchestration platforms, and AI models. LSIs, she explains, are organizations whose core offering is to deliver fit-for-purpose multilingual content solutions by integrating language technology and AI with human experts as part of a fully managed solution.Esther confirms early advisory adoption of the terms, noting investor interest in clearer tech-service distinctions. Alex adds that automatic dubbing startups tend to fit LTPs better than LSPs, as they often operate self-serve AI platforms.Anna clarifies that big tech players like OpenAI and Google are excluded from the market sizing as they are foundational enablers, not language-focused businesses. The team also discusses why the term “AI” was excluded from the new categories as it may become as ubiquitous as “Cloud”.To close, Anna points out that LSIs currently capture the bigger portion of the total addressable market (TAM). The team sees a strong demand for expert-in-the-loop services and growing LTP–LSI partnerships.

THE MBFS COO and resident SBA expert joins Mark today to try to make sense of the 2025 regulatory chaos. What's going on with the SBA? What changes are afoot? Are they good or bad for credit unions?IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro(01:48) Jeff Lyons' professional background and what has happened with SBA with the onset of the new administration(05:30) Discussion of lending fees and zero subsidy (08:00) Discussion of PPP Loans and non-bank, non-regulated lenders, delinquencies, and selling off SBA loans for a profit(15:49) Discussion of the stability of the SBA in uncertain times and what MBFS can do for a credit union to facilitate the SBA process(20:44) Jeff shares why SBA is beneficial for your credit unionKEY TAKEAWAYS: The SBA is shifting back to pre-COVID operations, reinstating previously waived borrower lending fees. This change aims to stabilize the SBA's finances, which had gone into negative cash flow due to fee eliminations during the pandemic.The new SBA Administrator, Kelly Loeffler, has brought staff back to in-person work and announced plans to streamline SBA operations. However, concrete changes in process efficiency are still pending, and a significant workforce reduction (about 43%) is underway to adjust for post-PPP staffing levels.Due to higher delinquency rates and lax underwriting standards in the SBA loan portfolio, non-bank fintech lenders are under increased scrutiny. As a result, future non-bank SBA lending licenses are unlikely, reinforcing the SBA's preference for traditional, regulated lenders like credit unions.Lender Service Providers (LSPs) like MBFS offer valuable assistance navigating the SBA loan process, but lenders must remain actively involved. LSPs can provide expertise and guidance to credit unions, helping them understand the requirements and streamline the application. However, the responsibility for the member relationship, underwriting, and overall loan management ultimately rests with the lending institution.RESOURCE LINKS: Mark Ritter - WebsiteMark Ritter - LinkedInJeff Lyons - LinkedInBIOGRAPHY: MBFS provides credit unions with all aspects of business lending services. Nu Direction Lending is an online financial technology company based in Feasterville-Trevose Pa. The company provides funding from $25,000 to $500,000 directly to small businesses through an automated lending platform.

This week we sit down with Matt Rasmussen, Founder and CEO of ModeOne, to dive into the evolving challenges and solutions around mobile device discovery. What started as a frustration-fueled “passion project” has grown into a powerful, cloud-based legal tech tool that dramatically speeds up mobile data collections while safeguarding user privacy. Rasmussen brings over two decades of litigation tech experience, and his team is focused on automating the traditionally slow, invasive, and expensive process of mobile forensic collection.Matt shares the lightbulb moment that led to ModeOne's founding—after nearly being hit with a book by an executive unwilling to hand over their entire phone during an M&A data collection. That experience crystallized a need for a targeted, remote, and custodian-friendly solution. ModeOne's approach allows for precise data extraction, filtering out personal messages, and narrowing collection to relevant participants or timeframes—thereby reducing friction, legal risk, and cost. The tool shrinks a two-week process into a matter of hours and removes the need for shipping hardware or dispatching personnel.The conversation then turns to the power of cloud scalability and how ModeOne's architecture enables parallel processing of hundreds of phones simultaneously without ballooning costs. Matt recounts a case involving over 400 phones processed in just two weeks—compared to the seven-month timeline it would've required using traditional methods. He explains how operating directly on devices with lightweight agents and leveraging cloud resources allows them to outperform older queue-based systems and ensure defensibility through record-level audits.Beyond litigation, the use cases for ModeOne are growing fast, particularly in corporate compliance and legal holds. With recent updates from the DOJ and FTC increasing expectations for mobile data preservation, companies are now compelled to treat phones with the same seriousness as emails and cloud documents. ModeOne's ability to preserve data in a scalable, minimally invasive way makes it a key player in this regulatory shift. Rasmussen also highlights that while AI may not be the focus of this episode, ModeOne is quietly integrating features like sentiment analysis, emoji flagging, and communication mapping through a partnership with StreamView.As the episode wraps up, Rasmussen discusses the startup journey—from bootstrapping to being named Legal Tech Startup of the Year in 2024. While initial adoption faced the usual “wait-and-see” mentality common in legal tech, ModeOne is now working with several Fortune 10 companies, AMLaw 25 firms, and leading LSPs. Looking forward, Rasmussen predicts mobile data will only grow more central to investigations and legal matters. With privacy and policy changes ahead, ModeOne is doubling down on mobile—not diversifying away from it. As he puts it: “We're digging deep on phones.”Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript:

Adam Bittlingmayer is CEO and co-founder of ModelFront, a language services technology company striving to “make high-quality human translation radically more efficient” for large enterprises. The ModelFront API helps translators and language services agencies quickly determine the quality of machine-translated content, analyzing content segments for accuracy; with AI and human guidance, the technology's ability to “predict” quality continues to improve over time.  Adam is an industry expert on automated translation - before co-founding the leading provider of machine translation quality prediction, he worked at Google Translate as an engineer, and founded Machine Translate, the foundation for open information and community for machine translation. Google Translate “makes bad translation free,” he says, adding that because most people can't access translation the service is great for humanity, but not dependable for high-quality translation.  None of this is new to the language services industry, which has embraced machine translation from the outset. In this episode, Adam and I discuss AI, generative AI technologies like ChatGPT, and the technology's general unreadiness for quality translation right now. AI-powered technologies are clearly and quickly redefining our concept of the future – what has changed is how we in the industry think about quality and client expectations in relation to potential (or perceived) time- and cost savings.  Adam also lays out a framework to help you decide what type of translation method works best, based on the value and uniqueness of content. Content with the highest “value” impacts a company's revenue, brand reputation, and legal obligations and still requires human translation.  That need for quality will always be there, he says, even as the quality of AI translation improves. To keep up and stay relevant, the menu of services LSPs offer (and the methods they employ) will have to change, as the demand for services will likewise increase as the capacity to scale becomes greater.  Adam and I agree that there exist extremist viewpoints on whether technology will take over jobs from humans. To maintain a balanced discussion on the topic – he comes from the technological side and I come from the human side – we also agreed that ensuring the quality of any translation project currently requires both technology and humans.   Listen to the full episode to hear more from both perspectives and find out where they coalesce and collide. In addition, we discuss:  LangOps strategies for larger enterprises.  How language services agencies manage LangOps for SMEs.  The impact of technology on translation automation.  The role of ChatGPT in translations and confidentiality issues.  Best practices around hybrid approaches to translation.  New and changing translator skillsets.      Links:   Website: www.modelfront.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bittlingmayer/   Email: adam@modelfront.com  Connect with Wendy - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendypease/  Music: Fiddle-De-Dee by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com
