In 2012, I was working 70+ hours a week and barely funding three to four loans a month. 

‍

I was burned out physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

‍

Around that same time, I took what was supposed to be a much-needed “vacation” with my then-girlfriend (now my wife) to Scottsdale, Arizona. 

‍

I brought my two monitors with me (ugh, what a dorky move) and worked out of the hotel room for four straight days.

‍

Onboarding new leads.

Taking applications.

Reviewing applications.

Issuing pre-approvals.

Updating pre-approvals.

Managing the pipeline.

Battling processors.

Battling underwriters.

‍

Crying in the shower with my clothes on… just kidding. 

‍

But not really.

‍

I was exhausted and stuck.

‍

It was during that season that I kept hearing about a book called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, which has sold over 100 million copies worldwide.

‍

One concept from that book hit me like a ton of bricks: masterminds.

‍

Hill talks about the importance of intentionally placing yourself in rooms where thinking is elevated, perspective is expanded, and belief is rebuilt, not in isolation, but in proximity to others who are growing.

‍

So that summer, I scratched and clawed to invest in a ticket to attend the Mortgage Mastermind Summit in Las Vegas.

‍

Speaker after speaker took the stage.

‍

Some spoke only in generalities.

‍

Some were complete bullshitters.

‍

Some talked about being divorced multiple times (no judgment, but…).

‍

Some just looked 60 years old at 40.

‍

And then two guys walked on stage: Todd Scrima and Josh Sigman (my friends to this day).

‍

They didn’t hype.

They didn’t posture.

They didn’t speak in theory.

‍

They spoke the mortgage holy gospel on exactly how to make $1M a year working 40 hours a week.

‍

I was hooked.

‍

That one event didn’t just change my business.

It changed the trajectory of my life.

‍

Because here’s what I eventually realized: the real game isn’t just production. 

‍

It’s performance across the board.

‍

At GrowthCon, we operate from one core belief: 

‍

If you’re not winning at everything, you’re not winning at anything.

‍

That’s why Spring GrowthCon is the only event in the mortgage industry intentionally built around PEMS:

‍

Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual.

‍

Then, layered on top of that foundation, we focus on MSOFs:

‍

Marketing, Sales, Operations, and Finance.

‍

Here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud: 

‍

You can’t sustainably grow your MSOFs if your PEMS are broken. 

‍

And you can’t fully express your PEMS if your MSOFs are sloppy.

‍

GrowthCon fuses both.

‍

Most industry events recycle the same ideas, the same speakers, and the same playbooks. 

‍

GrowthCon doesn’t, and that’s why it’s widely considered the TOP event in all of mortgage. 

‍

You’ll hear from non-industry entrepreneurs who think differently and expose blind spots we miss. 

‍

You’ll learn from top-producing mortgage professionals actively winning right now. 

‍

And you’ll hear from experts focused on leadership, performance, and human optimization, not just loans.

‍

That combination is rare. 

‍

And it’s why people leave saying, “This wasn’t a conference. It was a reset.”

‍

This room is built for Residential Loan Officers who want to stay dangerous, emerging leaders such as Branch, Regional, and Divisional Managers, and company leaders who care about results and people.

‍

If you’re looking to not just have your biggest years, but your best years, this is it. 

‍

One important heads-up: 

‍

Spring ‘26 GrowthCon is expected to sell out within 90 days. 

‍

Do. Not. Wait.

I know there will be a day you’ll look back and say: “...this one event changed my life.”
