Building the Ultimate Loan Officer Coaching Community – with Scott Hudspeth
It’s here — the FIRST sponsored episode of Loan Officer Life, and we’re bringing the fire with none other than Scott Hudspeth, founder of MLO Live and host of the electric RETR Morning Show.
In just 90 days, Scott and I have gone from strangers to fast friends — texting, collaborating, and now, launching something truly game-changing for mortgage professionals.
This episode is jam-packed with takeaways for any Loan Officer ready to grow, scale, connect, and show up consistently with the right tools, coaching, community and accountability.
We kick things off talking about Scott’s wild journey — from closing 43 loans in one month, to growing a company from $130M to $3B, to now empowering hundreds of LOs through coaching and tech with RETR and MLO Live, the all-new community platform launching June 2nd.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
The origin story of MLO Live and how it’s built on abundance, not ego
🛠️ Why “data without action is noise” — and how RETR helps LOs see clearly
🤝 The power of real community, live learning, and ride-or-die accountability
📅 How MLO Live delivers coaching + accountability every weekday
🔁 Theme days that meet you where you are in your LO journey
🚀 Insights from industry top-performers like Laura Witte, Travis Newton, Erica Homefield, and more
🤯 The one Instagram strategy bringing in $25M+ in production
🎯 Why the best marketing is human connection, not templated posts
We also talk about the real business we’re all in: the marketing business. Scott breaks down why likes, comments, videos, birthday messages — the little human things — are what keep your name top-of-mind when that client’s reticular activator fires off.
💥 Bonus: You’ll hear about the accountability strategy baked into MLO Live that uses data and partnerships to make sure you actually DO what you say you’re going to do. (And yes, your accountability partner will be looped in when you don’t. 😉)
Whether you’re brand new in the industry, stuck at $5M a year, or scaling past $100M — this community is for you.
