In this episode of the Non-Del Influencers Podcast, host Matt Coles sits down with Wade Betz, Head of Correspondent Lending at Mpire Financial Group, for a transparent and energizing conversation on building a scalable and resilient non-delegated lending platform.

Wade opens up about his journey from retail to broker to banker—sharing valuable lessons from the trenches, including the one loan that almost went sideways and the systems that saved it. From starting with one warehouse line to now building a team and scaling investor relationships, Wade explains what it really takes to win in this space while staying true to your business values.

🎯 Key highlights include:

• The promise Wade made before launching Mpire’s correspondent platform
• Why transparency on rate sheets matters
• Common LO hang-ups about non-del and how to overcome them
• How to build your team without overhiring
• Smart strategies for managing investor relationships
• What to do when a loan isn’t getting purchased (and how Wade handled it like a pro)
• Why systems define your success—and what "S.W.E.A.T." really means
• Lessons from sharing the stage with top producer Shant at HousingWire
