Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring loan officer, this podcast will have you clear to close with valuable insights, expert advice, and jaw-dropping stories from the cutting edge of the mortgage business. Lending Leadership is two powerful shows in one, alternating every week between The Mortgage Pros and The Creative Brief. In The Mortgage Pros, you’ll be guided by the three dynamic partners of HMA Mortgage—Tom Mills, Dave Holland, and Robert Fillyaw—through the real, unfiltered truth about the mortgage industry. With decades of combined experience and close to a million dollars spent on professional coaching (yes, you read that right), our hosts are ready to share their wealth of knowledge and hard-earned wisdom and maybe even reveal a few facepalm-worthy moments that loan officers will not want to miss. In The Creative Brief, we’ll take a step back from the front lines of the mortgage world and show you results-driven marketing processes that every loan officer will want to use on a daily basis.…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T16:19:52.326819+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lending-leadership-7056247"},"episode":{"title":"Boosting Event Engagement with Apps and Gamification at Lending Leadership","slug":"boosting-event-engagement-with-apps-and-gamification-at-lending-leadership","published_at":"2026-04-22T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lending-leadership-7056247/boosting-event-engagement-with-apps-and-gamification-at-lending-leadership","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lending-leadership-7056247","url":"https://www.hmamortgage.com/lending-leadership/boosting-event-engagement-with-apps-and-gamification-at-lending-leadership","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/07e6ab76-71f8-4356-9f2d-8106df019fea.mp3","summary":"This week, we're diving into one of our favorite topics: event planning and more specifically, how we’re leveling up our annual sales rally. There’s a lot more to events than just packing the room; we’re talking gamification, increased connection, creative engagement, and lessons learned from years of experience. Whether you’re part of a massive organization or running smaller regional events, we have plenty of tangible ideas and honest reflections for you to take back to your own teams. In this episode, we’re sharing real-world stories, practical event tips, and even a few event mishaps along the way. We believe in learning, laughing, and always leveling up, and this episode is packed with ways to make your next event more meaningful for everyone involved. What we discuss: Why it’s essential to build connection and momentum before the event even begins The challenges of running engaging events for a geographically diverse team How technology (like event apps and gamification tools) can support both attendees and sponsors The art and science of event flow, and mistakes we've made (hello, slow-motion bingo!) Simple tools to boost participation, like inclusive activities and even throwable microphones Why downtime matters as much as structured time at high-energy sales events The big-picture goal: creating culture, not just content Key takeaways: Gamification Drives Connection: By incorporating app-based games and contests, we’re encouraging attendees to interact meaningfully not only with each other but with sponsors as well. For example, loan officers earn points by visiting sponsor tables, leading to lively competition and new conversations (04:44).
