1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.800
Justin Thompson: It's been an
amazing experience, the

2
00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:05.130
relationships that come together
and see each other once a year,

3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.460
the new relationships that are
being built the opportunity to

4
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.640
learn what's out there, the
events that are being put on,

5
00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:16.080
it's a great opportunity to come
into one place from brokers all

6
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:19.200
across the country, funders all
across the country, and get

7
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:20.250
together and cross pollinate.

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.770
Speaker 1: And what's been your
biggest takeaway, so far?

9
00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:24.960
Justin Thompson: Biggest
takeaway is this, this industry

10
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.410
is thriving. There's brokers
getting into the space, there's

11
00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:30.870
lenders that are continuing to
invest in the space. There's

12
00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:34.200
software platforms that are
coming into this space. There's

13
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.180
the technology and the
evolution, in this industry is

14
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:37.560
continuing to thrive.

15
00:00:38.540 --> 00:00:40.820
Speaker 1: And what are you
looking forward to most here

16
00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:41.240
today?

17
00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:44.690
Justin Thompson: Continuing to
build the relationships, seeing

18
00:00:44.690 --> 00:00:47.300
what new products are out there,
see what new technology is out

19
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:50.480
there. And understanding that
this is a great opportunity for

20
00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:52.940
us to get together and learn
from each other.

21
00:00:53.540 --> 00:00:56.270
Speaker 1: Now, what now you
were part of that group? What

22
00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:58.310
was that group speaking before
that panel?

23
00:00:58.580 --> 00:01:01.220
Justin Thompson: Yeah, so that
was the funders in the business.

24
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:04.760
Speaker 1: Okay. So tell me
about that panel. Exactly. What

25
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.460
did you talk about? Why do you
think that panel was important

26
00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:10.760
for this event? Are you trying
to help people with that a panel

27
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.930
like that? Explained to me that
panel.

28
00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:13.790
Justin Thompson: Absolutely. So
I believe that panel was the

29
00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:17.570
only panel that had all lenders
on it, not just brokers, but all

30
00:01:17.570 --> 00:01:21.890
lenders and the moderator Jared
Weiss is a broker. So it's great

31
00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:24.860
that he moderated and us three
up there as lenders. And I think

32
00:01:24.860 --> 00:01:28.430
it's important for brokers to
understand what lenders how

33
00:01:28.430 --> 00:01:31.250
lenders view, the space, the
lenses that we see the world

34
00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:34.910
through how we interact and work
with the brokers. And it's

35
00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:38.030
important that they hear what's
important to us. That way, we

36
00:01:38.030 --> 00:01:39.860
continue to build those
relationships and keep them

37
00:01:39.860 --> 00:01:40.340
stronger.

38
00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:44.550
Speaker 1: So do you think that
panel was a success as far as

39
00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:46.680
getting connections and stuff
like that?

40
00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:48.360
Justin Thompson: Absolutely.
Probably the best panel of all

41
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:53.460
time. That was a great panel,
because there is great questions

42
00:01:53.460 --> 00:01:56.160
that were being asked by the
moderator. And we talk through

43
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.280
how we view our business which
is important for brokers to know

44
00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:02.310
because the more that they know
about our business, the more

45
00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:04.530
they can place paper
appropriately. The more that we

46
00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:07.470
can build a relationship. We can
build a book and we continue to

47
00:02:07.470 --> 00:02:09.000
be both successful at the same
time.
