How to Scale from Solo LO to Billion-Dollar Leader with Shayla Gifford

What does it really take to go from a broke 23-year-old cold-calling strangers…
 to building a billion-dollar mortgage organization — without losing your family, your health, or your joy?

In this powerful episode of The Way with Dino Katsiametis, Dino sits down with Shayla Gifford — mortgage industry icon, Rainmaker strategist, and creator of the Rainmaker Archetype system.

Shayla’s journey is raw, real, and deeply tactical:

• Dropping out of college
 • Starting in door-to-door sales
 • Closing 20 loans in her third month
 • Scaling from a one-woman operation to a 150-employee, billion-dollar team
 • And ultimately rebuilding her business around systems, balance, and sustainable performance

This isn’t just motivation.
 This is a playbook for originators who want to scale intelligently in today’s market.
