Mortgage Marketing Expert

Roland Cochrun is an entrepreneur, coach, and hosts a live event for mortgage professionals who are bored with their current life and want to become excited again by doing work that matters. Roland has built businesses, sold businesses, retired young, and traveled the world. Despite his financial success, he always felt like his life wasn't good enough. He tried books, conferences, coaches, and even therapists. Even though things got better, it wasn't enough for him to just feel happy with who he had become. Roland learned that his desire for more, which is in all of us, is part of our design. A design that motivates us to keep searching for more success, more connection, more freedom, and more impact. It isn't a goal or a place, it's a way of being fulfilled. Through this journey he created the InDesign system.
