The Loan Officer Podcast
Dustin Owen
This show makes the boring FUN! Imagine if Joe Rogan and Dave Ramsey had a baby. That’s this show! These guys teach the sh*t they don’t teach in school. Their goal is to simplify topics that range from personal finance, purchasing real estate & obtaining home loans to being a successful mortgage originator, running a business and finding success as a sales professional.
The mission is simple; to invite you into the room where it happens. They strive to teach you how to create opportunities even when it can be a struggle to get your foot in the door. While there is a lot of content geared specifically towards mortgage professionals, the majority of the episodes will resonate will all audience members. (Not just mortgage lenders!)
D.O. (Dustin Owen) is the creator & host. He is a 20+ year veteran of the mortgage industry, a real estate investor, business coach and angel investor. J.C. (John Coleman) is the co-host / producer of the show. J.C. has 15+ years’ experience as an Emmy Award-Winning Content Creator & Marketer.

Episode 171: Lessons And Experiences From The MBA Conference
Where should we begin? It all started with a broken plane, which lead to a broken tooth - an MBA Graduation followed by Market Projections - which then lead to a Pitbull on an aircraft carrier.
Then transition to the Dodgers NLCS game, leading to awesome podcast episodes and an awesome lunch with the future unicorn of the fintech industry. Cap it off with IPA’s on Pacific Beach and that about sums it up.
