The Mortgage Game
Welcome to "The Mortgage Game", my name is Ryan Wiley.
I truly believe that building a successful mortgage business is like playing a game. There's winners, but mostly, there's losers.
I've not only built my own successful mortgage business, but I've also coached and mentored hundreds of mortgage brokers. These days, I run my own mortgage team, Team Wiley.
Now, through coaching, events, and this podcast, I want to distill everything I've learned, and bring it directly to you.
