In this episode I sit down with Randell Gillespie, my boss at
Thrive Mortgage, near the end of our Thrive 2022 Summit in Austin,
TX last month. We talk about some of the issues that our industry
is face with today, and how LO's, branches, and companies can set
themselves apart in a crowded industry. We also break down the best
ways to use automation and technology without replacing
relationships or becoming too transactional.
Randell Gillespie is the National Sales Manager for Thrive
Mortgage, one of the most recognizable brands and innovative
lenders of this modern era of mortgage lending. Randell has a
wealth of experience and relationships from over 30 years in the
business, and says it starts with his love of the mortgage business
and still remembers his first client he helped get into their dream
home. He is an inspirational leader and execution-focused strategic
planner and strives to “pay it forward” from those who have
invested in his career.
After serving with distinction in the Marine Corps for 4 years,
Randell served on his local City Council and ultimately joined the
mortgage industry as a Loan Originator, where he earned Rookie of
the Year. He was soon given the opportunity to run a branch and
built it to the number one lender in the market. He was promoted
through the ranks in Area, Regional and Divisional roles covering
markets all throughout the US. His most prized recognitions have
come from notes from teammates that share appreciation for
developing them into stronger professionals and inspiring them to
greater performance. He is a grateful husband and father of 9
children who have gone into ministry, medicine and music
education.
