In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, I’m pulling back the curtain on everything I’ve learned building BluMortgage—and what I’d do differently if I were starting from scratch today.
I’m walking you through how I’d think about:
→ Building a simple, addictive product
→ Structuring a freemium model
→ Leveraging referrals over paid ads
→ Using AI (the right way)
→ And why simplicity always wins
Whether you’re in mortgage tech or any kind of SaaS, this episode will give you a fresh framework to think about how to build and scale your next product.
