The Way with Dino Katsiametis: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Dino Katsiametis
Mortgage strategy and mindset for advisors building something that lasts. The Way with Dino Katsiametis goes inside the businesses of the mortgage industry's top producers and operators — how they originate, how they retain clients, how they lead teams, and how they build companies worth owning. Guests have included Heather Lovier, COO of Rocket Companies; Dave Savage, founder of Mortgage Coach; Josh Mettle of NEO Home Loans; Wade Betz of Mpire Financial; and Anthony Casa. Every episode is a working session, not a highlight reel. Real systems, named tools, and the specific plays behind them — the gifting system that produces repeat closings, the referral partnerships that actually hold, the retention habits most advisors skip. Hosted by Dino Katsiametis, Founder & CEO of Ethos Lending.
