Hot wings. Hotter takes. And the question everyone in the mortgage industry is asking right now — what does AI actually mean for loan officers?

In this episode of Burning Questions, Brandon sits down with Nick Christensen and Chris Olsen from Tidalwave to get into all of it. First Colony Mortgage is bringing Tidalwave to our team — and this is the conversation that kicks it off. Is the mortgage industry embarrassingly behind on borrower expectations? What does a loan officer's day actually look like on this platform? And is AI the new 2008 — where the people who don't move, don't survive?

The wings are hot. The conversation is hotter. And nobody's holding back.

Stay spicy. 🔥

Introducing Burning Questions Hot wings. Real questions. No holding back.

We’re launching a new series, and who better to start than Corey Shelley in the hot seat. Ten wings. Ten questions. A lot of hot sauce.

Each wing gets hotter. Each question gets realer. No scripts, no filters, nowhere to hide.

In Episode One, Corey sits down with Brandon to share his why behind First Colony Mortgage, the moments that shaped his leadership, and how he plans to keep the family feel as we grow. One team question hit almost as hard as the last wing.

We won’t spoil the rest—you’ll have to watch to see how he handled wing nine.

Stay spicy. 🔥
