Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when your career collapses, your confidence disappears, and life forces you to start over?
In this powerful episode of the Made to Be Great Podcast, Josh sits down with Melanie French, a top-producing loan officer at Fairway Mortgage, to share her incredible journey from rock bottom to success. After COVID changed everything, Melanie found herself divorced, raising a fragile premature baby, and leaving a demanding corporate career. With no clear direction and struggling with confidence, she accidentally entered the mortgage industry… and initially failed.
But one bold decision changed everything.
In this conversation, Melanie reveals:
How she overcame imposter syndrome and self-doubt
The mindset shift that changed her career
Why authenticity beats traditional sales tactics
The truth about succeeding as a loan officer in a difficult market
How helping others can unlock unlimited opportunity
Whether you're in the mortgage industry, building a business, or going through a difficult life transition, this episode is packed with real lessons about resilience, growth, and purpose.
If you're feeling stuck, discouraged, or uncertain about your next step, this story is for you.
