This week’s Broker to Broker podcast features Steven Carey, Owner of Hightide Mortgage, who shares how he built a thriving brokerage by blending corporate sales discipline with modern technology and a people-first mindset. From his start in banking to launching Hightide, Steven breaks down how brokers can use AI, data, and intentional planning to stand out in a rapidly evolving industry.


???? Key Takeaways:

  • From bank to broker: why Steven chose independence over committee approvals.
  • The new broker skill set: from technician to coach and trusted advisor.
  • Using AI as a “digital mentor” for communication, strategy, and efficiency.
  • Turning data into opportunity: using public information to educate clients and win referrals.
  • Goal setting that sticks: how intentional actions and measurable planning create real growth.


???? Golden Nugget:

“So get out there, ask for nothing, give everything, and by doing that, stuff will magically come back to you.”
