AI-Generated Summary

In this high-energy episode of Dropping Bombs, host Brad Lee interviews Mike Cordes, the founder of Nexa and Axon, two rapidly growing companies disrupting the mortgage and real estate industries. Cordes shares his rags-to-riches journey from homelessness and dropping out of high school to becoming a top mortgage broker and billionaire-in-the-making. He reveals how Nexa, the top mortgage broker in U.S. history, treats loan officers as the true backbone of the business—paying them the highest commissions, offering daily payouts, 24/7 support, and even access to private jets, ranches, and yachts. The platform’s success stems from a radical mindset shift: loan officers aren’t employees—they’re entrepreneurs. Cordes also introduces Axon, a new real estate company applying the same model to realtors, offering unmatched pay, training, lead generation tech, and cultural support. A groundbreaking upcoming feature allows loan officers to earn residual income from their loans and access servicing data—something never before offered in the industry. The episode is a call to action for anyone in real estate or mortgage to reconsider their current path and join a system built on empowerment, ownership, and massive opportunity.
