In this week’s The Mortgage Rainmaker Podcast episode, Shayla Gifford sits down with Dave to explore the mindset, habits, and mission behind his success.
Whether you’re a new loan officer or a seasoned pro ready to redefine what success means to you, this episode offers a fresh take on how mortgage technology can power not just your production—but your legacy.
What Is Mortgage Technology?
Mortgage technology refers to digital tools and platforms that streamline the mortgage process, from application and underwriting to communication and client retention. With platforms like Mortgage Coach, tech is no longer a luxury—it’s a leadership lever.
But as Dave Savage points out, technology alone doesn’t transform a business. It’s how you use it—paired with vision, discipline, and deep personal development—that makes the difference.

Humble
Leaders listen. Dave credits much of his growth to seeking mentorship, feedback, and collaboration.
Happy
