The industry is
splitting in two.
The loan officers on the right side of that split aren't going to more conferences. They're building AI systems that source leads, follow up on dead pipeline, and qualify borrowers — then picking up the phone and closing like they always have. Shane and Kyle built The Collective to teach both. On-demand trainings, enterprise coaching for teams, and 1:1 access to Shane if you want to build directly with him. Pick your lane.
Shane and Kyle have been through it — the wins, the losses, the seasons where the dream starts to feel like it's slipping. They built this because they know what it's like to carry that weight with nobody in your corner who actually gets it.
What is The Collective?
AI won't make you obsolete. But the sales professional down the street who learns it first might. The highest-earning commission professionals moving forward won't choose between new school tech and old school sales. They'll run both. We're a digital product and enterprise training company that teaches you how to layer AI on top of the handshakes, phone calls, and relationship-building skills that have always closed deals. Three ways to work with us. Pick the lane that fits.
Meet Our Experts
Forget about borrowed advice from self-proclaimed "experts." Here, you learn directly from the industry's best.
Kyle Draper
Best-selling author, international speaker, and former pastor who figured out that the same skills that fill a room on Sunday morning fill a pipeline on Monday. Kyle teaches sales professionals how to use AI and content to attract the right people instead of chasing them. He's trained thousands to do it without sounding like a robot.
Shane Kidwell
Top 1% Originator six times over, 40 Under 40 winner, and a former firefighter who still works like one. Shane builds AI systems that run inside real mortgage businesses. Not demos, not theory, not slides. He has twelve AI assistants running in his own operation right now. When he teaches a tool, it's because he used it to close business that morning.

What's actually working in my business right now.
From Shane. Every Tuesday morning.
Every week I share what's running inside my business — the sales scripts we're testing, the tools we built for our LOs, the things worth stealing. I'm an operator. I build the systems, watch what they produce, and pass the useful ones on.

The industry moved. Most LOs are still catching up.
It used to be enough to pick up the phone and grind. Now it's AI, content, systems, and figuring out how to stay relevant when everything changes every six months.
Shane and Kyle have been through it. The wins, the losses, the seasons where the dream starts to feel like it's slipping. They built The Collective because they know what it's like to carry that weight alone and have nobody in your corner who actually gets it.
This isn't a hype group. It's not a place where everyone gets a trophy. The Collective is built for loan officers who want honest feedback, real strategy, and people around them who care enough to tell them the truth.
We want you to win. That's it. Everything here is built around that.
