The industry is
splitting in two.
The loan officers figuring out AI right now are pulling away from everyone else. Fast. The Collective is where they're learning how. On-demand trainings starting at $17. A community of 32,000+ LOs and growing.
Built for loan officers who want to compete differently.
Not everyone belongs here. We built this for a specific kind of professional. If you see yourself below, you're in the right place.
- You're producing but know your current tools and systems aren't keeping up
- You want to learn AI the right way, not from a 30-second TikTok
- You'd rather build real workflows than chase the next shiny app
- You're willing to invest time in learning something that pays back every week
- You want training from someone who closes loans, not someone who just talks about it
- You're looking for AI to magically fix a broken business
- You want to watch a training and never implement anything
- You think AI is a fad and you're just browsing out of curiosity
- You want someone to do the work for you instead of teaching you how
- You're not willing to spend 20 minutes learning before you start clicking buttons

Meet Our Experts
Two people who still do the work. Not former practitioners. Not consultants watching from the sideline. Shane closes loans. Kyle fills rooms. Both build AI systems inside live businesses every week.
Kyle Draper
Kyle went from filling a room on Sunday morning to filling pipelines on Monday. Best-selling author, international speaker, and former pastor who figured out that the skills behind building a community translate directly to building a business. He runs one of the largest virtual assistant staffing companies in the mortgage industry, placing trained remote staff inside loan officer operations across the country. He has trained thousands of sales professionals to use content and modern communication to attract the right people instead of chasing them. Kyle teaches the systems behind visibility, influence, and consistent lead generation without burning out trying to be everywhere at once. He speaks nationally alongside Shane on AI adoption and sales strategy.
Shane Kidwell
Shane started as a professional firefighter at one of the busiest stations on the West Coast. He was still on shift when he crossed into lending. Loan officer to branch manager to EVP of Sales. Top 1% six times. 40 Under 40. HousingWire Rising Star. Then his daughter was born and the metrics changed. He stepped down and rebuilt every system around one question: does this let me be the dad I want to be? Now he runs Dwell Mortgage, The Collective Coaching, and AI systems across three businesses. He delivers enterprise AI training for two of the country's largest retail lenders and speaks at AIME Fuse, NAMB National, and Originator Connect.

The Drop
From Shane. Every Tuesday morning.
Every week I share what's running inside my business. The sales scripts we're testing, the AI tools we built for our LOs, the things worth stealing. Stuff I'd tell you over coffee if we had time.

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 stepped down from a career that was working by every external metric because the internal ones stopped adding up. Kyle walked away from a ministry career to build something in business that actually helped people grow. Both of them rebuilt from scratch. That's not a pitch. That's the foundation this whole thing is built on.
The Collective is not a hype group. It's not a place where everyone gets a trophy. It's built for loan officers who want someone in their corner who cares enough to tell them the truth, even when it's hard to hear.
We want you to win. That's it. Everything here is built around that.
You read the whole page. That tells us something. The LOs who move first on AI are the ones still standing in three years. This is where you start.
