Tired of chasing cold leads and posting content that goes nowhere?
Welcome to Referral Renegade—the show that flips the script on how real estate and mortgage pros grow their business.

Hosted by Keith Goeringer, a loan officer turned referral machine, each episode unpacks the systems, psychology, and straight-up real talk you need to build a business that attracts clients instead of begging for them.

We’re not here for hype. We’re here for rhythm, referrals, and results.

Expect charisma, clarity, and unfiltered lessons from the trenches—plus a little sarcasm, because let’s be honest: if you’re still posting when you “feel inspired,” your pipeline probably feels like a ghost town.

🎯 Get ready to build trust, create demand, and finally stop playing small.

Because you weren’t meant to be forgettable. You were meant to be referred.

You’ve been using AI wrong—and it's quietly sabotaging your thinking.

If you’ve ever felt like your ideas sound better in your head than in your notes, this episode will change how you use AI forever.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why AI isn’t your notetaker—it’s your thinking partner
• The cognitive trap of summarizing too soon
• How a 25-minute voice ramble led to a major creative breakthrough
