Director of Events

Glenn Stearns, CEO and founder of Kind Lending will be appearing on National Mortgage Professional magazine's next episode of Mortgage Leadership Outlook on April 16.

The Mortgage Leadership Outlook was designed to help mortgage professionals find clarity and reassurance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mortgage professionals who have appeared on the show also gave some insight on what they are currently seeing in the industry and share predictions of what it might look like once the pandemic has passed.

Stearns is one of the most respected names in the mortgage industry starting with Stearns Lending, LLC. He built Stearns Lending in 1989 and turned it into one of the largest privately held mortgage companies in the nation for quite some time. In 2014, Blackstone purchased Stearns Lending, Stearns himself went on to continue his decorated career in the mortgage lending business. Now, with Kind Lending, a new mortgage banking company, Stearns is looking to add fun into lending.

You can watch Stearns and the series' host Andrew Berman, head of engagement and outreach for National Mortgage Professional magazine, discuss important topics in the industry at 4:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT on the MNN YouTube Channel.

Previous guests include Carl White, Barry Habib, Rick Sharga, Gary Malis, Robert Senko, Samir Dedhia, David H. Stevens, Peter Norden, Faith Schwartz, Rob Chrisman and more.
