While at TMC’s “The Mane Event” in Louisville, Kentucky, Alayna had the opportunity to chat with Stephen Huang, Key Account Director at MeridianLink, about sales, the benefits of being a vendor vs. a lender, and the importance of sticking to your core values.
One of our core values at LodeStar is Clarity. We aspire to be honest and straightforward. Sometimes that’s easy. Sometimes, especially when the market is just “kind of OK,” that’s tough.

We’re trying something new this week at LLL. Every month, Jim and Alayna will put their heads together to talk about the state of the mortgage industry and discuss relevant topics, headlines, and current events. This time they talk about conferences, meeting clients, and responding to changes in volume. Also, they judge vendors’ snack offerings and booth setups at this spring’s industry conferences.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It’s also a great time to take a look at how far we’ve come as an industry when it comes to both acknowledging the validity and significance of mental health, and providing adequate mental health resources for employees.

Here at LLL we get to talk to some great people, friends both old and new. Kevin Streber, an Account Director at SalesScreen, a leading sales gamification platform, has known Jim for a long time. We were thrilled to sit down with him and talk all things gamification in the workplace and what really motivates employees.
LLL had the long-awaited pleasure of reconnecting with our CEO, Jim Paolino, who’s been on paternity leave. It was great to have him back, and we were eager to catch up!
