The Visionary Experience: Recent Episodes
BRANDON THORPE
The Visionary Experience was born out of necessity. Created by Brandon Thorpe, Founder of Visionary Lending, a premier mortgage and financial services company, this podcast features rich and robust discussions surrounding real estate, leadership, socio-economic issues and overcoming life's challenges.
In this ever-evolving workplace, which is more important? Culture or Environment? Today we discuss it.

This podcast is for those looking to build a solid small business in 2023 and beyond. We discuss key areas of consideration, experience, foresight, and logistics. Our country is built upon a foundation of small businesses and the services they provide. I highly recommend books such as Business Made Simple by Donald Miller and The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. These books give superb perspectives on the transition from practitioner to entrepreneur and how to actually run your business as an entrepreneur. I hope you enjoy!

This podcast is a mix of sorts on my thoughts regarding governmental programs and assistance vs. self-determination, and other random concerns I have halfway through 2022. Every once in a while, I find it important to simply share what I am feeling and thinking to be open & transparent. With so much going on in society, we all need outlets and we all need ways to express ourselves; to stay mentally healthy. This is a prelude to my next podcast to be entitled: “Won’t Back Down” which was inspired by a recent sermon from Pastor Will Archer from the Potomac Valley Church of Christ. I hope you enjoy it and can relate!
Jolene Smith of JS Realty & Chris Brouard of Infinite Legacies joins Brandon again to discuss the Real Estate market as a whole and how it's affecting deals in Baltimore.
Today’s podcast is about asking yourself the question- Do I speak up for others? That can be a difficult question because we all have so many individual problems and issues that, it may be hard to focus on others. These verses I discuss in the book of Proverbs really hit my heart; being from the inner city of Baltimore and seeing too many without an advocate. My conviction is to use what I’ve been given to help the next person. What do you believe? How do you live? This is not a judgment but an open dialogue and exploration of what motivates and pushes us to action- In defense of others.
This podcast centers upon the importance of recognizing and taking advantage of opportunities in our lives. So often we can be sidetracked by distractions or focused on what we believe is ‘important’. I share personal experiences, business, and sports references to paint a vivid picture of how crucial capitalizing with the right timing and preparation can make all the difference. To get a good sense, on the business side, of how to capitalize and be proactive, I highly recommend:
“Sell or Be Sold” by Grant Cardone and “Your Next Five Moves” by Patrick Bet-David.

There is a fascinating article by Bloomberg Business detailing the discriminatory lending practices by Wells Fargo bank against African-Americans- in 2020. Bloomberg does a great job in detailing the data, sharing stories, and giving a comparison versus other lenders during the 2020 time period. In addition, it speaks to different “races/ethnicities” and how Wells Fargo treated their loans.
Do your own research, please, and come to your own conclusions.

The joy of looking at a freshly cut lawn is truly sensational! The funny thing is, from afar
many lawns look pristine. However, sometimes, when you look closer there are lots of weeds and other unattractive green-ish type things growing alongside the grass. Get the point?
This podcast shares my personal lessons, victories, and defeats gleaned during cutting my grass. Believe me, there’s a lot to be learned about life here. Hope you enjoy it!
What do people “say” about you? How do you represent yourself? How are you
Really when no one is looking? Our character is the architecture and foundation upon
which our relationships are built…and hopefully last. Strong character builds the currency
of exchange In our relationships; personally and professionally. Is your currency valuable?
Or, is it worthless? Take a look in the mirror and see beyond the exterior to find the answer
To those questions.
There are times in life when we all need to feel protected, cared for, and acknowledged.
An Advocate is someone who speaks for the voiceless, stands up for the oppressed, and
represents those in need. We appreciate those who work hard, consistently, to provide for
their families and create better lives. We stand strong to advocate for the power and
Liberation of homeownership. This podcast seeks to connect you with that mission, that
purpose, deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of the Visionary Lending family.
As we enter into the fall 2021 homebuying season, there are several things that you must consider in order to be successful. Today will answer many of those questions and equip you with the knowledge that you need to be very competitive and the DC, Maryland, Virginia marketplace.
