You can't walk into a room in the mortgage industry these days without someone bringing up AI, and for good reason. As science fiction rapidly becomes science fact, this session cuts through the noise to uncover what's really happening. 

Ken Perry separates hype from reality and explores how AI is reshaping the industry, where it's boosting efficiency, where it's falling short, and what it truly means for your role. With real-world examples from Knowledge Coop's own AI tools, you'll get a grounded look at what AI is capable of now, with some glimpses into what’s possible for the future.

Stop chasing everyone and attract those who truly fit. 

Your culture isn’t defined by your mission statement. It’s defined by the worst behavior you’re willing to tolerate.

In this interactive session, we’ll flip traditional recruiting on its head. Together, we’ll dig into:

• Defining your culture: What’s historically worked and what no longer serves your vision.
  

• The ideal teammate: Who thrives in your system? Who drains it?
  

• Finding your people: Where your top talent spends their time and how do you build authentic relationships before you “need” them?
  

• When to double down and when to walk away: Because not every good résumé is a good fit.
  

• Comp plans & incentives: The risk, reward, and psychology behind motivation.
  

This isn’t a “how-to” it’s a “think-through.” You’ll walk away with sharper questions, clearer criteria, and a stronger strategy to recruit not just talent, but culture-fits who fuel your future.
