Arjun Dhingra breaks down how 25 years in mortgage, lending, and real estate—spanning from fax machines and analog systems all the way to AI-driven automation—have completely reshaped the way he builds businesses today. He shares why most professionals misunderstand disruption, how personal branding became his lifeline, and why adaptability (AQ) is now the #1 trait entrepreneurs must master to stay relevant.
From surviving the 2008 crash to navigating digital transformation, launching LFG, and building communities that actually create momentum, Arjun reveals the mindset shifts, failures, strategic pivots, and real leadership required to evolve in an industry where 80% of roles may soon be automated. If you're ready to scale with clarity, embrace AI, and build a business—and a brand—that stands the test of time, this episode maps out exactly how to do it.
