When Success Isn’t Enough: Melissa Korda’s Pivot to Purpose EP 72

Seattle-based lender Melissa Korda funded 209 investor loans / $118M in 2024. After 20 years in collegiate/pro sports (master’s in Kinesiology) and years of flips, COVID ended the “safe” path and she rebuilt from the ground up as a loan officer. Today she holds 3 long-term rentals, invests passively, and teaches women how to use private lending and creative capital to build aligned wealth. We get into the pride-swallowing first step, why joy is the compass, and how our dinner-table talks about college, AI, and success have changed.
📝 Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode:
Learn as you go, with guidance, or you’ll never start: You will never feel fully “ready.” Get educated, get a mentor or coach, then move. The real growth happens in motion. Melissa’s pivot worked because she took the next honest step and let each rep become tuition for the bigger deals. The gift in every project, regardless of the check you cash, is the capability you build. Those lessons are what make the larger, later deals run smoothly.
Redefine success, for you and your kids: Our households aren’t having the same “college or bust” talk we grew up with. Trades are valuable, entrepreneurship is learn-by-doing, and yes, AI is reshaping what’s needed. We even call out current data around computer-science grads and why the “right path” is the one that fits the human in front of you.
Traditional paths rarely create real wealth, creative ones do: From Melissa’s lending seat, we unpack why MLS-only hunting and bank-only financing weren’t built to help you break the mold and how alternative lenders and relationship-driven deal flow open better opportunities.
