Kevin Rodman spent 24 years at Morgan Stanley, rising from bond trader to partner overseeing mortgage operations as the system came apart in 2008. What separated the survivors from the casualties, he says, was culture and discipline, and a refusal to let one superstar desk run the firm off a cliff. Those lessons now sit at the core of ABL Asset Based Lending, the private lender he helped build into a billion-dollar platform for new construction, fix and flip, and DSCR loans. In this episode, Rodman walks Zeb through ABL's growth from a 2010 post-crash startup to a national platform serving seasoned infill builders, the hard reset that followed when DSCR volume doubled and service times slipped, and how AI is already reshaping the mortgage factory. His read on the next decade: the lenders who win will pair durable capital with modern tech and a culture where everyone thinks like an owner.
