In this episode, Julian Fayad, CEO of LoanOptions.ai, sits down with industry influencer Dino Pacella for a dynamic and inspiring discussion.
Dino—Head of Partnerships at MKP.Finance and founder of National Finance Brokers Day—opens up about his unexpected career pivot from aspiring athlete to respected finance leader. His journey is one of reinvention, resilience, and redefining what it means to stand out in a competitive industry.

The conversation touches on the increasing importance of AI for brokers, the value of trust-based partnerships, and how National Finance Brokers Day is elevating the profession.
