Ep. 9 - Brian Covey - Former Professional Soccer Player / Top Mortgage Professional / Author / Key-Note Speaker / Husband and Father
from Dad Up Podcast · host Bryan Ward
Brian leads a busy life between running a successful sales team at loanDepot and spending quality time with this family. But life wasn't always this simplistic to him. How do you go from pro-soccer player to VP of one of the largest mortgage companies in America – more importantly what did Brian learn along the way, the answer is A LOT! Once an Olympic USA Soccer Player, Brian quickly learned how to get “cut” and literally…get cut. Fitness and mindset became masteries for Brian very early as his career was affected by the 2007 market crash just years after his soccer team days came to an end, right when he was raising toddlers with his wife Nicole. Brian has mastered the art of a growth mindset, the art of winning, and the art of staying fit. He believes in integration and health over all things. Brian is an executive at loanDepot, a proud father, an influencer, a top-rated podcaster and, just simply, a fabulous soccer dad. He throws the suit down and coaches his daughters league with joy several times a week. It is all about balance! Ever since Brian was a child he has had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. “To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.” Growing up in Memphis, TN his love for the sport of soccer led him to travel the world, compete at the highest levels & experience so much that has shaped him into the husband, dad & leader he is today. Today, Brian is a VP in the mortgage industry with loanDepot, one of the top 5 lenders in the country. He is still very passionate about being part of a championship team and equipping his team with the tools to excel, leadership development & leading change in the mortgage industry.
