🎙 Episode Recap: Mortgage Megadeals, Myths, and the Dark Matter Behind It All

In today’s episode, we were joined by a special guest who’s no stranger to transformation — Sean Dugan, newly named CEO of Dark Matter Technologies.

We kick things off with the bombshell news shaking the industry: Rocket Mortgage’s acquisition of Mr. Cooper’s correspondent business — its second major deal in just two weeks. Is Rocket building a mortgage empire... or a regulatory headache? We break down what this move means for lenders, competitors, and the future of scale in mortgage.

Then we go deep with Sean on:

• The origin story of Dark Matter and what sets them apart post-rebrand
• His leadership philosophy and how it’s shaping their next phase of growth
• The real role of AI in mortgage — what’s hype, what’s helpful, and what’s next
• The biggest myths in mortgage tech he’s ready to see disappear for good

If you’re navigating change, scaling tech, or just trying to stay ahead in this fast-moving industry — this one’s a must-listen.
