ATTENTION SBA BORROWERS AND LENDERS: Today we (@Jake_potter35 and another) are hitting send on a platform to democratize data on SBA loans. sbalenders(dot)co What does it do? 1. Gives you stats on top lenders, direct from the SBA For example, you can see that while Chase issued about the same loan volume as First Internet Bank (147 to 193 loans) FIB had 2.5x the total volume ($438 m to $169) Or that GBank did 83 loans (69% of total count) for hotels and motels. Clearly- they have a niche. Where is this data coming from? Directly from the SBA. 2. Let borrowers see what individual lenders did I know this may be a surprise, but not everyone is active on X and LinkedIn (shocker, I know) There are deals that happen you may never heard of. Take this from Blake Cranor at Live Oak: If you are curious, you can access this deal and others within 2 clicks from our landing page- all without making an account. 3. Connect with individual loan officers Ok, yeah, you can do this elsewhere also. Here's where we are different: Loan officers are building profiles on here. They can add deal details to highlight what they have been able to get across the line. Here's my man Kirby from Acclivity: It's huge for loan officers to showcase themselves to borrowers. Loan officers have LOVED this. They also love that borrowers can leave them reviews. Yes reviews. Future and vision First- how we make money. Answer: as a loan broker. Loan officers see our vision to have a data-driven product to match lenders and borrowers and want in. They are happy to pay us a fee on closing for borrowers we drive them. This current version isn't perfect. We know. It's got some work to be done. But we have something good enough and wanted to ship. We have plans to use this to gather a lot more information both on borrowers and lenders. We can ask questions about a borrower's personal finances, industry experience, and get details about their deal to align with the right bank. Banks, on the flip side, will be able to adjust their preferences for different industries, credit box, and other factors. All to save everyone time and get the best match to make the best deal happen. If you are a lender- we invite you to come on board and make a profile. Your competition already is. If you are a borrower- create a profile. It's free. Explore the data and reach out to me. I am seriously dying to know what we can add to make this a killer product for you. Stay tuned.

This is the wildest interview I’ve ever done. It led to me witnessing a literal Christian miracle! Yale's Carlos Eire provides robust evidence that Christians actually LEVITATED!! His new book on the subject is named: They Flew. This book isn’t wild speculation but rigorous scholarship by one of the most respected historians in the world. As an agnostic, I was so suspicious before picking it up, but by the time I put it down, I was awestruck by the overwhelming historical evidence that Carlos presented. In fact, I was so shook by this book, that I ended up chasing down a rumor in Pennsylvania (w/ @jeremygiffon) where both of us witnessed a literal Christian miracle with our own eyes (I discuss with Carlos at 26:52). If you listen to this interview with an open mind, it will radically transform how you see the world. Even if you remain suspicious about the reality of miracles, you will see how central thinking about miracles has been to philosophy, history, technology, and even science.
