Renegade Academy Est. 2026 — Now Enrolling

RenegadeAcademy

A university of excellence for the independent originator. We turn loan officers who wait on referrals into Renegades who build their own demand.

Believe. Build. Break free. Eight weeks — taught live, built with you, and you never go back.

The Trap

You mastered the craft. Then you got stuck waiting on referrals.

The problem was never your ability — nobody taught you to build your own demand.

A handful of Realtors. Whether they feel like sending a deal this month. One agent retires, one market shifts, and a great originator has a quiet quarter through no fault of his own. You're not stuck. You were just never shown the other way.

This Semester

Mortgage Broker Transformation

8 weeks / believe · build · break free

Dependent originators walk in. Self-sufficient Renegades walk out. Here's the arc — one live class a week, one mission a week, one transformation.

01
Believe
The Renegade Mind

Rewire how you see yourself. Before a single ad, we turn the operator's mentality into an owner's — because you can't build a Renegade business with an employee's mind.

02
Believe
Breaking the Realtor Trap

Why most originators stay dependent and reactive — and how to position yourself to build your own demand instead of begging for referrals.

03
Build
Advertising That Actually Works

The direct-response fundamentals nobody taught you. More about creating customers in one class than most people get in four years of college.

04
Build
Build Your Ad Machine

We construct your advertising engine together, live, loaded straight into your CRM. You leave with it running — not with a page of notes.

05
Build
Your AI Marketing Team

Put AI to work as your unfair advantage: content, campaigns, and creative at a scale a solo originator could never match by hand.

06
Build
Follow-Up That Never Sleeps

The system top producers use to never drop a lead again — automated nurture built into your account, working while you sleep.

07
Break Free
Know Your Numbers & Scale

The math most originators can't answer — and how to build the machine so it runs without you at the center of everything.

08
Break Free
The Renegade Life

Your own deal flow, running independent of any single referral source. Graduation day — you walk out a Certified Renegade.

Each semester is a new transformation — the classes change, the mission never does.

Why a semester works

Information is cheap. Transformation isn't.

It's not the content — anyone can sell information. It's the classroom: a real schedule, real classmates, and the accountability that drags you across the line.

~15%
of people ever finish a self-paced online course. The rest rots in a browser tab.
85%+
finish a cohort-based program like this one — because nobody lets you disappear.
Option A

A self-paced course

  • Cheap, but you're on your own
  • Finished about 1 in 10 times
  • You only learn what you already knew to ask
  • Information, not transformation
Option B

1-on-1 coaching

  • Effective, but thousands a month
  • Isolating — just you and a coach
  • Limited to your own blind spots
  • No tribe, no momentum
The Renegade Semester

Learn & build together

  • + Twenty people's questions, not just yours
  • + We build the machine with you, live
  • + A team that won't let you slack
  • + You finish — and you walk out someone new
How we do it

You don't learn alone. You build — together.

This isn't a video library you watch by yourself at midnight. It's a live room, on the same schedule, building the same machine at the same time — and using each other to get there.

  • 01

    We build it WITH you. Every strategy gets constructed live and loaded into your CRM. You leave with assets, not homework.

  • 02

    Same schedule, same room. You start together and finish together. Shared deadlines are what actually get people across the line.

  • 03

    Classmates are the curriculum. "Who else has hit this — what did you do?" You learn from twenty people's questions, not just your own.

  • 04

    Accountability teams. You're assigned a team and you check on each other every week. Nobody quietly disappears.

  • 05

    It doesn't end at graduation. You move into the alumni nation — events, live hot-seat calls, and a room full of Renegades for life.

$3,600 of software.
Included. Built with you.

Tuition includes a full year of the RenegadeAI CRM — our white-labeled GoHighLevel platform. The software alone more than covers what you pay. We just build it with you instead of handing you a login and wishing you luck.

A note from Darin

I'm not selling tactics. I'm here to make you someone new.

Twenty-five years in this industry, a lot of them spent teaching and coaching. Here's what I learned: tactics don't change a business — people do. Hand someone the perfect playbook, and if they still see themselves as an order-taker waiting on referrals, nothing changes.

So that's what the Academy actually does. Yes — we build the ads, the AI, the follow-up, all of it, with you. But underneath that we're doing the harder work: turning you into the kind of operator who builds his own demand and never goes back. Come build it with us.
