As we move into 2026, The Sip is back. After a short pause, the show returns as a steady space for practical conversation, shared perspective, and thoughtful discussion around the work shaping the mortgage industry. Each episode is designed to feel familiar and useful, the kind of dialogue that happens when leaders take time to compare notes and learn from one another.
At The Mortgage Collaborative, our focus remains consistent. We exist to support our members and partners by creating room for real conversations that lead to better decisions and stronger outcomes. Our first episode of the year reflects that intention, and we are pleased to open 2026 with an episode sponsored by Lendware, formerly known as Aidium.
A Conversation With Josh Glantz, CEO of Lendware
This episode features Josh Glantz, CEO of Lendware. Josh joins us at an important point in the company’s evolution. With more than three decades of experience building and leading vertical SaaS organizations, his background brings operational depth and long-term perspective to the role.
During the conversation, Josh shares how Lendware has narrowed its focus, refined its product direction, and clarified how it serves loan officers day to day. The discussion reflects a broader theme many lenders recognize: progress often comes from simplifying priorities and committing to what serves users best.
How Lendware Is Supporting Loan Officers
Lendware’s work centers on helping loan officers manage relationships more effectively. Its CRM platform is designed to support daily workflow, reduce friction, and surface insights that help lenders stay connected to their clients over time.
Josh also introduces Lendware Predict, a tool built to help loan officers better understand their existing databases. By using data to identify likely opportunities within current relationships, the platform supports more focused outreach and more efficient use of time.
Rebranding With Purpose
The transition from Aidium to Lendware reflects more than a new name. It represents a reset in how the company shows up, communicates its value, and aligns its product vision with the needs of lenders today. That commitment to clarity and intention mirrors the work many organizations across our network are doing right now.
Looking Ahead
As lenders continue evaluating technology that supports efficiency, consistency, and growth, Lendware’s roadmap offers several developments to watch in 2026. Planned enhancements include a mobile experience designed to simplify engagement and make client insights more accessible within daily routines.
