Brett Child shared thisJon and I worked together for several years and would be a great asset to any organization. If you have an opening I highly recommend Jon!Brett Child shared thisAs a husband and father of 5 children, it's scary to get laid off. Just yesterday I found out that my company laid off a bunch of positions including mine. I hope to find a job that's a good fit for me, but most of all, I don't want to let down this beautiful group of humans who depend on me. I have confidence that my design and leadership skills are needed in the market right now, and I have tons of relevant experience, I just need to find the right opening. Please let me know if you're down for meeting up or just talking about potential UX Design leader/manager positions on your radar. I'd love to connect. Or just share this post. #uxdesign #leadership #job #love

Brett Child shared thisLearned great insights this morning from Chip and Joanna Gaines: “in the past, it was what if you lose all this, but the older I get it it’s why not give it a try, why not go all in.” I am reflecting on their comments, and asking myself what is holding me back? #qualtricsx4 #jo&chipgaines

Brett Child posted thisDo you own a small business that had employees in 2020 & 2021? If so, then it is possible you may qualify for the Employee Retention Credit. Please message me to help explain details of this program and determine if your business qualifies. Lendio has funded over $10 Billion from the government CARES Act over the last 2 years, and we would love to help get your small business funding from this program. #SMB #smallbusiness

Brett Child shared thisGlad to have this amazing team joining the Lendio Family. We are thrilled at the opportunity that this acquisition and team bring to Lendio.Brett Child shared thisThrilled to be announcing that Lendio has acquired the assets of Laso! 🔥🙌🏽 We’ve known the team at Laso for a long time and have always been blown away with their ability to leverage large data sets for AI-powered and automated underwriting. Not only is it extremely unique to others in the market, it is EXACTLY what financial institutions need to go digital. We already have many lenders looking to get help to automate and underwrite their smaller, unsecured, SMB loans. Through this transaction, it will allow us to accelerate those conversations. We’re excited to add Jay McLain, Jim Chonko, and many others to the Lendio team. #lendio #ai #underwriting #businessloans #sba #acquisition

Brett Child liked thisBrett Child liked thisBeen seeing a lot of humble posts about being in the Utah “40 under 40.” Truly is a cool thing. Even though I’m not close to the number, I’m wondering if anyone knows if there is “70 under 70” nomination. I want to make sure I do enough before then to hit that hard. No?

Brett Child liked thisBrett Child liked thisMy daughter, Savanna, graduated from BYU’s entrepreneurship program, and I’m proud of her! If you’re a 20-something, one of the most important things you can do to increase your chances of success and happiness in adulthood is graduate from college. Data confirms this. Education matters, especially if you’re an entrepreneur, despite what LinkedIn posts tell you. Yes, there are high-profile exceptions, but if you look at the data across thousands of companies, especially those that have raised significant capital or reached scale, their founders over-index on undergraduate and graduate degrees. There are a few reasons college matters: First, networks. One of the highest-leverage assets an entrepreneur has is access to people: co-founders, early employees, investors, and advisors. Universities compress decades of relationship-building into a few formative years. Networks compound over time, which makes a strong early network especially valuable. Second, signaling. Whether we like it or not, degrees, especially from strong institutions, act as a filter for investors, partners, and early hires. Third, capability building. Universities have spent centuries mastering teaching students structured problem-solving, exposure to different disciplines, and engagement with complex ideas. Fourth, proximity to talent and ideas. Universities are dense ecosystems of ambition, experimentation, and collaboration. This doesn’t diminish that entrepreneurship ultimately comes down to execution, resilience, and vision. School isn’t everything, but it’s a significant advantage. Young people, you will get to work for 50 years of your life. It will be wonderful, but there’s no rush. Enjoy these short, very special, and fun years in school, and finish what you start!

Brett Child liked thisBrett Child liked this(Slight rant) Most people who own a business have had a shitty lending experience. Last year we funded nearly $750M in deals. To do that, we work with a lot of lenders and partners. Which also means I talk to new lenders almost every day. A lot of them promise the sun, moon, and stars. Then I dig a little deeper and find out they fund four deals a year. At that point, I walk away. If you're actually deploying capital, great let's talk. If not, don’t waste people’s time.

Brett Child liked thisBrett Child liked thisOne of the biggest boosts in my career didn’t come from a promotion. It came from recognition. While working at Lendio, I was awarded Employee of the Year and invited on a President’s Club trip to Costa Rica. It wasn’t just a vacation—it was an opportunity to spend a week alongside top performers and company leaders. That time together created deeper relationships, sparked new ideas, and gave me a better understanding of the business from multiple perspectives. The trip was unforgettable for the beaches, volcano views, and rainforest adventures—but the real value came from the conversations. Sometimes the best professional growth happens outside the office.

I read it through twice, laughed/snorted so hard I dropped my phone, then read it one more time just to make sure I didn't misunderstand anything.
