Glenn Stearns From underdog to Undercover Billionaire, Glenn Stearns began with the decks stacked against him with alcoholic parents, failing the 4th grade, and fathering a child at 14. Through grit and determination, he rose to become an industry leader in the mortgage world growing his namesake company to be the #1 mortgage lending company. He starred in the Discovery Channel’s reality TV show Undercover Billionaire following his 90-day journey to anonymously build a $1 million company equipped with $100, a pick-up truck, and a cellphone. After a brief sabbatical, he’s launching a new legacy, Kind Lending, to revolutionize the mortgage industry. Known for his philanthropy, Glenn is expanding to include mentorship through his podcast “Grit Happens.” He is a proud father of six and husband to Mindy Stearns.
