Show Notes

“It doesn’t have to be done or perfect to launch.” - Randy Smith

Welcome episode 53 of The CUInsight Experience podcast. The season one finale. Hosted by Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. This episode the tables are turned and Jill Nowacki, president and CEO of Humanidei (and my human), plays host and is putting me on the hot seat. Jill asks me all the questions I have asked my guests this last year on the show, along with a few little twists.

We talk about my favorite guests, episodes, and locations around the world where we have recorded podcasts this year; why being intentional with diversity and inclusion is so important to the podcast; and the advice I would give someone who is thinking of starting a podcast. We also talk about what credit unions need to do to stay relevant in today’s ultra competitive financial services space.

I discuss the early motivation David Miller and I had to create CUInsight and how we worked together over the years to make it what it is today. We talk about my leadership style (or lack thereof) and what I feel the greatest strength of the team is. I speak about how losing a promotion led me to where I am today, personally and professionally; the advice I was given early on; and what I do when I hit a wall and can’t quite figure out how to proceed.

Listen as I answer the rapid-fire questions I have asked our guests and what my final thoughts on the year are. If you have wanted to get to know me better, this is the episode you can’t miss. Jill gets me to lay it all on the line and let you know what our hopes for next year are.

Have a wonderful holiday season, and see you soon for the second season of The CUInsight Experience podcast January, 6th 2020. Enjoy!
