The CUInsight Experience
The CUInsight Experience podcast is hosted by Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. In each episode I have wide ranging conversations about credit unions, leadership lessons learned over a career, and life with leaders from the credit union community (and beyond). My goal is to take a deep dive with the people who make our movement great and find the gems we can all learn from.
