We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.In this episode, we are talking about Type 2 Fun—experiences which feel miserable in the moment but become cherished memories later on—and we share some personal stories that, while difficult at the time, ultimately led to growth and incredibly meaningful connections!We explore why discomfort is necessary for personal and professional development—without facing challenges and pushing past our comfort zones, we can't build the necessary resilience to take on challenges in the future. We highlight the importance of leaders normalizing discomfort in the workplace and celebrating the accomplishments that come from it, ultimately supporting their teams through the difficult moments.Our conversation also touches upon building a culture that embraces growth via challenges. We discuss strategies for hiring and retaining team members who are willing to step outside their comfort zones, as well as the pitfalls of trying to create an environment of constant "Type 1 Fun." We ultimately come to the conclusion that the stories and memories we cherish most often come from those Type 2 Fun experiences—the ones that push us to our limits but leave us stronger and more connected on the other side.We encourage you to reflect on your own Type 2 Fun moments, recognize the value in the discomfort, and build teams and organizations that can navigate those growth-inducing challenges together.

The economist Austin Hughes compiles the report for the Credit Unions and joined Joe this morning.

TFCU serves Air Force personnel, employees of more than 2,200 area companies, and residents across Oklahoma and Texas, with more than $6.1 billion in assets and over 470,000 members as of mid-2025.

Before joining TFCU in 2022, she built a career spanning two decades in public policy and nonprofit leadership, including senior roles at Oklahoma's Department of Human Services and in the offices of Governors Mary Fallin and Mike Huckabee. In this episode… What really makes credit unions stand apart in today's financial landscape? Unlike traditional banks, they operate with a mission-driven, member-owned model that brings unique challenges and opportunities when navigating complex regulations and legislative environments. But how do these institutions ensure their voices are heard when laws are written and policies are shaped? According to Keili McEwen, a seasoned leader in public policy and advocacy, it starts with building strong relationships and consistently educating lawmakers about the credit union difference. She highlights that effective influence requires both deep subject matter expertise and a clear understanding of what motivates decision-makers. By aligning credit union priorities with the values and agendas of policymakers, Keili notes, it becomes possible to secure meaningful change for members.

Send us a textYou might know it as the dismal science, but a conversation with Bill Handel, Chief Economist of Raddon, a Fiserv company, is anything but dismal.  It in fact is an enlightening romp through the complexities and confusions of today's global economy.In the show Handel makes a prediction about the future of interest rates - and, no, don't expect an imminent return of 4% 30 year fixed rate mortgages.  He also talks about how young adults are adjusting their financial habits to navigate today's economy.Importantly, too, Handel explains what is going on in the White House's attempt to reset the global economy - and he indicates that the present economy is something of an artifact of the aftermath of World War II so there are reasons to think a reset is in order.But how is a credit union CEO supposed to navigate in a global economy that is filled with uncertainties? Handel's advice is to create plans that feature built in flexibility - because, really, you don't know where interest rates will be a year from now.  Staying flexible will be key to succeeding, he says.Handel also says that the operating margins of credit unions have to improve.  Period.  He tells why in the show.Dismal science? Not in this show.  Here, economics becomes an exciting tool for navigating what's coming at us.Listen upListen up.Like what you are hearing? Find out how you can help sponsor this podcast here.

“When we have presence, it creates space for trust, clarity, and a real, true connection.” - Jill NowackiWelcome to episode 217 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your hosts, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com, and Jill Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei.This episode is sponsored by The Sheeter Group - a leading executive benefits firm that meets your retention and succession needs.

We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.In this episode, we discuss all things presence and the importance of being present as a leader. Presence is the ability to truly show up mentally, emotionally, and energetically for your team and organization, and it's something that all leaders struggle with at one point in time or another, ourselves included. We discuss how a leader's presence shapes the team—without it, distractions, rushed decisions, and confusion take hold, but with it, trust, clarity, and connection flourish.We also highlight the need for leaders to be intentional about creating space in their schedules, setting boundaries, and resisting the impulse to jump between tasks or immediately respond to messages. Listen as we share some personal stories and insights around the struggle to disconnect, stay focused, and resist the urge to constantly check devices.We ultimately conclude that while presence may be one of the most overlooked leadership skills, it is also one of the most impactful, and by committing to regular practice and creating the conditions to truly show up and be present, leaders can unlock new levels of focus, connection, and effectiveness for themselves, their teams, and their organizations! We hope that you enjoy our conversation on presence!Find the full show notes on cuinsight.com.Subscribe on: Apple Podcasts and SpotifyAudiobook mentioned: An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization by Robert Kegan, Lisa Laskow, et al.Previous guests mentioned: Leo Ardine (episodes 21 & 150)
