Jeff Arnold's career in the Insurance Joint Ventures vertical started completely by accident. After serving our wonderful nation in the United States Army, he pursued Drama & Acting and was returning from Hollywood ( North Hollywood, NOT The Glamorous Part You Are Thinking About ) to visit his Mom in Tucson Arizona. He had been doing minor local tv stuff, stand-up comedy in different clubs throughout the southwest, and a few military base tours. He had zero gigs lined up and needed to ( eat, pay rent, put gas in the car, etc ). So, like any young man desperate for work, he responded to an ad for Insurance Salesman in beautiful Tucson Arizona. From day one of his new career, he was hooked. He could not read enough, learn enough, or digest enough about this wonderfully exciting industry you casually refer to as Insurance, but he calls giver of life, dream fulfilled, and industry of all things sexy, exciting, and just plain awesome. With the same missionary zeal of the preachers in his family and the military discipline from other parts of his family, he began to tell everyone about Insurance. He also began to apply this crazy theory of Entrepreneurship to insurance and his first joint ventures were born. Jeff has been fortunate to do joint ventures with Banks, Credit Unions, Mortgage Firms, Online Search Engines, Auto Dealerships, Privately Held Money Funds, Publicly Traded Aggregators, and some really neat Reinsurance stuff with billion-dollar companies. Let's listen to his intriguing and inspiring story... _____________________________________________________   Rajeev Mudumba's Website: www.planb.live   Plan B Success Podcast: Available on your favorite platform including iTunes @ https://apple.co/2JCSysL?ls=1 or www.planbsuccess.live or www.planb.live   https://www.planbsuccessschool.thinkific.com - You can be a successful Entrepreneur and can do a LOT with your very own podcast.

After years of throwing the CECL “Message in a Bottle” back into the ocean, the Credit Union industry now must comply and set money aside from every loan in case things go sour.  Is this rainy day fund just in time, or will this regulation hinder the growth of Credit Unions big and small?  Michael Cochrum pilots the ship in this week's episode. He breaks down the history of CECL, how to use data to comply with the requirement, and talks about his professional data journey in the CU Movement.  Michael has worked in the Credit Union space for 32 years, most notably with the CUSO, CUDL, and is now the owner of Creative Market Resource Group, INC (CRMG Solutions) and CUBI.PRO, helping Credit Unions with data and business intelligence, among many other things.  Is building this “Ark”-a-techture (see what we did there) going to help stave off the impending financial flood, or will the funds required pull smaller CU's further under the surface?  Tune in and find out.

Lucky you. You negotiated a satisfactory SERP (Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) or maybe it was a 457F bonus package.Just one problem: Ballooning prices in today's economy coupled with the fast paced growth many credit unions have experienced in the past five years probably have rendered those plans as woefully too small.Remember, the standard goal of much retirement planning is to give the retired executive an income equal to about 65% of his/her last three years' income.Plans that fall well shy of that mark make for unhappy retirees.Such plans - if offered in a package to help hire new c-suite executives - will likely fall significantly short of offers from other suitors.Are you stuck with that outdated plan? In this episode of Money Talks, Kirk Kordeleski, past CEO of Bethpage Credit Union, one of the nation's biggest, and now a consultant specializing in retirement plans with OM Financial.Want to know more about SERPs - or other matters raised in this podcast? Email Kordeleski Kkordeleski@om-financial.comThis show is in a Money Talks series where credit union compensation is untangled.  This show will help some executives negotiate better pay packages and will also help some board members understand the ways in which 2022 credit union compensation is utterly different from 1992 comp plans, even 2012 plans because now competition for talent is so much fiercer.Hear episode one in Money Talks here.  Episode 2 is here.

In the big picture, Trellance provides solutions and consulting to guide credit unions in member experience improvements and data migration to cloud-based strategies.During our conversation, Stef explains why becoming a data-driven credit union includes more than technology.

 Here is where the pedal hits the metal. In this show credit union executive retirement compensation expert Kirk Kordeleski tells how the credit union senior executives can persuade their board to agree to market rate retirement plans that may well involve multiple millions of dollars for the executive team.That's big money. It takes a smart argument to persuade. Kordeleski tells the argument and, in a bonus, he tells how he in fact convinced the board of Bethpage Credit Union to enact a market rate retirement plan for Kordeleski and other senior executives.This is not blue sky hypothesizing. This is a genuine playbook. Kordeleski has been in these trenches - and he's here to report on what worked.But the show isn't just for senior credit union executives. Board members too need to listen, to discover how compensation at credit unions with a strategy for success have to come together.Listen up.Want to know more about SERPs - or other matters raised in this podcast?

With a decrease in deposits and lending activity, credit unions face a new set of challenges in today's economic environment that require strategic, proactive planning. During periods like this, “just-in-time” capital may provide the peace of mind credit unions need to pursue a necessary merger or acquisition, create organic growth, increase their net worth, or spend for other purposes. Credit unions can access this kind of capital in the subordinated debt (sub-debt) markets but is today's higher interest rate environment the right time to issue sub-debt? We introduced the benefits of credit unions issuing sub-debt on the podcast in 2021. Podcast guest Jeff Cardone, partner at Luse Gorman, returns to the show to give Doug an update on the sub-debt capital markets and what credit unions should think about when planning around today's issues. Stream the episode to learn more about the value of sub-debt, why a credit union may consider getting pre-approval as soon as possible, and why sub-debt may be attractive in today's market environment.

Credit unions have a significant opportunity to use data to help and educate their members, yet 70 percent of credit unions don't have a data strategy. Many executives may point to the monetary cost of implementing such a plan, but what are the hidden costs of ignoring it? Anne Legg , Founder of Thrive Strategic Services , tells us why more credit unions should implement a data strategy to ease their members' friction points. Join us as we discuss: The typical timeline for implementing a successful data strategy (14:27) Benchmarking institutional data culture and consumption (20:19) Cost of action versus inaction when budgeting a data strategy (27:44) Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast: Anne Legg Thrive Strategic Services Twitter You can find this interview and many more by subscribing to Banking on Digital Growth on Apple Podcasts , on Spotify , or here .

James White believes that the answer is in the data and he insists that credit unions already have plenty of data to fuel  enormous leaps in member engagement.  And the company where he now works -Total Expert where he is industry principal for banks and credit unions - has plenty of tools to help a credit union get with 21st century marketing techniques.Lots of credit unions still are skittish about newstyle marketing but face reality: competitors from Bank of America to Apple to Venmo all are winning increasing shares of member business and they are doing it by unleashing contemporary marketing tools.Case in point: do you know when a member lists his/her house for sale? You should because that is a prime moment to contact that member and explore his interest in a new mortgage. Total Expert has tools that make this easy and White tells about them.Another case: what is your institution doing to prepare for an enormous transfer of wealth in the coming years as Baby Boomers die? Will those assets remain at your credit union when it becomes the property of heirs? White explores this in the podcast.In one respect this is a show about big data but White never mentions Hadoop, Spark or any of the techie tools. What he talks about instead is how credit unions can put data to practical use.  You don't need a propeller cap to get what he is talking about because this is a show filled with practical observations and tips that are meant to help credit unions compete.Did we mention that some of the nation's very biggest credit unions use these Total Expert tools?  But so do institutions that are much smaller.Consider this a master class in the practical applications of big data.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Your credit union should not be an obstacle; it should open doors and provide a clear path. Can it help you create greater efficiency and security in your banking? Can it provide a reliable and predictable source of capital for your business? Does your credit union find smart ways to put cash reserves to work?

She is also on the Executive Committee of the CUNA Board of Directors. Recently, Caroline and I, along with others, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro for Climb Africa to benefit The ACCOSCA Academy. Caroline shares, “What started as an adventure, turned into becoming a better global citizen,” when discussing her takeaways from visiting the growing continent and supporting Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs). Caroline discusses all that went into this six day climb and surprisingly, while training for the physical aspect, she noticed it was much more of a challenge mentally. She explains how leadership lessons emerged through this adversity.During our conversation, Caroline talks about a possible merger in the future and how this will benefit the efficiency and culture of the association.  She also talks about the biggest challenges that credit unions are facing and how they must continue to evolve in order to overcome these challenges. Caroline connects the work of SACCOs in Africa to credit unions in the U.S and believes they are similar in mission, purpose, and the means to provide a meaningful solution. Caroline and I chat about the greatest investment made in her career that is attributed to personal growth. We talk about the value of teams including what she looks for when adding to her team and the importance of open communication and accountability within it. As the league continues to grow, Caroline shares what has her excited and how it will benefit credit unions and their members. As we wrap up the show, Caroline talks about what amazed her recently, watching the sun come up on Mt. Kilimanjaro, work-life balance, and an insightful piece of advice from her mother.

Today's credit union leadership - especially at the nation's best and biggest credit unions- is professional and deeply versed in financial services. But that wasn't always so in credit union land. This episode opens with Kirk Kordeleski - onetime CEO at Bethpage Federal Credit Union, one of the nation's biggest, and now an executive at OM Financial Group, which specializes in SERPs which are building block retirement plans for key credit union executives - giving us a history lesson on the five generations of credit union leadership. He starts way back when everybody was a volunteer and takes us to today where we now are moving into a sixth generation of post Baby Boomer leadership.  Then we take up what has become a challenge in many credit unions' budgeting: payroll in general and executive salaries and total comp in particular.  What Kordeleski says boils down to this: in most cases nowadays you get what you pay for.And today credit unions need exceptional leadership as we shift into an environment of inflation, possible recession, and where liquidity is a key but liquidity also often is hard to come by.Remember, this is the onetime CEO of one of the nation's biggest - and most aggressive - credit unions and he is offering what amounts to free consulting insights.Take notes, it's all good stuff.You may not always agree with Kordeleski but you will learn from him.Listen up.Want to know more about SERPs - or other matters raised in this podcast? Email Kordeleski Kkordeleski@om-financial.comThis show is in a Money Talks series where credit union compensation is untangled.  This show will help some executives negotiate better pay packages and will also help some board members understand the ways in which 2022 credit union compensation is utterly different from 1992 comp plans, even 2012 plans because now competition for talent is so much fiercer.Hear episode one in Money Talks here.  Episode 2 is here.
