Today it was announced that both Addington Raceway and Riccarton Park will operate behind closed doors to the public during Cup Week in Canterbury in the second week of November. The lack of clarity around alert levels for Canterbury going forward has led to the racing clubs having no choice but to plan to race with access for industry members only, during a week which historically brings in thousands of visitors to the city. Darrin Williams is the Racing Industry Manager for Addington Raceway. He spoke to John MacDonald about the reasons for the decision and told him they left the decision as long as possible to try and get a clear picture of what restrictions would be in place on their biggest day of the year, New Zealand Trotting Cup Day.LISTEN ABOVE

Bubba O’Keefe stands on the stage of the Paramount Theater, backed by the banker who financed his acquisition, Darrin Williams, CEO of Southern Bancorp, appraising the damage, as if conjuring a poorly formed vision of what could be. Shortly after acquiring the old vaudeville theater which had been sitting empty in the center of Clarksdale, Mississippi, the roof collapsed, filling the theater with debris and opening it to the sky. O’Keefe is a big deal in this small town in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Once home to millionaire cotton farmers, Clarksdale is, like the rest of the Delta, about 80% African American. Its population of about 16,000 to 18,000 people, has been declining for decades. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2HgjGN2.

Ray Hoffman introduces Darrin Williams. Darrin Williams practices capitalism in places where capitalism is sorely needed — some of the poorest towns and neighborhoods of Arkansas and Mississippi, particularly in the Mississippi Delta. Darrin Williams left a promising career in law and politics to be the CEO of Little Rock-based Southern Bancorp, a bank on a mission, a mission to create economic opportunity. To learn about Darrin Williams, it may be best to go back about three decades. Key Takeaways: [:51] Darrin Williams was student body president at Little Rock Central High School. Governor Bill Clinton named him to a school advisory board. In high school, Darrin never had the intention to become CEO of a bank. His sights were on the law, and initially, he practiced law with an interest in politics. [1:42] At the age of two weeks, Darrin was adopted. His father was 55 and his mother was in her late 40s, so they were much older than his friends’ parents when he was growing up. A lawyer handled the adoption and continued to serve as the family’s lawyer through Darrin’s teens. He was a role model for Darrin. [2:11] In 2014, Darrin was President Pro Tempore of the Arkansas House of Representatives. He still had no interest in joining a bank. He had been a securities litigation attorney on the plaintiff’s side, suing banks in class action litigation. [3:10] Now that he is in the CEO position, it has been a wonderful opportunity. Southern Bancorp is a community development financial institution. Their focus is really on serving underserved communities. They lift communities and individuals to build their net worth. [4:06] Darrin is very focused on service. It is what drew him to law to start with, and now to a financial institution. He credits his minister father and schoolteacher mother with guiding his direction in a life of helping others. [5:20] Darrin believes he hit the parent lottery. He learned proper manners in a traditional upbringing. [6:03] As a young attorney, Darrin became chief of staff for Mark Pryor, the Arkansas State Attorney General elected in 1998. Darrin led a group of dedicated public servants who really cared about their clients. He witnessed practicing law from a client-focused perspective. [6:39] Darrin sees his time on the Attorney General’s staff as being significant preparation for becoming a CEO. [7:17] In 2012, Darrin learned about Southern Bancorp, Inc. when they approached him to discuss becoming CEO. He turned them down at the time in favor of continuing to practice law. However, he wanted to help and he joined the holding company board of directors. [7:58] As a board member, Darrin helped initiate the search for CEO. He did not know that six months later he would become the CEO. [8:20] Through his church, Darrin led a financial principles class, where he worked to help people understand how to be good stewards of their money. This experience also led him to see that so many people struggle financially unnecessarily because they don’t have the skills and resources, and were never taught how to use money well. [9:01] Darrin observed people were having significant improvements in their financial lives from taking the class, and Darrin thought he would like to teach about money full-time. When the CEO job was offered to him and Darrin turned it down, his wife reminded him of what he had said he wanted. He decided to take the CEO position. [9:36] Darrin talks about how a community development financial institution operates. By law, they have to commit to doing 60% of their activity in low-to-moderate income census tracts. Southern Bancorp primarily focuses on rural communities in the mid-south or poor urban areas, where other banks choose not to go. [11:16] In 16 of their markets, Southern Bancorp is either the only one or one of only two financial institutions offering access to capital in the community. [11:36] Studies show that the further away a business moves from capital and credit, the more they pay for capital and credit. [11:57] Darrin explains how Southern Bancorp's being one of two financial institutions leads to success for client businesses. He gives an example of their work in one community, and the programs they run and sponsor, even bringing a charter school to augment a failing school system. [13:39] In spite of the mass consolidation of banks, Southern Bancorp is in growth mode. They note where they are needed and they grow there. At every Southern Bancorp location, they have opportunity centers to meet the customers where they are. They have very skilled credit counselors. This is a free service, even to non-customers. [15:02] For the last 13 years, Southern Bancorp has provided free tax preparation services for thousands of customers. They make sure low-income people who qualify for the earned income tax credit know about it and apply for it. [15:53] Now you understand about Southern Bancorp being a bank on a mission? This is capitalism. Mentioned in This Episode: Southern Bancorp Mark Pryor Stephens.com This Is Capitalism
Joining Salena remotely from Little Rock, Arkansas is Darrin Williams. With an illustrious career as a public servant and a banker, Williams is the perfect guest for an eclectic host like Salena. The two discuss Williams’ personal mission to revamp the practice of exploiting lower income households with payday loans.
Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2AFLbKp. Jennifer Williams, a school teacher in Arkansas, has now paid off all nine of her payday loans and hasn’t had one outstanding now for two years. She’s a success story for Southern Bancorp. Modeled on Shore Bank, which failed during the Great Recession, Southern Bancorp was organized by a collection of Arkansas’s most prominent people, including then Governor Clinton and Rob Walton, a member of the Walton family. Unlike Shore Bank, Southern Bancorp is profitable and growing today. “Governor Clinton wanted to create economic opportunities and stimulate the economy in Arkansas’s delta region, one of the most persistently poor communities in all of America,” says today’s CEO Darrin Williams. He notes that Hillary Clinton served on the founding board of directors for the bank. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2AFLbKp.
