We are fast-tracking the publishing of today's episode given the timeliness of the topic. On the Frogcast today we have Chad Bollinger, CFO of Credit Union of Colorado, to talk about yesterday's 50 basis point rate cut by the Fed. A WCMS graduate with the Theta class of 2010, Chad provides a great overview of the economic drivers impacting the Fed's decision and what credit unions might do in response and preparation for the next cut. Earlier in his career Chad was a Credit Union Examiner with the State of Colorado Division of Financial Services. As a result, our conversation expands to cover the viewpoint and approach with which Regulators might react to a volatile risk environment. If you are wondering what might be bouncing around inside the head of a CFO, or wanting to grow your own career in financial management, listen in and learn from one of the best CFO's in credit union land! Interviewers: Shonna Shearson and Nate Burns Producers: Ryan Kane and Steve Schmidle Supporting Cast: Robert York, Jeff Morris, Ryan Olsen, and James Wileman.

In support of those organizations that support WCMS and its alumni, the Frogcast will occasionally introduce our audience to the organizations that provide us with both financial and operational resources. Our first Business Partner guest is Ken Bator, President/CEO of Bator Training and Consulting Group and the Police Officers Credit Union Association. Ken works with many credit unions and industry organizations, including the WCMS Alumni Association, providing strategic planning leadership and insight. He speaks with us today to share what he calls the "Natural Laws of Business" and how credit unions might align their strategy differently when building their future business model. A career long credit union leader, Ken shares his unique view on what differentiates credit unions and their brands. Ken offers a free whitepaper that covers his approach to strategic planning. If interested, email him at kbator@btcinc.net.
The gang discusses two papers that look at the fossil frog record. The first paper identifies fossil frogs from Antarctica, and the second paper looks at some exceptional soft-tissue preservation. Meanwhile, James has ideas for expanding the brand, Amanda asks for clarification on an important topic, and Curt makes some executive decisions.  Up-Goer Five (James Edition): The group looks at two papers that are interested in animals that are wrong and good at jumping and live in the water but some can walk on land and climb trees. The first paper is looking at one from the very cold land in the bottom of the round thing we live on, where we do not find any of them today because it is too cold. The animal is known by two small bits but we can tell what type of jumping thing it is and so we know it is part of a group that is found in two areas that do not touch today, but the place at the bottom of the round thing we live on is between them, so that makes sense! But it is very cold today, so that is strange, but the animal being there and the things we find with it seems to show that is must have been a little hotter then. The second paper is looking at one of the animals that is good at jumping that is found with lots of round things that become babies in it. This is very cool because the animal is also still soft in places in it that means it was not the most grown it could be and so was making babies when it was still young. There is also a thought that the animal may have died while trying to make babies which is interesting.  References: Mörs, Thomas, Marcelo Reguero, and  Davit Vasilyan.

Today we are joined by Charlie Watts, President & CEO of Aurora Federal Credit Union in Colorado. Charlie joins the Frogcast to share his career story within our industry, starting with a corporate credit union, growing through a credit union CFO position, and all the way to the top seat as CEO. Filling the top seat at a smaller credit union brings its own set of challenges, and he explains to us how he has overcome the resource realities and limitations at a CU his size. WCMS has produced so many great leaders in our industry, and Charlie drank the WCMS kool-aid because of that and it's great reputation. Charlie is certainly considered among those ranks of our alumni - listen in and hear why! Interviewers: Shonna Shearson and Nate Burns Producers: Ryan Kane and Steve Schmidle Supporting Committee members: Robert York, Ryan Olsen, Jeff Morris, and James Wileman

This month we are flipping the script on our very own Shonna Shearson, and she doesn't see it coming. If you've listened before, you know that Shonna usually interviews our Frogcast guests alongside Nate. But in light of her exciting new career news we decided this was the month Shonna should be the guest, and we aren't going to tell her that until after we start recording. Shonna has served in leadership roles with Valley Strong Credit Union for the last 23 years, most recently as SVP of Operations, but in a few short weeks Shonna will begin serving as CEO for U.S. Community Credit Union in Sacramento. Since graduating from WCMS with High Honors Shonna has been a huge supporter of the school by being a project reader, serving on the Alumni Association Board, and becoming a podcast personality. In today's episode, after recovering from the surprise, Shonna discusses her journey to this point in her career, how she prepared for the opportunity to become CEO, and the impact WCMS had in her professional growth. If you are looking for an honest and enlightening story about one new CEO's path, and an unconventionally unrehearsed and unedited interview, this is your episode!
