What happens when a community bank thinks beyond deposits and loans? Chad Hoffman, President of Richwood Bank, reveals the unexpected journey from traditional banking to becoming a true community cornerstone and industry disruptor.Growing up a farm boy who scraped hog barns in northern Union County, Chad never imagined leading a financial institution. Yet when tragedy struck his family in 1993, he found himself stepping into banking, eventually transforming a modest $68 million bank with 24 employees into a thriving $1.2 billion institution employing 210 people across nine locations.Chad explains how Richwood Bank pioneered an innovative in-branch coffee shop concept. Unable to sell products due to banking regulations, they created a donation model that benefits local nonprofits while attracting community members who might never otherwise enter a bank. This creative solution has generated nearly $1 million for community organizations while completely reimagining what a bank lobby can be.But the innovation didn't stop with coffee. Recognizing the varying needs of their small business clients, Richwood expanded into marketing services, payroll processing, and business consulting – all stemming from their deep commitment to helping local entrepreneurs succeed. As Chad puts it, "Stronger community businesses make stronger community banks."Throughout the conversation, Chad shares profound leadership insights gained over his 31-year banking career. From the importance of finding mentors to the transformative power of team recognition, he explains how his leadership philosophy evolved from numbers-focused to people-centered. His recommended reading list includes Patrick Lencioni, Simon Sinek, and Jocko Willink – authors who have shaped his understanding of purpose-driven leadership.Whether you're a small business owner, an aspiring leader, or simply someone who cares about community development, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how innovative thinking can revitalize traditional institutions.

In this episode of the Sound of Economics, we look at how Europe can attract and keep top-tier scientific researchers, especially given US political turmoil and the Trump administration's conflicts with higher education. Host Rebecca Christie speaks with Bruegel's Reinhilde Veugelers and Mario Mariniello, joined by Daniel Gros of the Institute for European Policymaking at Bocconi University, to discuss how the academic world is changing and what European authorities can do about it. Short-term funding incentives to attract scientists will help. But success requires long-term commitment to a research-friendly environment, such as the proposed Project Einstein initiative, to encourage top talent to put down roots. Relevant research: Mariniello, M. and Ruer, N.

In this heart-centered episode of Aspire to Lead, I'm joined by globally recognized speaker, educator, and author Angela Maiers to explore the movement that changed everything—#YouMatter. Angela shares the powerful story behind the origin of this global initiative and how a simple affirmation can shift mindsets, unlock potential, and ignite lasting change in students, educators, and communities. We unpack how leaders can go beyond surface-level praise to cultivate environments where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered. Angela also reveals how her workshops help people rediscover their purpose and reignite their passion for contribution, and we dive into her latest project—M is for Mattering, a science-based picture book designed to embed the language of significance in learners from the start. This episode is less of a conversation and more of a call to remember what we too often forget: that real leadership begins with seeing, hearing, and believing in the people right in front of us.

Episode Summary: Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) stand forth as one of the most important airpower developments of the twenty-first century. We learn more about CCA by talking to two of the people involved with developing and building them: Mike Atwood from General Atomics and Andrew “Scar” Van Timmeren of Anduril. CCA's ability to harness the traditional attributes of range, speed, survivability, and a broad range of mission effects with the power of autonomy, artificial intelligence, and manned-unmanned teaming will yield an incredibly powerful tool for airmen and the broader joint military enterprise. We explain this technological journey, explore where the program currently stands, and discuss the pathway for production, test, and initial operational fielding.

Whether you check your horoscope religiously or just know your sun sign and call it a day, this episode is for you. We're diving into astrology not as fate or fluff—but as a tool for clarity, confidence, and career alignment. Joining me is Tali Edut, one half of the iconic AstroTwins duo (yes, the astrologers behind Beyoncé's chart). Tali and her sister Ophira are celebrity astrologers, authors of over 20 books, and creators of the I*AM System—a framework that blends astrology with leadership and self-awareness. Their newest book, The Astrology Advantage: Use Your Horoscope for Personal and Professional Success, shows how your birth chart can help you navigate relationships, leadership, business, and life... without needing to memorize your moon sign. We unpack what it means to be an Innovator, Maven, or Authority (I'm an Authority, for the record), and how these archetypes can be your secret edge in work and in life. Think of this as astrology, upgraded—less “woo,” more who you are and how to own it.
