“The institutions we will see win with AI will be the ones that use it to become more human.” - Laurie FlandersThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.My guest on today's show is Laurie Flanders, SVP of Client Experience & Growth at Strum Platform. She joins me for this episode to shed light on a common misconception about data: that collecting more of it automatically leads to better member experiences. Laurie challenges that assumption, exploring why data alone isn't enough. Instead, she explains what it takes for credit unions to transform information into meaningful action that delivers real value for members. She reflects on her unconventional career path from studying English to working in banking, risk management, branch operations, and ultimately helping credit unions strengthen relationships with members via technology.Throughout our conversation, Laurie explains why understanding data matters far more than simply having it and how disconnected systems often prevent institutions from delivering the experiences that members expect. We also discuss Strum Platform's new CRM built specifically for credit unions and why an approach focused on relationships looks very different from the sales-first CRMs that dominate the market. Laurie explains how bringing member information together in one place can help employees serve members more effectively without adding yet another complicated system to their daily workflow.As we wrap up the conversation, we turn to the timely topic of AI. Laurie makes the case that, rather than replacing employees, AI has the potential to eliminate tedious work, giving people more time to focus on what matters most: building genuine human connections. We discuss how credit unions can embrace emerging technology while staying true to the people-first philosophy that has always set them apart, and, of course, Laurie undergoes our usual round of rapid-fire questions.

When a client calls your business… what does your voice communicate? Confidence? Clarity? Chaos? Enjoyed talking with Nathan Strum, CEO of Abby Connect, about why the first 7 seconds of a call can shape lifetime value. Here are 3 takeaways: 1 - Culture Beats Training You can't script care. If the internal culture is strong, callers feel it immediately. 2 - AI Done Right Feels Human In a 500,000-call study, escalation rates were nearly identical between AI and live receptionists. When built around human experience, technology supports connection — it doesn't replace it. 3 - Your Phone Is a Revenue LeverEvery incoming call is a decision point. Handled well, it builds trust. Handled poorly, it sends them somewhere else. Most companies obsess over marketing. Few obsess over the moment someone actually reaches out. That moment? That's where growth compounds… or disappears. First impressions aren't small details. They're the foundation.   --- Nathan Strum is the CEO and co-founder of Abby Connect, where for the past 20 years, they've been helping small businesses make exceptional first impressions with professional, friendly receptionists who feel like part of their team. Now, they're taking that experience and expertise into the next chapter — combining human connection with the efficiency of AI through their new AI Receptionist. What's driving this shift? Small businesses need to be responsive 24/7, but they also want personal service that doesn't feel robotic. After 18 months of development and two months of real-world beta testing, we're excited to bring this hybrid approach to market — giving businesses the best of both worlds. As a founder who's spent two decades focused on customer experience, Nathan is passionate about technology that enhances service, not replaces it. I'm also learning that after 20 years behind the scenes, there's value in stepping out and sharing what they've learned along the way — especially at a time when AI is rewriting the rules of customer communication. -- Abby Connect is U.S.-based answering service that embodies the warmth and professionalism of a dedicated member of your team, always ready to help.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in the well-being of our community.   Food Insecure Households For many families in the U.S., the past several years have been difficult. Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as "food stamps," SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ • • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Abby Connect's CEO, Nathan Strum, reveals what separates successful AI implementations from failures: hybrid models that leverage both technology and human expertise. Their three-tier approach—human-only, AI-only, and hybrid service—addresses different customer needs. AI excels at routine inquiries and complex scheduling that would require extensive human training. Humans handle nuanced situations requiring empathy and creative problem-solving.

SummaryIn this conversation, Nathan Strum, founder of Abbey Connect, discusses the evolution of his company from a human receptionist service to integrating AI technology. He emphasizes the importance of company culture, effective communication, and the challenges of growth as a business. Strum shares insights on navigating gossip in the workplace, the significance of customer service, and the future of AI in enhancing customer experiences. He also highlights the value of hiring for personality and fostering entry-level talent to build a strong workforce.TakeawaysNathan Strum founded Abbey Connect 20 years ago, starting as a human receptionist service.The company has embraced AI technology to enhance its services.Customer service and company culture are core tenets of Abbey Connect's philosophy.Gossip can be detrimental to company culture and needs to be managed carefully.Growth phases require businesses to adapt their communication and HR strategies.AI is a powerful tool but has limitations that require human oversight.The phone remains a vital communication tool for businesses.Live chat widgets may not be as effective as expected for customer engagement.Hiring for personality over skills can lead to better employee retention and growth.Balancing innovation with operational stability is crucial for business success.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Nathan Strum and Abbey Connect04:43 The Journey of Entrepreneurship07:42 Core Philosophies and Company Culture10:52 Navigating Growth and Challenges13:54 Integrating Technology and AI16:44 Customer Communication Trends and Insights19:52 The Future of AI in Business25:01 The Evolution of Technology and AI26:34 Fostering Growth: The Importance of Entry-Level Employees30:17 Hiring for Personality: The Human Element in AI31:36 Melding Humanity and Technology: A New Relationship33:43 Learning from AI: The Balance of Innovation and Caution35:29 Leadership Challenges: Navigating Growth and Culture38:31 Balancing Innovation Speed with Operational Stability43:43 The Future of Customer Experience with AIConnect with Nathan: Website: ⁠https://www.abby.com/Credits:Hosted by Ryan RoghaarProduced by Ryan RoghaarTheme music: "Perfect Day" by OPM  The Eggs Podcast Spotify playlist:bit.ly/eggstunesThe Plugs:The Show: eggscast.com@eggshow on X and InstagramOn iTunes: itun.es/i6dX3pCOnStitcher: bit.ly/eggs_on_stitcherAlso available on Google Play Music!Mike "DJ Ontic": Shows and info: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠djontic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@djontic on twitterRyan Roghaar:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rogha.ar

“To connect with people emotionally is really the key to good work.” – Josh StreufertThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.My guest on today's show is Josh Streufert, Principal / Creative Director at Strum. Josh starts off by tracing his own path, which includes childhood dreams of archaeology, a strong Indiana Jones phase, film school, history studies, and eventually saying “yes” to a lot of opportunities that led him into creative leadership. It's a reminder that most meaningful careers aren't straight lines but are rather collections of curiosity, timing, and a willingness to try things before you fully know where they'll lead!In our conversation, Josh and I discuss what Strum does for credit unions and why branding is so much more than just logos and taglines. Josh shares a simple but powerful idea: when products are largely the same, people choose the organization they like best. From there, we get into how storytelling, creativity, and culture shape trust, loyalty, and the overall member experience. A big part of our discussion is also centered around change and burnout, with Josh introducing a mindset shift: moving from being a “gatekeeper” who protects the status quo to a “curator” who actively searches for better answers. He also talks about the concept of an “optimal rate of failure” and why failing occasionally isn't a weakness but evidence that you're still growing.As we wrap up the conversation, Josh shares how he manages a work-life balance, what book he would recommend reading, and why he idolizes a former high school teacher!

Echoes of Our Origins: Baboons, Humans, and Nature — Shirley C. Strum, with Cassandra Phillips — Johns Hopkins University Press — Hardcover — 978-1-4214-5203-6 — 376 pages — $32.95 — September 9, 2025 — ebook edition available. This book was a fantastic discovery for me. I consider myself fairly well read; I’ve studied anthropology extensively […] The post Shirley C. Strum: Echoes of Our Origins: Baboons, Humans, and Nature first appeared on WritersCast.

For decades, dominant narratives in evolutionary biology have told us that conflict, competition, and dominance are the fundamental drivers of social life — both in animals and humans. But what if that story is not only incomplete, but misleading? In this deeply reflective conversation, host Joseph Grove sits down with Dr. Shirley C. Strum, the pioneering primatologist behind “Echoes of Our Origins: Baboons, Humans, and Nature.” Drawing on more than 50 years of field research observing wild baboons in Kenya, Dr. Strum shares how her long-term work uncovered surprising truths about social life in one of our closest animal relatives — truths that have profound implications for how we understand evolution, intelligence, and ourselves. Rather than a world dominated by brute force, Dr. Strum's research reveals: Baboons rarely use violence — and only when it's strategically necessary. Social stability arises from predictability, cooperation, and enduring relationships. Female baboons are key to social continuity, not peripheral observers. Mistakes and adaptability — not “perfect optimization” — are part of survival. Grove and Dr. Strum also discuss how human cultural assumptions about gender, power, and competition have shaped scientific interpretations of animal behavior — and why those assumptions deserve scrutiny if we hope to move toward a more compassionate, accurate understanding of life on Earth. Whether you're fascinated by animal behavior, curious about the ethical implications of science, or simply interested in what other species can teach us about coexistence and resilience, this episode offers fresh insights and profound takeaways.

In this episode, Paul Andrews dives deep into the topic of free guitar lessons, exploring whether learning guitar from platforms like YouTube is truly “good enough” for beginners. He discusses the pros and cons of free online resources, the hidden costs attached, and why structured lessons might be the key to real progress.Key Topics CoveredCommunity UpdateRecap of the first-ever Sip and Strum event featuring “Zombie” by The Cranberries. Although there were audio issues with the event recording, the tutorial has been completely updated on the Beginner Guitar Academy website, now featuring playthroughs, slowed-down practice speeds, and backing tracks.Announcement of an upcoming live Q&A session on November 24th (9 pm GMT, 4 pm EST, 1 pm PST). Options to join live or pre-submit questions.Shout-out to community member Martin Fluke for earning a distinction in the Trinity College London performance exam. Details on how other students can pursue the exam.Main Topic: Are Free Guitar Lessons Good Enough?Advantages of free lessons: no cost, instant access, and a huge variety of content for beginners.The drawbacks of free lessons:Lack of Structure: Free lessons are generally aimed at gaining views rather than student progress. Many YouTube teachers are not trained educators, and lesson plans often lack a clear, progressive roadmap.Overwhelm and Confusion: Contradictory teaching methods and opinions can leave beginners confused. Without a reliable system, learning can feel random and ineffective.Poor Progress Tracking: There's little to no feedback or accountability with free resources, making it hard for students to recognize and correct mistakes—which often stifles progress.Hidden Marketing: Free lessons may come with advertising and may be designed to funnel viewers into paid products or courses.The value of structured guitar learning:A clear roadmap that builds skills in logical orderAccountability, community, and teacher feedbackConsistent practice and supportFeedback is crucial for identifying and fixing mistakesUsing free lessons properly:Great as supplementary resources or for inspiration and quick fixes, but shouldn't be your main learning path.Analogy: Treat structured lessons as your “main course” and free lessons as “dessert” for fun extras after you've built your foundation.Practical AdviceNew guitarists are encouraged to seek structured learning for foundational skills, then use free online lessons to spark inspiration and supplement their journey.If you feel stuck or are “spinning your wheels” with random YouTube videos, consider joining a structured program like Beginner Guitar Academy.Call to ActionReady to see the difference a structured program can make? Try out Beginner Guitar Academy for 14 days for just $1, including full access to lessons, community, and feedback.Visit beginnerguitaracademy.com to start your journey!Closing ThoughtsPaul Andrews emphasises that while free content can inspire and supplement your learning, achieving real progress on guitar requires structure, feedback, and community. He encourages listeners to balance their free online explorations with proper education for the best results.Next episode drops next Friday—make sure to tune in, keep practicing, and keep having fun with your guitar!

Roger Thurow a former Wall Street Journal reporter who wrote a series of stories on famine in Africa that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting. His reporting on humanitarian and development issues was also honored by the United Nations. He also recently penned the book, "Against the Grain." This week Thurow is speaking at Canvas 2025 in Salt Lake City. A conference covering innovation and emerging leaders in agronomy, crops, and soil sciences. Then, renowned anthropologist Dr. Shirley Strum joins the show to share more on her life's work with baboons. Dr. Strum is a professor of anthropology at the University of California, San Diego and the Director of the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project in Kenya. She has just written a new book titled, "Echos of Our Origins: Baboons, Humans, and Nature."

Shirley C. Strum is a primatologist, conservationist and author. In 1972 she began a study of olive baboons in Kenya that is ongoing and among the longest wildlife field studies on record. Her findings changed scientific and popular perceptions of baboons dominance hierarchies, male aggression, social conduct and troop structure, and the baboon mind. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Strum recounts her extraordinary fifty-year journey in Kenya alongside baboons, where she uncovered their unexpectedly complex strategies of negotiation, collaboration, and resilience in the face of adversity. From the evolution of social bonds and trust in baboon society to confronting the consequences of human-wildlife conflict, Strum describes how these primates transformed not just her scientific understanding, but also her perspective on life, people, nature, and evolution.

We talked about many musicians, including some of his collaborators and mentors including Terry Riley, Darol Anger, Roy “Futureman” Wooten, Mark Wood, and composers Roberto Sierra and John Adams. In this conversation one of the many topics we covered was the new concerto writtten for Tracy called “Ficciones” by Roberto Sierra. Finally, we dived into his creative process, how music affects our emotions, and how to stay open by listening to others, and learning to show up as ourselves.

"So I think this whole idea of cumulative culture is a way to make humans exceptional. But it's clear to me that humans are exceptional, and seeing it through baboon glasses, I can understand in a different way why they're exceptional. But many of the things that we think are uniquely human are actually present in other animals." - Dr. Shirley Strum Dr. Shirley Strum is a groundbreaking anthropologist who has spent over five decades living alongside wild baboons in Kenya. Her work has transformed our understanding of these intelligent, socially complex animals — their relationships, their adaptability, and the intricate societies they create. In her new book, Echoes of Our Origins, Shirley challenges long-held beliefs about evolution, the human-animal divide, and what it truly means to coexist. This conversation is about science — but it's also about humility, hope, and the messy, beautiful complexity of life on Earth.
