The thoughts inside the fascinating brain of speaker, author and advisor James Robert Lay are on full display in this episode of "Shared Accounts With CU Times." Lay, who is also founder and CEO of the Digital Growth Institute, has several specific ideas of ways today's credit union leaders can and possibly should be thinking about in our fast-moving digital world.
We talked about several items he wrote about in his new book "Banking on Change," including how credit union leaders can achieve exponential growth in the age of AI. Sure, that might sound scary, but this conversation is an honest chat that goes a lot deeper than most discussions happening in the credit union industry.
You are going to love this episode!
Did we also talk about the history of the world famous honky-tonk bar Gilley's, as featured in 1980's "Urban Cowboy"? Yes, yes we did.
Take a listen and thank you to our sponsor, Velera!
