| 6/22/26 | How Early Leadership Lessons Shape the Next Generation of Bankers | In this episode, Chris Nichols and Caleb Stevens sit down with Brennan Perkins, a recent Citadel graduate, to explore how early leadership experiences translate into a career in banking. From learning how to be an effective follower to leading peers under pressure, Brennan shares key lessons on servant leadership, attention to detail, and building influence without authority. The conversation highlights how discipline and structure can coexist with creativity and problem-solving, and why curiosity, humility, and a willingness to learn are critical for success early in a banking career.

| 6/15/26 | What Banks Can Learn from Trader Joes with DJ Seeterlin | In this episode, Chris Nichols and DJ Seeterlin explore what banks can learn from Trader Joe's approach to strategy, focusing on clear customer segments, intentional trade-offs, and delivering value over price.

| 6/8/26 | How to Shift from a "Debt Mindset" to "Equity Mindset" with Samer Saab | In this episode, Chris Nichols is joined by Samer Saab of Alloy Labs to explore the growing tension between a traditional "debt mindset" and a more forward-looking "equity mindset" in banking. While banks are built to minimize risk and protect principal, that same instinct can limit innovation, partnerships, and long-term growth. Samer shares practical ways banks can rebalance risk and reward by moving faster, experimenting more, and treating new initiatives as scalable capabilities rather than one-off projects.
