This week was full of new radio shows including two on Monday and another on Wednesday. I have included direct links to each show or you can listen via the embedded player on the right for about a week.
Monday started off with the weekly show, CU Water Cooler Liquid Lunch with fellow editor, Jimmy Marks. We briefly discussed International Credit Union Day and then moved on to juicier topics including: Wag, the bank for dog fanatics, and Ron Shevlin's blog post, Bank Transfer Day Needs A New Name. Jeff Stephens, the creative mind behind Wag, wrote a blog post in response to the show.

Later on Monday, CU Chat Up looked outside the credit union industry to discuss the current hot topic of consumers moving their money from big banks to credit unions. Natalie McNeal, the Frugalista and author of The Frugalista Files, stopped by to discuss her insights into why consumers are moving their accounts, what they are looking for in a credit union, and helpful hints for credit unions during this time. She was joined by Ondine Irving, Credit Credit Card Connection and Bryan Clagett, Geezeo, who discussed what they are seeing from consumers as well.

On Wednesday, two of the Next Top Credit Union Executive finalists stopped by to talk about their amazing projects:
- Amanda Thomas (Marketing and BD Manager, Members First CU) - Her project is to create "culture standards" at her CU.
- Alexia Mavrakes (Marketing Manager, Aspire CU) - Her project is to implement a sales culture in a service environment.
They share what they have learned through their projects and some insights into changing the culture at a credit union.

This was a fill week of credit union insights. Please listen to one or all the shows and share your thoughts in the comments! When I went to embed the shows, the ad playing before the shows ... Chase Bank. I don't have control over those ads, but find it humorous.
