Traditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience. Succession and mentorship are vital to cultivating the next generation of leaders. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Harry L.

With more than 250 locations throughout the United States and Canada, mobile office and storage solutions company WillScot Mobile Mini was working with an on-premises system that couldn’t provide an integrated view across its back office.

This week, we’ll chat with Tim Gruidl, president of Fishbowl Solutions, about how he partnered with power tool manufacturer, ECHO-USA, to improve their live chat, leading to an overall improvement in customer experience. Last year, as more people were working from home and wanted to look out of their windows to see well-manicured yards, ECHO’s customer load increased by more than 300%.
