Episode Transcription

1

00:00:08,808 --> 00:00:11,811

You're listening to the Cashology

podcast by FNBO,

 

2

00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:15,648

a place dedicated to helping you

become more financially savvy every day.

 

3

00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:18,852

It's a little like school,

but your only homework is living your best

 

4

00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:19,919

financial life.

 

5

00:00:19,919 --> 00:00:22,922

I'm your host,

Justin, and class is now in session.

 

6

00:00:24,891 --> 00:00:28,461

Hey, podcast listeners,

I had an absolutely wonderful time

 

7

00:00:28,461 --> 00:00:31,798

talking with Chris,

and we even got to talking to more things

 

8

00:00:32,132 --> 00:00:35,402

after we

you know, hit the stop recording button.

 

9

00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:38,538

So I do hope you take some time

pop into the show notes.

 

10

00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:44,411

Chris had some really great resources of

other comparators of how, you know, U.S.

 

11

00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:48,415

adults, compare as it relates

to financial literacy to other countries.

 

12

00:00:48,415 --> 00:00:52,052

So lots of great things that Chris had

and brought to the table.

 

13

00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:54,454

Unfortunately, we just didn't

get it all in the recording.

 

14

00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:55,955

So I hope you take some time

 

15

00:00:55,955 --> 00:00:59,192

to, pop into the show notes

and and see some of that stuff.

 

16

00:01:01,261 --> 00:01:02,429

Welcome back to the cash

 

17

00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:06,099

Ology podcast, a place where we dive

deep into personal finance

 

18

00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:09,102

to bring you actionable insights

and real life wisdom.

 

19

00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:12,305

Today we're joined by Chris Turner,

 

20

00:01:12,305 --> 00:01:15,341

who is the Community Reinvestment

Act officer here at FNBO.

 

21

00:01:15,341 --> 00:01:19,112

She has dedicated herself

to increasing financial education

 

22

00:01:19,112 --> 00:01:21,214

and literacy in the next generation.

 

23

00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:25,885

And well, we felt the perfect person

to talk to about this topic.

 

24

00:01:25,885 --> 00:01:28,822

Welcome, Chris Hi there.

Thanks for having me.

 

25

00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:30,323

Yeah, thanks for being here.

 

26

00:01:30,323 --> 00:01:32,392

Well, let's start with this.

 

27

00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:35,862

Tell us a little bit about yourself

and explain what you do

 

28

00:01:35,862 --> 00:01:37,831

and why we're talking about today:

 

29

00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:41,634

Enhancing financial literacy

in school is so important.

 

30

00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:42,302

All right.

 

31

00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:45,305

So, I have always been in banking.

 

32

00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:49,142

everything from a teller

to HR to compliance.

 

33

00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:52,479

And I think that, over the years,

I've been able to touch

 

34

00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:55,482

on financial education

with lots of different groups.

 

35

00:01:55,582 --> 00:01:58,218

it's something that I feel

is extremely important.

 

36

00:01:58,218 --> 00:02:01,221

One, because I see it in society

and I see where it lacks.

 

37

00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:05,058

also, I'm a mom of three kids,

and so I want to make sure that as

 

38

00:02:05,391 --> 00:02:08,361

they are

moving into the next phase of their lives

 

39

00:02:08,361 --> 00:02:11,131

and they're becoming

financially responsible adults.

 

40

00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:14,434

So, something that I'm very,

very passionate about.

 

41

00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:15,135

Very cool.

 

42

00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:15,468

And, you know,

 

43

00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:19,205

I can relate to, you know, just like

growing up, getting out of college,

 

44

00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:22,742

becoming like an adult, you know,

quote unquote, and then just realizing,

 

45

00:02:23,109 --> 00:02:27,147

oh, man, all this finance stuff

nobody, like, ever really taught us about,

 

46

00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:30,650

you know, balance a checkbook or

like anything like that throughout school.

 

47

00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:32,552

So I think it's

great to be passionate about,

 

48

00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:35,321

all this stuff.

 

49

00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:38,191

speaking about all that,

I found a statistic that two

 

50

00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:41,895

thirds of American adults cannot pass

a basic financial literacy test.

 

51

00:02:42,095 --> 00:02:43,897

What's your response to that?

 

52

00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:47,967

I mean, it's shocking,

but I actually think it's probably,

 

53

00:02:49,102 --> 00:02:51,571

even worse than what that statistic shows.

 

54

00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:54,340

So, I find it very interesting.

 

55

00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:55,942

I was reading an article recently.

 

56

00:02:55,942 --> 00:03:00,914

I think it was done in early 24,

and they said that 46% of American adults,

 

57

00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:07,020

only 46% of American adults, can cover

a $1,000 emergency with their savings.

 

58

00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:07,754

Oh my gosh.

 

59

00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:09,923

You know, like,

think of all the things that come up,

 

60

00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,159

car repairs

or home repairs or medical bills.

 

61

00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:17,130

And that's really scary to think

that there are such a large population

 

62

00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:20,366

of people out there that haven't been able

to get to a comfortable

 

63

00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,403

point in life where they can afford that,

that thousand dollars.

 

64

00:03:23,436 --> 00:03:24,070

Totally.

 

65

00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:27,840

And like I, I myself,

we just bought a house and you know,

 

66

00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:31,711

you save up for this stuff,

but oh my gosh, one thing

 

67

00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:35,648

after the other kind of just comes up

and it's it's very daunting.

 

68

00:03:35,648 --> 00:03:38,184

And yeah, you don't really know

that stuff is going to happen.

 

69

00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:40,653

And so $1,000 is right.

 

70

00:03:40,653 --> 00:03:42,789

You know, kind of like seems

I don't know like not a lot.

 

71

00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:44,357

But it's kind of unfortunate.

 

72

00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:48,027

It's oh it's hard to, you know, budget

for that and make sure you have that.

 

73

00:03:48,361 --> 00:03:52,632

So I guess from what I can tell,

this is clearly a big problem.

 

74

00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:56,769

Can you tell us a little bit about

the current state of financial education?

 

75

00:03:56,769 --> 00:03:59,973

And maybe we work towards

some possible ways to solve the problem?

 

76

00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:00,540

Certainly.

 

77

00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:05,078

So, I think the attention on financial

education has continued to improve,

 

78

00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:10,183

not only across, banks

but across other businesses as well.

 

79

00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:13,086

They're seeing that

as they're hiring in employees.

 

80

00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:13,953

Obviously,

 

81

00:04:13,953 --> 00:04:15,588

they may have all the training

that they need,

 

82

00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:18,291

but you want an employee

that can follow a budget or an employee

 

83

00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:22,195

that knows how to balance,

you know, their employee accounts

 

84

00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:25,732

as far as, their pay cards, right,

if they're out traveling.

 

85

00:04:26,132 --> 00:04:28,801

So I think some of the things

that we're starting to see,

 

86

00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:31,804

especially in the last couple of years,

are really, really positive.

 

87

00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:36,676

I noticed that, like here I live in Kansas

City and Kansas is one of the

 

88

00:04:36,676 --> 00:04:40,647

of only 25 states that requires

financial education in high school.

 

89

00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:41,981

So think about that.

 

90

00:04:41,981 --> 00:04:45,251

50 states in the union

and only 50% of them require

 

91

00:04:45,251 --> 00:04:48,721

a credit in financial education

to graduate from high school.

 

92

00:04:49,922 --> 00:04:51,391

that's a little scary, right?

 

93

00:04:51,391 --> 00:04:53,726

Like you're

sending these kids out into the world

 

94

00:04:53,726 --> 00:04:56,896

and they don't have a clue, like you said,

about balancing a checkbook.

 

95

00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:02,035

I think that one thing as a society

that we've done really well is we've

 

96

00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:05,972

taught kids how to use credit cards,

but we haven't really taught them

 

97

00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:10,243

how a credit card works

or the consequence of using a credit card.

 

98

00:05:10,243 --> 00:05:11,277

And if you don't pay it.

 

99

00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:15,415

And so those are some of the things I

think as a society, we're starting to see,

 

100

00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:20,887

oh gosh, we probably need to be educating

and empowering the next generation.

 

101

00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:25,992

I know that some of the things

that we are seeing, one as a bank,

 

102

00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:30,029

we are being very proactive

in how we reach out to communities,

 

103

00:05:30,029 --> 00:05:33,800

whether that be community groups,

whether that be schools, whether that even

 

104

00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,600

be elder.

 

105

00:05:35,668 --> 00:05:37,704

you know, like assisted living homes.

 

106

00:05:37,704 --> 00:05:40,840

We're reaching out to them as well

to talk about financial education

 

107

00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,843

and how we can help them

in all the different phases in life.

 

108

00:05:43,876 --> 00:05:48,214

So I like to see the trend improving, but

I think we still have a long way to go.

 

109

00:05:48,781 --> 00:05:49,549

Oh for sure.

 

110

00:05:49,549 --> 00:05:51,617

So now that now I'm curious with that.

 

111

00:05:51,617 --> 00:05:53,953

So, at the bank here then at FNBO.

 

112

00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:57,190

Oh, how long have we been doing

like those types of community education?

 

113

00:05:57,523 --> 00:05:59,826

events. Kind of like,

what kind of does it all entail?

 

114

00:05:59,826 --> 00:06:02,962

And, so I will say, historically,

FNB has been

 

115

00:06:02,962 --> 00:06:05,965

very proactive in this area.

 

116

00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:08,935

I think it's it is something

looking back over the history of the bank

 

117

00:06:08,935 --> 00:06:14,741

we've always done, but with the ability

to reach consumers and reach, communities

 

118

00:06:14,741 --> 00:06:18,244

through different means,

but doesn't all have to be in person.

 

119

00:06:18,611 --> 00:06:22,849

We're really finding ways to be kind of

innovative in how we reach out.

 

120

00:06:22,849 --> 00:06:27,253

So we do things from participating

in teach Kids to Save day,

 

121

00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:30,256

teaming up with local high schools,

with local middle schools.

 

122

00:06:30,256 --> 00:06:33,593

I've even been to elementary schools

talking about needs versus once,

 

123

00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,496

which is a whole other conversation

with kids.

 

124

00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:38,564

If they don't understand

needs versus wants.

 

125

00:06:39,832 --> 00:06:40,199

we do a

 

126

00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,436

lot with, various organizations

like Junior Achievement.

 

127

00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:46,172

They're, a nationwide organization.

 

128

00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:50,476

And so we have bankers that are going out

and working not only in classrooms,

 

129

00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:54,680

but they're going out and working

with these organizations to work with kids

 

130

00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,619

and really provide real life scenarios,

giving them a budget and having them learn

 

131

00:06:59,619 --> 00:07:03,322

how to balance it

or or giving them a fake job

 

132

00:07:03,322 --> 00:07:07,560

and earn a paycheck, and having to learn

how to buy groceries and pay bills.

 

133

00:07:07,894 --> 00:07:10,897

You know, it's really exciting to see.

 

134

00:07:15,501 --> 00:07:17,069

What are the main challenges

 

135

00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:20,406

to implementing effective

financial education in schools?

 

136

00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:23,009

Gosh, that's kind of a loaded question.

 

137

00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:26,012

I think there's a couple of different,

 

138

00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,280

different things that you can do,

 

139

00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,384

but I think some of the challenges

are just bringing the awareness.

 

140

00:07:31,684 --> 00:07:32,885

So you think about,

 

141

00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:37,290

all the different courses

that you can take in class or in school.

 

142

00:07:37,323 --> 00:07:37,657

Right.

 

143

00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:41,828

And I think, of the school district

that I live in, kids can take Spanish,

 

144

00:07:42,195 --> 00:07:44,664

they can take French,

they can take Chinese,

 

145

00:07:44,664 --> 00:07:47,667

and they're all taking ways

to improve their English.

 

146

00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:50,403

But nobody really talks about like,

the language of money. Right.

 

147

00:07:50,403 --> 00:07:53,906

And I think you have to kind of

look at that and say, okay,

 

148

00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:57,510

what is something that these kids need

that's going to

 

149

00:07:57,977 --> 00:07:59,312

provide for them in the future?

 

150

00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:02,281

And so it's really kind

of starting that conversation.

 

151

00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:05,718

I think a lot of it should start at home,

but I don't know that it always

 

152

00:08:05,718 --> 00:08:07,353

necessarily does start at home.

 

153

00:08:07,353 --> 00:08:11,157

And so working with your,

your school groups or even

 

154

00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:14,794

whether you are a parent

or you work with an organization,

 

155

00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:18,030

having those conversations

at the school level,

 

156

00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:22,034

but being willing to go out and volunteer,

being willing to go out and teach

 

157

00:08:22,034 --> 00:08:25,805

those courses, or being willing to go out

and be a volunteer with an organization

 

158

00:08:25,805 --> 00:08:27,073

that provides that.

 

159

00:08:27,073 --> 00:08:30,076

I think that's, one place to start.

 

160

00:08:30,142 --> 00:08:31,110

I know that,

 

161

00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:32,712

some of

 

162

00:08:32,712 --> 00:08:35,715

the things that I've seen businesses

do is,

 

163

00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:38,518

they'll go into areas where maybe

 

164

00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:40,953

there are schools that have the option

 

165

00:08:40,953 --> 00:08:43,990

of doing financial education,

but maybe it's not a requirement.

 

166

00:08:44,323 --> 00:08:46,893

And so they find a way

to team up with that school.

 

167

00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:51,130

And maybe their incentive in the school

to do financial education in some way

 

168

00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:52,431

is, you know, interesting.

 

169

00:08:52,431 --> 00:08:55,701

50 states, only 25 have financial

education requirements, right.

 

170

00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:59,238

So if you're not providing

financial education

 

171

00:08:59,472 --> 00:09:03,376

and you're receiving funds from the state,

obviously that's not going to work.

 

172

00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,178

You have to provide the education

to get the funding right.

 

173

00:09:06,178 --> 00:09:08,381

But what about those other 25 states?

 

174

00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:12,285

And so I think, in some areas

I've seen, it's been really unique

 

175

00:09:12,285 --> 00:09:14,754

where organizations

will team up with school districts

 

176

00:09:14,754 --> 00:09:16,923

or with schools,

and they'll go in and say, look,

 

177

00:09:16,923 --> 00:09:20,560

we would like to provide this

and here's what we will do for you

 

178

00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,563

in table in order to for you

to allow us to come in.

 

179

00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:27,900

And it's not really there to push products

or to push their company,

 

180

00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,870

but they're really seeing that as a need

and wanting to give back.

 

181

00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:32,238

Yeah, that's really cool

 

182

00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:35,908

because yeah, like I said it like

at the top of the podcast of I look back,

 

183

00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:39,612

I don't remember having any kind of

like formal education in this,

 

184

00:09:39,645 --> 00:09:43,015

but some of what you had said

to have a lot of this starting at home.

 

185

00:09:43,683 --> 00:09:46,652

my mom used to be tend to

everything is cash right.

 

186

00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:49,922

Like kind of you have cash once it's

gone, it's gone, you know.

 

187

00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:50,823

So hold on to it.

 

188

00:09:50,823 --> 00:09:53,326

And still in some ways it's that way.

 

189

00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:57,463

And, you know, I've evolved to like

how to effectively inappropriate

 

190

00:09:57,463 --> 00:09:58,631

use a credit card. Right.

 

191

00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:01,801

I have it's not just free money

that's just out there.

 

192

00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:02,435

Right. Right.

 

193

00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:05,504

And so a lot of that stuff

is like translated really well.

 

194

00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:09,375

But you know, the lack of that

in a formal education, you know, setting,

 

195

00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:13,613

you know, not everybody was probably

as lucky as I was right to have my mom.

 

196

00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:17,049

Kudos to your mom for doing that.

 

197

00:10:17,049 --> 00:10:19,352

My mom, I won't,

 

198

00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:21,487

I won't tell you my age, but, like,

 

199

00:10:21,487 --> 00:10:24,757

I remember being younger, and you had the,

like, the toy cash register.

 

200

00:10:24,757 --> 00:10:25,291

Oh, yeah.

 

201

00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:28,628

And it had the plastic coins

and the paper bills.

 

202

00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:33,833

And if you were playing store, you

actually, like the money went away, right?

 

203

00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:36,902

if you walk into any store now

and you look at toy

 

204

00:10:36,902 --> 00:10:40,172

cash registers,

it's all just a piece of plastic.

 

205

00:10:40,439 --> 00:10:43,943

And so they're just swiping a card

and that's what we're teaching them to do

 

206

00:10:43,943 --> 00:10:47,279

is, hey, you just have this card

and you swipe it, but there's really

 

207

00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:50,883

no conversation on the back end of

where does that money come from?

 

208

00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:53,619

And what if you don't

pay that back? you know,

 

209

00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:55,187

Yeah.

 

210

00:10:55,187 --> 00:10:56,455

What can it lead to? Yeah.

 

211

00:10:56,455 --> 00:10:58,124

Very tough life lessons.

 

212

00:10:58,124 --> 00:11:00,126

You know, I could say from experience.

 

213

00:11:00,126 --> 00:11:02,828

So how so?

 

214

00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:04,563

How can our listeners advocate

 

215

00:11:04,563 --> 00:11:08,401

for financial literacy programs

in their local schools and communities?

 

216

00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:11,737

And what suggestions can

they share to make financial education

 

217

00:11:11,737 --> 00:11:15,107

more accessible and impactful

for all students?

 

218

00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:20,079

I would say, again, I'm going to say

reach out to your, to your schools.

 

219

00:11:20,646 --> 00:11:23,516

it could be something like,

 

220

00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:24,917

working with the librarian.

 

221

00:11:24,917 --> 00:11:27,920

You know, sometimes librarians

like to offer programs like that.

 

222

00:11:28,854 --> 00:11:32,658

at my son's school, we have a Stem

program, and and funny enough,

 

223

00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:37,063

one of their projects this year for fifth

grade was they had to create a concept.

 

224

00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:39,598

They had to figure out how to fund it.

 

225

00:11:39,598 --> 00:11:41,567

And then they had to sell a product.

 

226

00:11:41,567 --> 00:11:44,336

And so I'm like, oh,

that's something I learned in fifth grade.

 

227

00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:44,603

Right.

 

228

00:11:44,603 --> 00:11:47,673

So but that all came about

because there was a conversation

 

229

00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:49,442

with some of the teachers that said, hey,

 

230

00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:51,510

I want these kids to have real life

scenarios.

 

231

00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:54,747

And so, it's starting younger and younger,

I would say.

 

232

00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:58,484

Also just finding groups, you know, that

maybe your kids are involved in.

 

233

00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:00,119

Is it Boy Scouts? Is it Girl Scouts?

 

234

00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:02,188

Is it, heritage girls

 

235

00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:05,991

like all those types of things

kids are needing to earn badges for.

 

236

00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:08,761

I know there's a badge out there.

 

237

00:12:08,761 --> 00:12:10,996

for financial education.

 

238

00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:13,666

so I just think that some ways

that people can get started.

 

239

00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:16,168

And if you're super passionate

and you want to join your school board,

 

240

00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:18,537

that's always a great way

to start to feel wonderful.

 

241

00:12:18,537 --> 00:12:19,739

That's all great to hear.

 

242

00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:23,008

And, I really hope some of our listeners

really take that and,

 

243

00:12:23,008 --> 00:12:26,011

you know, reach out and kind of get

connected in the community.

 

244

00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:29,582

Well, thank you so much, Chris, for

sitting down and chatting with us today.

 

245

00:12:30,349 --> 00:12:31,083

Absolutely.

 

246

00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,819

And I think one more thing

for our listeners to take away.

 

247

00:12:33,819 --> 00:12:36,722

Oh love it. Call your bank. Right.

 

248

00:12:36,722 --> 00:12:38,357

I know

we're not the only bank that does this,

 

249

00:12:38,357 --> 00:12:41,761

but we would love to be the bank out there

that's having those conversations.

 

250

00:12:42,461 --> 00:12:43,195

so reach out.

 

251

00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:45,931

We've got branches

all across various states.

 

252

00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:47,199

We can do it in person.

 

253

00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:49,068

We can do it virtually.

 

254

00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:51,971

and we're happy to present

whether that be a school event,

 

255

00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:56,075

whether that be just,

you know, a like a scouting group,

 

256

00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:59,545

or if you're just a teacher

that's looking for ways to,

 

257

00:12:59,545 --> 00:13:02,648

you know, get more information

out to your own kiddos.

 

258

00:13:03,315 --> 00:13:05,317

just give us a call.

We're happy to set something up.

 

259

00:13:05,317 --> 00:13:05,551

Yeah.

 

260

00:13:05,551 --> 00:13:08,454

So if you're a listener and you're close

to one of our branch locations,

 

261

closest branch location, phone number.

 

263

00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,630

and maybe we could even get you connected

with Chris, so.

 

264

00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,231

Absolutely happy to do it. Yeah.

 

265

00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:20,933
