Ep. 5- What Great Banking Relationships Look Like (And Why They Matter)

When rates rise, stress follows - and for small business owners, that can spell trouble. So, who's in your corner when things get tough?  In this episode, Jeff and Sara sit down with Sean Kouplen, CEO and Chairman of Regent Bank, to unpack what rising interest rates, inflation, and regulatory shifts mean for small businesses - and why the relationship you have with your bank could make or break you in uncertain times.  From navigating post-COVID economic realities to building a culture where people feel loved (yes, even at a bank), Sean shares the mindset, systems, and core values that drive one of the region's most distinctive financial institutions.  If you're a business owner, banker, or CPA looking for more than just transactional advice, this episode is for you.
