Brief Summary of Episode #216

Confusion leads to escalating conflict.

If that confusion is unchecked, we’ll eventually be trapped in chaos.

A CEO of an east coast financial brand recently asked me, “How can we best plan for future growth in a world that is unpredictable and full of change?”

We have to escape the cave of complacency and move forward with optimism.

Optimism isn’t a footloose and fancy-free concept - it’s good for financial brands and fintech.

But we have to embrace it internally before we can practice it externally.

By displaying optimism, you will give your customers hope.

Eighty-five percent of Americans say financial stress afflicts them. They want and need to believe that they can escape it.

I believe financial brands can help give their customers that sweet release through strategic planning built around optimism.

In fact, I’m banking on it.
