#71: Getting a fix on global credit union issues with WOCCU's new leader Brian Branch...

We had a fascinating interview with World Council of Credit Unions' new President/CEO Brian Branch on today's global challenges facing credit unions. It was an honor having Brian on the show to discuss his immediate goals, resolutions to international CU issues, financial technology services, career anecdotes from his global travels over the years (47 countries!), and the unique advice former WOCCU President/CEO Pete Crear provided before he handed over the reigns to Brian. A class act all the way, we were thrilled to chat with Brian. TheWOCCU is definitely in good hands. And check out the exotic masks and headgear hanging on his wall behind him -- all given to him by colleagues throughout the globe. Enjoy the show!
