Eltropy CEO Ashish Garg Launches "Human × AI" Podcast

Ashish Garg, Co-founder and CEO of Eltropy, recently launched "Human × AI: Unscripted," a new podcast exploring the human side of AI through candid conversations with leaders, innovators, and thought leaders reimagining banking with AI.
The podcast cuts through the usual AI narrative – the "future this, disruption that" rhetoric – to focus on the humans building it, the leaders navigating it, and the communities being shaped by it. From credit union executives debugging implementations at midnight to community bank staff discovering unexpected AI wins, the podcast reveals what really happens when financial institutions adopt artificial intelligence.
​
"Most AI conversations happen in boardrooms where everyone speaks Silicon Valley jargon about paradigm shifts," said Garg. "But the real story is what credit unions and community banks are actually experiencing – the 3 a.m. calls, the member who stumped your AI with a simple question, the wins nobody talks about because they seem too small. These aren't fancy add-ons anymore. This is how financial services really work now."

Topics range from practical implementation challenges to philosophical questions about AI's role in preserving the human touch that defines community financial institutions. Guests include credit union CEOs who've successfully deployed AI, engineers who've built solutions specifically for CFIs, and members whose lives have been improved by AI-powered services – no hype, no jargon, just honest conversations about building a more inclusive financial world.

The first three episodes feature known industry veterans Lindsay Myhre, CEO of STCU; Daniel Thurman, CEO of Frontier Credit Union; and Seth Schaefer, EVP / Chief Impact Officer, Rivermark Community Credit Union. 
New episodes will be released weekly on all major podcast platforms.
