CU Strategic Planning’s Post

**Bank of Dave: A Testament to Resilience and Community Spirit** I watched the film "Bank of Dave" last night and it left me inspired by the incredible journey of Dave Fishwick. Here are some key lessons we can all take away from his story: 1. **Perseverance**: Dave's relentless determination to overcome numerous obstacles teaches us the value of never giving up. 2. **Community Focus**: His dedication to supporting local businesses and individuals highlights the importance of prioritizing the needs of our community. 3. **Challenging the Status Quo**: Dave's fight against established financial institutions shows that innovation and change are possible, even in heavily regulated industries. 4. **Ethical Business Practices**: His commitment to ethical lending and donating profits to charity underscores the importance of running a business with integrity and social responsibility. 5. **Adaptability**: Dave’s ability to adapt and find creative solutions in the face of challenges is a valuable lesson for us all. Dave Fishwick’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have when driven by a mission to help others. What are your thoughts on "Bank of Dave" and the lessons it offers? https://lnkd.in/e6FN_RAc
