Dr. Bill McCumber keeps his finger on the pulse of the finance world, and his roles at Louisiana Tech make him an important figure in the ever-evolving College of Business. In this episode, he talks about the Student Managed Investment Fund (pronounced "smif" for fun) and the growth it has experienced thanks to the efforts of his students. He discusses financial technologies and how they're shaping the realm of banking, and he recounts his journey from the big city to the Ruston countryside, even telling us along the way why It's a Wonderful Life might be the best banking movie he's seen.
