This week we’re jumping in to possibly our favorite topic of all time - the Avengers.

Is this just a chance for us to nerd out on the MCU? Are there actual real life lessons can we learn from them? You have to listen to learn, Friend.

We chat about how those lessons (spoiler alert) apply to our personal and credit union lives, give a (final?) update on those pesky resolutions, and debate Team Iron Man vs. Team Captain America.

This week we’re introducing you to one of our newest team members, Alan Bergstrom. Well, really he’s a Team Captain, because he’s the new CEO of Exclamation, our CUSO.

What does all of that mean? You have to listen to learn, Friend.

We found out what brought Alan into the Simplicity Family, what kind of cool and useful things Exclamation will do, and even answers to the most important questions we could think of.

We're dealing with the big questions on this episode of our podcast.

Why are we here? What did it take to get where we are? Who shot first, Han or Greedo? 

That's right, friends, ALL of the big questions.

For this episode of the Simplicity Show we gave our friends on the Simplicity Team a chance to ask us anything and we'll break it all down, just for you. 

We hope you're not too tired of us bragging about the amazing people we get to work with because we're coming your way with another great example. In this episode of The Simplicity Show, we had some quality time with our friends Erin and Chris Howard, owners of Howard Properties in Marshfield, WI. 

The Howards are more than just great landlords, they're visionary property developers, community volunteers, and evangelists for a better Downtown America, wherever you are. 

How do 350 CU employees and volunteers showing up in Madison affect your everyday life? What do you learn when you put a whole mess of Credit Union believers in a room with their state representatives? If you haven’t thought you should be on the 1st floor and realized you had to be on the 3rd floor at the last second, have you even experienced the State GAC?

We learned all of this and more when we sat down with some of the cool Simplicity CU teammates to talk about their personal experiences at the 2019 Wisconsin State Government Affairs Conference.

How are Extroverts and Introverts different? What are some common reactions, coping skills, or misconceptions? If you make your boss also be your therapist on company time, do you pay them or do they pay you?

We welcomed our resident Best Selling Author, friend, and teammate Adam Schnabel into the studio to talk about his family's journey to adoption, his journey to publishing, and more. 

As New Year’s Eve comes and goes, we’re faced with the eternal question:

“Can I get away with eating Christmas Cookies for breakfast just one more day?”

No, wait, not THAT question (obviously the answer is ‘Treat Yo’self!’) - the question of whether or not you HAVE to set New Year’s Resolutions. Listen in as we explore the contradictory info you can find on the internet (shocking) and reveal what our resolutions would be… if we set them ;)
