Bankadelic: The colorful side of finance

Continuing in our series of live recordings from Money 20/20, Barry Kirby Union Credit stopped by to talk about the challenge of educating millennials and Gen Z about credit unions--even the fact that they exist. He also talks about his work getting credit unions poised for success in a complicated economic time.

Lou: "This year, an absolute highlight at Money 20/20 was getting on stage to talk about getting noticed by the media. How do you stand out? Ask Mike Nesmith, who wore a wool hat to his Monkees audition. How do you get beyond the single media hit? Build relationships. And what's the x-factor? How about embodying positivity and gratitude? I base it all on three decades in the trade as a podcaster, Chicago Tribune reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist."

The banks that blow off small businesses short themselves in two ways; first, there is truly profit in making those loans, and second, SMBs comprise 99 percent of all businesses in America.

Live from the Money 20/20 Garage Stage, Lou chats with Chris Rosas, the VP Tax & Treasury at Bumble in Austin, Texas about the importance of businesses getting the cross-border tax situation right.
