For this weeks insightful and inspiring episode, we sat down with the Head of Small Business Banking at Live Oak Bank, Mike McGinley, and got the background of what it's like to be a part of the #1 bank in SBA.

Ray and Mike discuss Live Oak's success and what they attribute it to- their work place culture, their training and recruiting process, community, "The Theory of Verticality", in-person meetings with borrowers, and so much more.

Believe us when we say that this is an episode that you will definitely benefit from listening to.
