We're continuing yesterday's conversation with Shamim Okolloh, VP Community Outreach Officer for Central Arkansas at Encore Bank. If you haven't heard yesterday's episode, go back and listen because you are, literally, jumping into the middle of a great conversation. Finding a place to split this up was tough.

What I found so interesting about today's piece was Shamim's bringing back the community needs to the bank. Armed with the banking knowledge, she goes out into the world to reach those that many of us can't reach as easily and helps them get "lender ready". I love that phrase! I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed recording.
