“Don’t be afraid to lean in and be the nerd for your members, for your team, or for the industry.” David Tuyo

Thank you for tuning in to season 3, episode 103 of The CUInsight Experience podcast, with your host, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. This episode is brought to you by our friends at PSCU. As the nation’s premier payments CUSO, PSCU proudly supports the success of more than 1,500 credit unions.

My guest today is David Tuyo, the President and CEO of University Credit Union in California. David shares some amazing things he and his team at the credit union are doing and things we can all learn from. We talk about strategic thinking, some cool tips on board relations, and we dig into some leadership lessons he has learned in his career. 

Listen, as David and I discuss things they implemented for COVID and will keep post-pandemic, the daily check-ins and check-outs he has with his team, and how he keeps his calendar manageable. David speaks about the rigid discipline he has in his board meetings, who he surrounds himself with, and those who have helped him in his career.

David shares the moment he knew he wanted to work in credit unions, his transition from Alabama to Los Angeles, and the stops in between. David walks us through his inspiration for taking the position with University Credit Union, and how it has transformed through the years with varying experiences.. 

In the rapid-fire questions, we find out that David got in trouble in high school and had to pull weeds outside the school building as a consequence. He also shares his interest in all types of music, but the Beetles and the Dave Matthews Band being his favorites, and that his golf coach is the person who exemplifies success to him. Enjoy my conversation with David!
