In this month's episode, the guys are joined by Jim Cone, a Director at both CapTex Bank and Victory Bank (TX). Jim shares insights ranging from his early days in business development to purchasing a bank with just $10 million in assets and growing it to over $1 billion. He also talks about the value of C&I relationships, finding the best businesses in a community and "riding with them," refusing to take “no” for an answer, and not being afraid to “pick up $100 bills if they are laying around on the sidewalk.” Lastly, Jim shares what he deems as the most important metric when evaluating whether to invest in a bank. Please join the conversation for a terrific episode filled with memorable one-liners and great advice.
