Welcome to Louped In—the podcast that connects you with the people and stories shaping Columbus, Nebraska. Hosted by Matt Lindberg, Public Communications Manager, and Betsy Eckhardt, Parks and Recreation Director, each episode highlights the leaders, volunteers, and visionaries making a difference in our community.

This week, we sit down with Josh Johnson, President of Columbus Bank and Trust. A Columbus native, Josh returned home after the pandemic to raise his family and quickly dove headfirst into community life. From leadership at one of our local banks to taking on as many volunteer opportunities as he can handle, Josh shares his journey, his passion for service, and why investing in Columbus—both financially and personally—means so much to him.
