The What Matters Most Podcast by My Bank First United Bank & Trust

Today we talk about "making an impact" with Alan Mullendore ([email protected]), Market President at First United serving Washington and Frederick counties in Maryland. We discuss the butterfly effect of how small actions can have a major impact on not only your life, but the lives of those around you, well into the future and finding that passion and purpose in your life will lead you to a place where you can make that impact in your community.
