How I've Built an Amazing Network of Bank CEOs
I write about three unusual pillars of the philosophy I’ve used to do so.
It’s 4:13 in the morning. I’m writing from my hotel room in Dallas.
Yesterday I woke up in Philadelphia, intending to drive to Chicago.
But I changed my mind, parked my car at a friend’s house, bought a plane ticket and boarded a flight to Texas. I’ll pick up my car later this year and drive West, along the northern route, back home in Portland, Oregon, visiting friends along the way.
I came to Dallas because it boasts the most unique concentration of bankers in the country, and I like to see each of them at least once a year.
Aaron Graft. C.K. Lee. Ross McKnight. Norm Bagwell. Trey Maust. Alan Morris. Aurelius from Twitter. Michael Parrish and Richard Bayyouck.
And there are always new friends. I had dinner last night with a young man who works with Jody Grant.
This is how I learn.
It’s also a big reason I’ve been able to construct one of the coolest networks of bank CEOs in the country.
I write below about three unusual pillars of the philosophy I’ve used to do so.
