We're back with a new episode  of Accelerated, a podcast series that gives a behind-the-scenes look at how fintech-banking deals are made and why they’re important.

In this episode, Teslar’s Joe Ehrhardt and Bank of Zachary’s Mark Marionneaux join Wayne Miller and Heather Sugg to discuss their experience forging a partnership at The Venture Center’s ICBA Accelerator and the candid conversations that brought these partners together. 

Listen in as they discuss the mindset needed to accelerate change and build a vision for the future. It’s challenging to think differently, but fintech and community bank collaborations like this can find ways to innovate and prepare for long-term sustainability. Mark speaks to the value making sure his bank is continually exposed to new technologies and continually fosters innovation, while Joe advises on how to break through the noise. 

“Coming out of the pandemic, the consumers win. We’ve got great new processes in place.” Learn more in the third episode of Accelerated, brought to you by William Mills Agency and The Venture Center, below.
