Hey there Thrivers! In this episode, Brittany talks about building powerful and lasting professional relationships with none other than Harry Allen, co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer of Nashville's fastest-growing bank, Studio Bank. With over 20 years in financial services, Harry emphasizes the merits of accumulating his “social capital” through authentic connections, and distinguishing superficial, transactional networking from forging genuine bonds, advising that quality trumps quantity of interactions.
Harry also stresses the inextricable link between belonging and bottom lines, detailing Studio Bank’s intentional culture cultivation as a distinguished “Best Place to Work”. How? But providing employees with ownership stakes, driving an innate sense of responsibility within the company and its work culture. Ultimately, Harry compellingly converges business growth with human bonds and progress with passion, this episode aims to inspire us to lead wholeheartedly, and lasting and impactful professional relationships with those around us despite our differences.
