We sit down with a leader whose work is transforming how we think about wealth, community, and the true meaning of success: Ken Shea, President and CEO of East Coast Credit Union.

From humble beginnings to guiding one of the region’s most community-focused financial institutions, our guest’s journey is a testament to the power of building significance, not just success. In a world that often celebrates individual achievement, this conversation is a reminder that the greatest impact comes from lifting others and investing in the places we call home. We discuss:

• Why true wealth is measured by the strength of our communities, not just our bank accounts

• How purpose-driven banking can create opportunities and resilience where it’s needed most

• The importance of partnerships, trust, and showing up for one another

• The difference between shareholder and stakeholder values—and why it matters

• How to turn compassion into action and make a lasting difference

• The role of transparency, accountability, and B Corp certification in building trust

This episode is for anyone who believes that success is about more than numbers—it’s about the lives we touch and the legacies we leave.
