Welcome to another episode of the Digital Banking Podcast. My guest today is Pete Duffy, Managing Director of Merger Advisory Services for SRM. Now Pete's a pretty boring guy. So honestly, I'm not sure if you even want to stick around for this episode. Okay, clearly with an intro like that, you can assume I'm kidding. But Pete did self describe himself as boring. He said for me, it's just about my family, my work, my fly fishing, and some reading. That being said, it's everything that comes out of those things that in my humble opinion makes Pete anything but boring. Now, if you've ever been to a conference in our industry or sat in a strategic planning session at a credit union or community bank, there's a good chance you've had exposure to peace.
And one of the things I've always loved about Pete is the brutal honest transparency you get from him. Whether on stage in front of a large crowd or behind closed doors in a small group, you get the same Pete. And one of the things that Pete and I have talked about in the past is the reality of just how much is going on and being talked about in our industry. And if you do go to any major conference and sit through all the sessions, you're likely gonna come away with more questions than answers. So how do you sort through it all? How do you come up with actions that will drive meaningful value at your institution? To do that. I think you've got to be willing to have the hard conversations. And you've got to say the ugly truths out loud.
But there's something else that has to be considered in all of that. How do you say the hard thing with positive intent? How do you talk about it in a constructive and respectful manner? That's where the real value comes in. Now, Pete has spent a lifetime crafting himself, and self-admittedly, most of that crafting he said came through failure. Pete said, failure's where you learn the most. Failure is not about blame. It's about identifying where do you go from here? So I'm super excited to welcome Pete to the show today to talk about where we are as an industry and honestly, where do we go from here? So, Pete, thanks for joining me. Welcome to the show, sir.
Well, thank you, Josh. And thanks for having me. I think it'll be fun to go.
Go through this. Yeah. You're one of those guests that I have to laugh at because we always jump on. And before I actually hit record, it's the hey, how are ya? How's your day going? Kind of what to expect. And you're one of those people where I had very quickly say, Hey Pete, I love you to death, but man, you gotta stop talking because you're saying too much cool stuff that's not on recording. Like we gotta wait till we hit record. You've got a lot going on right now, sir. You've been kind of doing the circuit too, right? I think things are slowing down a little bit in the summer, but man, you had a wild kind of January to now, right? He walked in.
The door at SRM last March. And uh in those 14-15 months, I went from uh travel 30-40 percent of the time to nearly a hundred. After we're done with this, I got another day WAFH working from home, and then I hit the road again. The summer's gonna be just as busy as the previous 14 months. Yeah, a lot going on, a lot of things to
