How an Unconventional CEO Is Rebuilding Red Rocks Credit Union
What happens when a credit union CEO comes from outside the industry and refuses to accept legacy thinking as the cost of doing business? Live from Alkami Co:lab in San Diego, Jim Marous speaks with Darius Wise, President and CEO of Red Rocks Credit Union, about how an unconventional leadership path shaped the transformation of a $360 million credit union in Colorado. Wise shares how his background as a pastor and nonprofit leader helped him focus Red Rocks on a clear “why”: enriching lives. From there, the credit union built a culture of change, modernized its tech stack, improved digital account opening, launched AI-powered member support and pushed the organization to move with more speed. This episode is not just about digital transformation. It is about leadership, purpose, culture and the courage to move faster without losing sight of the people you serve.

Colony Bank’s Digital Communications Playbook
Community banking has always been built on relationships. But when customers no longer need to walk into a branch to make decisions, those relationships must start earlier, move faster and become more relevant across digital channels. Live from Alkami Co:lab in San Diego, Jim Marous speaks with Jeffrey Wright, Digital Communications Manager at Colony Bank, about how community banks can use data, timing and digital engagement to build trust before a customer ever talks to a banker. Wright shares how Colony Bank is using real-time insights, customer journeys, segmentation and automation to move beyond generic campaigns. The goal is not more communication. It is more relevant communication that helps customers take the next best step without feeling sold to.
