Banking on Leadership | Rick Smith | Ep. #26 - CEO Series #3
In this episode of You Go First, Lain Hensley sits down with longtime friend Rick Smith, President and CEO of Tri Counties Bank, for a conversation about leadership, resilience, culture, and what it takes to guide an organization through decades of change.Rick shares the unlikely path that led him to the top of Tri Counties Bank and reflects on more than 25 years in the CEO seat — from navigating Y2K and the uncertainty surrounding 9/11 to leading through recessions, COVID, and some of the most challenging moments in the bank’s history. Along the way, he shares stories from inside those defining moments and the leadership lessons that only come from experiencing them firsthand.The conversation arrives at another pivotal moment, as Tri Counties Bank prepares for its recently announced merger with First Hawaiian Bank — a major new chapter for an organization that has spent more than 50 years building relationships throughout California.Rick also reflects on the journey from leading a community bank in Chico to ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell in Times Square, and what that milestone represented for the thousands of people who helped build the company along the way.For Lain, this one is personal. He and Rick go back years, Lain is a longtime Tri Counties Bank customer, and Odyssey Teams has played a role in helping the organization strengthen its leadership and culture. Together, they explore why culture can’t simply be declared from the top, how leaders build trust over time, and why the human side of business matters most when the stakes are highest.It’s a candid conversation between two longtime friends about surviving the moments you never see coming, building something that lasts, and leading people confidently into whatever comes next.

Quiet the Inner Critic | Susan Korte | Ep. #25
What changes when you stop beating yourself up and start treating yourself like someone you love?
In this episode of You Go First, Lain Hensley sits down with longtime friend and executive coach Susan Korte, creator of Kindness Corner, an online community designed to help people-pleasers quiet their inner critics, practice self-compassion, and reconnect with who they truly are.
Susan shares her deeply personal journey of healing, self-discovery, and learning the self-love she needed to break old patterns and become the parent and person she wanted to be. She explains how being kinder to herself accelerated her growth and inspired her to create a supportive space where others can feel seen, encouraged, and less alone.
Together, Lain and Susan explore the connection between kindness, boundaries, confidence, and personal growth. Susan also shares practical ways to interrupt negative self-talk, including naming your inner critic, practicing box breathing, observing your thoughts, and asking a simple but powerful question: What do I need right now?
It’s an honest and uplifting conversation about giving yourself permission to be imperfect, investing in your well-being, and finding a community that reminds you that you matter.
