Brent Beardall, President and CEO of WaFd Bank, came on Travillian Next expecting a standard podcast conversation. Instead, I surprised him with his good friend Simone Lagomarsino, former President and CEO of Luther Burbank Savings, the bank WaFd acquired in 2024. What followed was exactly what you'd hope for: two people who genuinely like and respect each other, talking openly about the business, the deal, and the relationships that outlast any transaction. If you ever need a reminder of why banking is a noble profession, this one's it. Very proud of this discussion... Enjoy. š„ Watch here: https://lnkd.in/edcQCnwx
