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.
