Hey credit union people … are the longer, hotter days calling you away from your office and out into the sun? Got a hankering to strip off your work attire, run through a sprinkler and eat a popsicle? Yeah, us too. That’s why we recorded this very special podcast episode, which we’re unofficially calling "Summer Accounts With Margaritas and Wine". Think of it as your free pass to take the afternoon off, head to the nearest pool or body of water, pour a cold beverage and listen to something mindless as a precursor to a refreshing nap.

This sizzling episode kicks off with a trip down memory lane for Michael, Natasha and Producer Zach, as they swap stories about childhood summers, first jobs and summer internships. Next, we switch gears to travel, welcoming in guest Josh DeTar, EVP of Evangelism for digital banking company Tyfone and a 2024 Credit Union Times Luminary. With over 75,000 Alaska Airlines miles already under his belt this year, he has tons of tips to share, from efficient packing to staying healthy on the road. We also share some bonus tips that were sent in by a few of our well-traveled listeners.

Michael, Natasha and Producer Zach then go in full out-of-office mode with a discussion about their favorite summer movies and books, before Michael caps us off with an original poem paying homage to a must-have sunny day product.
