In Episode 14 of the Luminate podcast, titled Culture Shock, my co-host Joshua Poole, CEO of BRECO FCU, and I dive deep into what it truly means to lead with heart, empathy, and vulnerability.

This episode is a powerful reminder that real leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about connection, courage, and compassion. From personal stories to raw truths, we get honest about the emotional layers of leadership. Fair warning: you might want to keep some tissues nearby, this one’s got all the feels.

Joshua Poole BIO:

As a trusted executive leader specializing in credit union operations, I bring a rich and robust history of driving continuous growth and development for the organizations I have served.
My ongoing experience as President and CEO with BRECO Federal Credit Union speaks to my progressive career advancement and capacity to actualize positive change at all turns. I have led BRECO to achieve multiple awards including "Best of the Best" among credit unions statewide while driving improvements to financial performance and risk management.
Further, I am well-regarded as a respected thought leader in the industry backed by my contributions as an author for national credit union publications, as part of the Board of Directors with Luminate (formerly Louisiana Credit Union League) and previous Chapter President of the Baton Rouge Chapter of that organization.
My experience is complemented by an MBA in Financial Management Services from Louisiana State University Shreveport and a designation as a Credit Union Enterprise Risk Management Expert (CUERME).
