In episode 4, Matt Knight is joined by Tim Latimer, the founding visionary, and Lindsay Dodd, the first non-family CEO who is leading Cashco Financial into a new chapter. We discuss the transformative story of how Cashco has become a champion of financial inclusion and the remarkable leadership transition from founder to non-family CEO. Tim and Lindsey share the inside story of their leadership transition, how they maintained a unique company culture through this change, and the powerful role of daily meetings in building trust.
Tim, as a 'Best Practice Junkie,' shares his journey from starting in the pawn business to building a national consumer finance organization. Lindsay shares how Cashco's noble cause first attracted him to the organization as a board member and his path to leadership. We discuss valuable lessons on trust, gratitude, understanding 'folklore' and the critical importance of values alignment during leadership transitions, tailored for emerging leaders, entrepreneurs, and family businesses seeking to navigate their own transformative journeys.
