    Cyber Resilience In 2026: What It Really Takes

    In this episode of The Vault, host Amelis Long welcomes FNBO Chief Information Security Officer Jeff Weeks for a timely conversation on cyber resilience and what it really takes to stay safe in today’s digital world. Jeff breaks down why many high-profile breaches still come down to simple issues like outdated systems, weak passwords, and rushed decision-making and how attackers increasingly exploit human behavior rather than complex technology. Together, they discuss how awareness, skepticism, and preparation can make a meaningful difference for both businesses and consumers. From recognizing emotionally charged scams to building basic plans at work and at home, the episode reinforces a clear message: cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue, it’s a shared responsibility that starts with slowing down, asking questions, and practicing good digital hygiene.

    The 2026 Investment Outlook – Stay Invested, Diversified, & Disciplined

    In this episode of The Vault, host Amelis Long is joined by FNBO investment leaders Kurt Spieler, Senior Vice President of Investment Management, and Rusty Vanneman, FNBO’s new Chief Investment Officer, to break down FNBO’s 2026 Investment Outlook and what it means for investors heading into 2026. Together, they explore current market conditions, economic trends, and the key factors shaping the investment landscape, including economic resilience, corporate earnings growth, inflation dynamics, and the continued impact of artificial intelligence on markets. The discussion is guided by the core themes of The 2026 Investment Outlook: Stay Invested, Diversified, and Disciplined. Kurt and Rusty explain why staying invested through market volatility is essential for long-term growth, why diversification is increasingly important amid market concentration in large-cap technology stocks, and how fixed income and alternative investments can play a role in managing risk and improving portfolio balance. They also address common investor questions around AI stocks, gold, and cryptocurrency, emphasizing the importance of rebalancing, avoiding emotional decision-making, and working with a financial advisor to stay aligned with long-term goals.

    Unlocking a New Model for Children's Mental Health

    In this episode of The Vault, host David Cota speaks with Chanda Chacón, MPH, FACHE, President and CEO of Children’s Nebraska, about her leadership journey and the evolving role of pediatric healthcare. Chanda shares how a personal childhood medical experience shaped her commitment to children’s health, what drew her to Omaha, and why the mission of Children’s Nebraska - to improve the life of every child - continues to guide the organization’s work. The conversation highlights the opening of the Behavioral Health & Wellness Center at Children’s Nebraska, a first-of-its-kind facility in the state designed to meet rising mental and behavioral health needs. Chanda explains the center’s “no wrong door” continuum of care - from 24/7 crisis assessment and urgent care to inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient services - while also discussing her people-first leadership philosophy, the importance of supporting caregivers, and the vision for integrating behavioral health as an essential part of overall health. *Member FDIC, equal housing lender.

  4. 168 Years Strong: Building the Future by Honoring Our Past

    168 Years Strong: Building the Future by Honoring Our Past

    In this episode of The Vault, we’re celebrating FNBO’s 168th anniversary with a conversation between host Amelis Long and David Cota, Executive Vice President of Banking and a 26-year FNBO veteran. Together, they reflect on FNBO’s history and the moments that have shaped us into who we are today. The episode explores our beginnings in frontier Omaha, where the Kountze Brothers founded FNBO in 1857, and traces our evolution into one of the nation’s earliest nationally chartered banks and a six-generation family enterprise. Amelis and David discuss key innovations on FNBO’s history—from pioneering women’s banking services in the early 1900s to becoming an early credit card issuer in the 1950s—and the belief that each generation must reinvent us to ensure our longevity. Looking ahead, the conversation turns to how we’re carrying that mindset forward through digital innovation, community partnerships, and a culture of constantly raising the bar as we enter our 169th year serving communities across nine Midwestern states. * Member FDIC, equal housing lender.
