A Must Hear Episode with Keith Cerwinski & Gene Valdez

📈 On a recent podcast, Gene interviewed Keith R. Cerwinski who is an industry expert with many years of experience in commercial banking. During the interview they delved into the world of lending, interest rates, the Federal Reserve, and the broader economic landscape, I must say this episode is a goldmine of insights. 🎙️Gene didn't merely ask questions; he engaged Keith in meaningful conversations, dissecting answers to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the marketplace. As I listened to the interview, it made me feel like I was part of the conversation. Keith’s marketplace knowledge, and extensive experience comes through the entire episode. 📈 To all who are curious about the world of commercial banking, lending, and the economic landscape, don't miss out on this discussion. Tune in and gain valuable insights.
