Science Fiction does a better job explaining where we are going than any Historian or Economist. -Clint Stevens, Founder/CEO

Clint Stevens, the founder and CEO of Phy-Cy.X Seciruty Group where IT and Operational Technology meet. It's at this convergent point where they solve problems for business all over the world.

He served our country in the Air Force for 24 years and we are indebted to him for his service.

And while it is his entrepreneurial courage to solve problems for profit that make up his day-to-day life it is his service to our country that makes this conversation with him so interesting.

All of us have to contend with information. There's good information. There's bad information. There's purely falsified information with the intention of confusing. It sure is confusing.

This is easier said than done, but don't let things confuse you. You're probably not gonna figure them out. Have a principal centered value system that loves and respects humanity and work at that every day.

We thank Clint Stevens for his service to our country and I think him even more for showing people how to take action and help people through his entrepreneurial ventures.

More than anything, you have to be someone that people can count on. -- Rick Sems, CEO

Rick leads through action. He spent his career leading teams and developing people so they can understand how to take care of customers needs.

It takes vision, but it also just takes hard work and when you put the two together, every day, you have compounding.

That positive compounding is what Rick uses to drive the success of Equity Bank.

The Chief Operating Officer, Julie Huber and Senior Vice President of Retail Banking, Jonathan Roop work every day on delivering the ease of experience for the customer.

When people interface with a financial institution, be it in person or online they want it to be simple and intuitive.

Julie Huber, the COO of Equity Bank has been working on this since there was just one Equity Bank office. In 2026. They're all over 85 spread out across the middle of the USA. The ease of doing business from the customers per perspective is more important today than ever.

Jonathan Roop has spent his career in banking. With over two decades of experience, he thinks about that personal exchange with a customer every day.

Through the leadership of Julie and Jon, the high value on customer attention and delivering in the moment is what defines Equity Bank's value proposition to each and every customer.

Delivering great service is common sense. Julie and Jon have made sure that delivering a valuable experience is common sense at Equity Bank.
