The wait is over, folks. Corey Neil, the Bank of Tampa’s President and CEO and one of the “Money” Market Podcast’s most requested guests, joins host Owen LaFave to talk about the kind of leadership that puts people first. A true servant leader, Corey shares how a single word – impact – has guided his rise from young banker to CEO, shaping a culture rooted in relationships, authenticity, and doing what’s right over what’s easy.

From the lessons learned under the leadership of Jerry Divers and Bill West to the challenge of keeping a privately owned bank thriving in a world of mergers and mega-institutions, Corey reveals what makes The Bank of Tampa a true unicorn in modern banking. Packed with humor, heart, and real talk on culture, community, and purpose-driven leadership, this episode shows why success isn’t about size – it’s about substance.
