Welcome! We are Ryan King and Ethan Ashley and we are both seniors majoring in finance at NDSU. On our episode of Consumer Behavior Conversations, we had the opportunity to talk with Sam Jelleberg. Sam is the assistant vice president and a senior financial analyst at Gate City Bank here in Fargo. We discuss how he got started at Gate City and how he got to where he is today. Sam also tells us what a typical day looks like for him and how he deals with the clients who let him manage their money. We get his take on the importance of networking and how it has helped him in his career. Sam also talks about ways he has continued learning after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in banking and financial economics from UND. Finally, we ask Sam if he has any advice for students like us, close to graduation and still somewhat unsure of what we want to do. This project was a great opportunity to meet with a successful community member in a field that are both studying. Some key takeaways we had were the importance of continue to learn after graduating and to keep adding to your resume. Also, we found it interesting how Sam encouraged us to be willing to take some risk on our early jobs because it might just lead to something great and that while we are young is the best time to take those risks. We encourage everyone to give this episode a listen and to subscribe to the podcast’s channel. Thank You!

Hello! We are Alex Steffen and Colin Beckstrand. We both are currently students at NDSU taking part in a consumer behavior class. We have a podcast this week where we meet with Celine Francisco, a relationship manager at Wells Fargo bank. We talk to her about her past history as an NDSU student and early job experience. We talk a lot about her current job as a relationship manager and all the things that go into that job. She talks about the challenges, successes, and interesting parts of her job. She goes into detail about the responsibilities of a relationship manager and how it can be stressful due to the large amount of attention that her clients portfolio's require. She has to have very good communication skills and that came through in the way she talked during the interview. Being a relationship manager was a lot more involved than we had initially expected. Celine goes into detail about how she has to do a lot more than just talk to her clients. She has to be knowledgeable in how to read financial reports, accounts, and determine risk assessment for her clients. At the end of the podcast she gives us some advice and speaks about her future career aspirations. Celine was a very fun person to interview and her energy and excitement about her job will be easy to tell while you’re listening.

In this episode we broke down the mind of Scott Bintz and how he came to be where he is today. He goes into depth on the importance of culture, teamwork, and relationships when trying to build a successful business. Scott founded RealTruck.com and attributes a lot of his success in life to the rise and build up of that company. After Scott sold RealTruck to Truck Hero he decided to branch off and focus his priorities on different aspects including a book, motor cross racing, and smaller companies.
Our main objective was to understand what set him apart and how his target market was engaged. It was very evident that Scott found his groove after a couple failures. Sales were sky rocketing and he highly attributes the sales to very loyal workers as well as the very strong culture that his company demonstrated. We related well with Scott and found this podcast very beneficial.
Anyone listening to this podcast can benefit from Scott's words of wisdom. Hearing a successful entrepreneur speak about the do's and don'ts and what to focus on when starting a business could potentially save someone a lot of money. This podcast opened our eyes up to the opportunities available after college and helped us understand not to limit ourselves in our professional world.
