In Episode 10 of the Legends of Zegen podcast, I’m joined by James Christensen, president of Gateway Bank—the only community bank in Mesa, Arizona. Named Mesa Citizen of the Year in 2022, James is a true legend, known for his selfless leadership and dedication to serving others. In this episode, we discuss his battle with a mental health crisis, the vital role and importance of community banking in today's landscape, and how he’s redefined success by proudly being “Not Your Typical Banker.” Connect with James Christensen: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-christensen-9aa8259/ Website: https://gcbaz.com/
