Community Bank Value™ PlaybookHow to Find Your Bank’s Blind Spots (Before It’s Too Late)If you’ve stayed through fourteen episodes, you understand the big ideas:The Leverage MatrixThe eight value driversTiming, valuation, structure, talent, legacyBut most CEOs hit the same wall right here:“Where do I start?”This episode is the bridge from understanding to action.Kurt shows how everything in Season One collapses into two questions:Where do you stand?How much time do you really have?When you can answer those, you stop guessing, stop trying to fix everything, and start focusing on what a...
2026-01-1105 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookWhy Smart Bank CEOs Stay Stuck: The 3 Beliefs That Destroy ValueIf you’ve ever said:“We’re not for sale.”“We’ll deal with that when the time comes.”“The market will do what it does.”…you probably thought you were taking a clear strategic position.In reality, those phrases are escape hatches. They shut down conversations your board needs to have — and they quietly undermine readiness, leverage, and fiduciary responsibility.In this episode, Kurt breaks down the three beliefs that keep smart, experienced community bank CEOs stuck — and shows you what to say instead so you can lead with clarity without...
2026-01-1008 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookThe Question You Can’t AnswerAt some point, every community bank CEO gets asked a question that stops them cold:“Should we be thinking about our strategic options?”It might come from a board member. A shareholder. A spouse. Or from your own internal voice late at night.And if you don’t have a framework — you deflect.You reach for phrases like: “Multiples aren’t there.” “We’re not for sale.” “We’ll figure it out when the time comes.”They end the conversation… but the question doesn’t go away.
2026-01-0907 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookCash vs. Stock: How Deal Structure Controls Your Influence After ClosingEvery community bank CEO wants to protect their people — and their legacy. But very few understand the single structural decision that determines how much influence they’ll have after closing:Cash… or stock.Most CEOs assume this is a tax discussion. It’s not. Deal structure determines whether you have voice after closing — or whether you’re watching from the outside.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt breaks down the three deal structures, the real trade-off between certainty and influence, and why the “be...
2026-01-0808 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookWhat You Can (and Can’t) Protect When Selling Your BankEvery community bank CEO who starts thinking strategically hits the same wall:How do I protect what we’ve built?Not the price. Not the structure. The culture. The people. The trust you spent decades earning.And for most CEOs, the hardest part is this:You can’t talk to anyone about it — not your board, not your team, not even your spouse. So you carry it alone.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson breaks down what you can pro...
2026-01-0709 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookProtecting Your Legacy: What Truly Carries ForwardThere’s a question community bank CEOs carry more than they admit — and it rarely gets asked directly:What happens to our people? Our customers? Our community… if something changes?Underneath that is something deeper: A fear that one decision — even the right one — could undo decades of goodwill you never wanted credit for, but always felt responsible to protect.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson names the emotional weight CEOs carry, explains the hard truth about what contracts can and cannot protect, and reframes...
2026-01-0607 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookThe Advisor Team: The 3 Experts Every Bank CEO NeedsYou get the call. A strategic buyer wants a conversation.Now what?Who do you call first — legal counsel, an investment banker, your accountant, your board… or do you try to handle it yourself?Most CEOs think they have a plan. But as Mike Tyson put it: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson explains why the banks that maintain leverage don’t build their advisor teams after interest shows up — they bui...
2026-01-0508 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookThe Talent Paradox: Why Your Best People Create Both Value and RiskMany community bank CEOs carry a quiet fear:“If we start building succession, documenting systems, and developing leadership independence… our best people will assume we’re selling — and they’ll leave.”But the paradox is this:The very dependency you’re trying to “protect” is exactly what kills value — and actually puts your people at greater risk.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson breaks down what buyers really see when a bank depends on one or two key people, why leadership independenc...
2026-01-0409 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookHow to Respond to an Unsolicited Offer (Without Losing Control)Strategic conversations rarely start in the boardroom.They start at conferences. Over lunch. Through “deal-maker” introductions. And by the time a CEO realizes what’s happening, control is already gone.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson explains why uncoordinated strategic conversations destroy value — and how boards protect shareholders by establishing a clear governance framework before unsolicited interest arrives.This isn’t about deciding to sell. It’s about fiduciary responsibility and controlling the conversation — so the bank doesn’t get controlled by it.What Yo...
2026-01-0308 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookBank Valuation Myths: Why Multiples Mislead CEOsMost community bank CEOs have never sold a bank. So when valuation comes up, they default to the question everyone asks:“What multiples are banks getting right now?”Here’s the problem: multiples are a terrible way to understand value. They’re backward-looking, distorted by capital policy, and tell you almost nothing about what your bank is actually worth.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson explains how buyers really value banks — and why CEOs who rely on multiples quietly lose leverage.This is...
2026-01-0205 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookThe Golden Window: The 18-Month Cycle That Creates—or Kills—LeverageTiming doesn’t just affect leverage.It can cost — or save — shareholders seven figures without changing a single deal term.In this episode, Kurt Knutson introduces the Golden Window — a specific, measurable 18-month cycle where regulatory timing and core contract structure align to dramatically increase leverage.This episode builds directly on the Strategic Window and shows how tactical timing decisions quietly determine outcomes long before any strategic conversation begins.What You’ll LearnWhat the Golden Window is — and why it’s different from...
2026-01-0105 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookThe Strategic Window: Why Timing Determines Your ValuationThere are moments in every community bank’s lifecycle when the CEO has maximum control, maximum leverage, and maximum optionality.Kurt Knutson calls this the Strategic Window.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt explains how timing — not just performance — determines leverage, and how understanding where you are in the Strategic Window changes how you lead, whether you ever sell or not.This is not about urgency or transactions. It’s about recognizing when your leverage is strongest so you can make better...
2025-12-3108 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookThe 8 Value Drivers Every Community Bank CEO Must UnderstandMost community bank CEOs think about value the same way everyone else does: call report metrics, peer comparisons, ROA, and efficiency ratios.Strategic buyers don’t.In this episode of the Community Bank Value™ Playbook, Kurt Knutson breaks down the eight value drivers buyers actually use to evaluate a bank — and why understanding them changes how you lead, whether you ever sell or not.You’ll learn the difference between:Baseline value that gets you into the conversationStrategic differentiators that create premiums and leverage...
2025-12-3008 minCommunity Bank Value™ PlaybookHow Buyers Really Evaluate Your Bank (Not What You Think)Most CEOs assume value is about what they’ve built.Strategic buyers care about what they can become because of it.In this episode, Kurt Knutson explains how strategic value is actually created — why the right combination of banks can turn “two plus two into five,” and how understanding this perspective changes how you think about your own institution.Using real-world experience from both sides of the table, this episode shows how strategic fit, not size or headline metrics, drives exceptional outcomes.What You’ll LearnWhy...
