“I don't think we have to have a work life and a home life. I think we can just have a life, and they ought to blend together.” - James Christensen
In this episode of BOSS™ Talk, I am joined by James Christensen, the dynamic leader at the helm of Gateway Bank, Mesa Arizona's one-and-only community bank. With keen business acumen, James has nurtured Gateway Bank into a high performing and respected financial institution. Apart from his corporate prowess, his fervor for community development is admirable, leading to him being named Mesa Citizen of the Year in 2023. Passionate about financial literacy, James frequently engages audiences with insightful talks aimed at improving financial well-being. His evolution from a workaholic to an advocate for work-life balance is a testament to his adaptability and wisdom.
