Northwest Bank

It is the Daily Clone here on a Tuesday brought to you by Whiskey River.

I'm Jake Brennan, the Northwest Bank Studios.

Jimmy Rogers sounded off on the current state of college football for over four minutes.

I'm not going to play the entire quote in order or its entirety, but I'm going to break it up into three chunks based off of what I thought the three key points for that were.

I, for one, really enjoy his press conferences.

You can check that out at Cyclone Fanatic.

For now, this has been the Daily Clone here in the Northwest Bank Studios presented by Whiskey River.

Brent Blum.

From the Northwest Bank Studios, it's Williams in Bloom.

Presented by Mechdyne.

On the Cyclone Fanatic Podcast Network.

It's a great partnership.

We love and appreciate our friends over at Mechdyne.

Also, the Northwest Bank Studios.

Thanks to Doug and the crew over there for their great partnership as Northwest Bank continues to do great things all around the region and love having them on board as well so a little bit of a different show today just we're just being very forthright here so we're recording this before the men's basketball exhibition the reason is bloom has soccer and um family pictures and we wanted to get something it's okay no i actually i think this works out really well because we have the athletic director thing to talk about.

You and I have both been associated with doing SBA loans over the years and, uh, you know, you can get some of those years where you've got a little bit of folks kind of trying to work around the rules in, um, in ways that, uh, you know, harm the program.

[upbeat music] Well, back again on the Getting the Deal Done podcast is Lisa Forrest with Northwest Bank, and Lisa regularly appears every time the SBA comes out with standard operating procedures that usually have a lot of ambiguity, and it takes a, a while for her and other bankers to figure out what the government really means with all these changes.

So Lisa, glad to have you back.

Thank you, John.

The, the scope hasn't necessarily been fully identified from the SBA.

I think they're leaving it in the lender's purview to make good decisions.

Uh, so at Northwest Bank and, and my- myself and my colleague Sarah Andrews, we've been working with quality of earnings reports for years now, and Northwest Bank is a bank that's comfortable with quality of earnings.

We, we know what goes into that scope.

She loved to travel, read, and do jigsaw and crossword puzzles.

Sharon worked at Bevelheimer's Drugstore, Lincoln Bank, Northwest Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank.

She also volunteered at St. Joseph Hospital.

Sharon is survived by her daughter, Sharon Mitchell, son-in-law, Brad Bodette, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren.

Uh, I'm Sarah Andrews.

I work as an SBA, a senior business developlos- officer for Northwest Bank.

My partner, Lisa Forrest, and I moved to Northwest, uh, in March.

Um, part of the move was just wanting, um, collaborative and, um, a credit policy that we felt like could really meet a lot of our buyers' needs.

But let's go back and talk about what it really can mean.

So the summer of 2026, I attended an event put on by my good friend Lisa Forrest with Northwest Bank, and her speaker was a gentleman by the name of Jacob Hall from, uh, Houston.

He invests in small businesses.

He teaches at the University of Texas.

He lives in RYE.

[laughs] They're Northwest Bank, Jonathan Smith, great guy.

Um, so fortunately, you know, being successful over time, and if you can keep proving yourself, yeah, you'll get opportunities.

You'll find the money.
