What does it take to become a CEO before anyone thinks you’re ready?In this episode of the You Are a CEO Podcast, Michael E. Parker sits down with Shawn Wilson, the youngest CEO of a credit union at just 25 years old—and an expert financial adviser who led a full turnaround of a failing institution into a thriving one.

From securities and wealth portfolio creation to execution, discipline, and growth, this episode is a masterclass in CEO thinking.Shawn breaks down how client expectations in finance have shifted, why the digital age disrupted traditional stockbrokers, and how modern financial planning now focuses on life outcomes—not just retirement numbers.
He also explains behavioral finance and how limiting beliefs quietly shape financial decisions for individuals and institutions alike.If you’re an entrepreneur building credibility, a leader stepping into bigger responsibility, or someone serious about wealth and long-term freedom—this conversation will enlighten you.
