Strive to Delight - LemonadeLXP

“Strive to delight … it's a great ethos to live by.” - John Findlay Thank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together. My guest on today’s show is John Findlay, CEO of LemonadeLXP. He sits down with me to talk about learning, curiosity, and why most workplace training completely misses the mark. He shares his path to CEO, opens up about being labeled a “terrible student”, and how he knew early on that he was meant to build something of his own. From launching businesses right out of high school to using gamification before it even had a name, his story is a reminder that unconventional paths can lead to meaningful innovation. Throughout our conversation, we spend a lot of time discussing a problem that feels almost universal: when learning feels like a chore, people check out, but when it’s designed to be interactive and even enjoyable, that becomes a different story. We also get into how AI is changing the equation—not in a vague, buzzwordy way but in practical terms such as how it can reduce onboarding time, offer answers in real moments of need, and help organizations retain knowledge. As we wrap up the episode, John goes through our usual round of rapid-fire questions, revealing that he is a self-proclaimed “geopolitics nerd”, and why he recommends an especially “epic” book.
