Why Missouri Quarterback Brady Cook Chose Midwest BankCentre | Real Stories of Rising Together

What does a college football star and a bank  CEO have in common? More than you might think   I'm Orv Kimbrough Chairman and CEO of Midwest  BankCentre and I'm heading to my alma mater   Mizzou to meet Tiger's quarterback and Midwest  BankCentre client Brady Cook. Brady and I will   talk about making a difference off the field and  why starting your financial journey on the right   foot is a game changer for young adults like him,  You know it's been 22 years since I've been on   campus. 22? Where you been? Man, I've been in  St Louis and I'm just glad we have you back on   campus I brought my handy football cuz I want to  test your arm and test how far I can throw this.   All right let's go test it out then. Yes sir.  So what made you choose missou and why Midwest   BankCentre. Mizzou has been home forever.  I grew up coming to games and to play here,   I mean it's a blessing and you know Midwest  BankCentre, the thing that stood out to me is   it's easy to open it's fast it's quick it's on  your phone; whether I'm in Columbia, St Louis   traveling for a game I can Bank anywhere. I got a  really strong arm. I've been hearing about it hey   now I'm going to show you. Why is it important for  you and for others to get off on a good financial   footing the way I see it I have an opportunity to  build a foundation and I think it starts early.   So are you more of an online guy or a branch guy?  We have pretty demanding schedules so being able   to do everything on my phone and online that's  pretty important to me. Hey Brady, tell me what we   got planned for the rest of the weekend? I want to  start off by going out to Coyote Hill foster care   facility here in Columbia it's a special place  we're going to hang out with some kids there then   tomorrow tomorrow I'm actually holding my first  Youth Football Camp. oh I'm looking forward to it. hi guys hey Carrie welcome it's good be back  thanks for having me again I wanted you to meet   somebody this is or from Midwest BankCentre  I wanted him to come out here and see what   difference Coyote Hill is making. So Carrie,  tell me more about this beautiful place what   do you all do here? Coyote Hill was created 33  years ago to be a safe place to be a child we   started with just one home, one family now we've  got seven homes 300 acres and 200 more families   that we support across Mid Missouri. I came  into Mizzou while in the custody of the state   and was fortunate to graduate so I aged out of  the foster care system you didn't know that but   this too is a passion for me why are you so  passionate about Coyote Hill? I think every   child deserves a childhood that they can pass on  to their kids and Coyote Hills' vision of ending   child abuse in this generation is why I'm still  here I've seen it work what about your childhood   compels you to do this here now I was blessed  to have a really good upbringing but playing the   sport of football I've met people in teammates  from all different walks of life and I've seen   people that haven't had such a good upbringing,  so coming to a place like Coyote Hill knowing   that everything I do can make a real difference  that means a lot to me perhaps y all can show me   a little bit more of the campus Absolutely  I'll show you around! all right thank you Welcome to our indoor riding arena this is  absolutely amazing our equin program is one   of the smartest things we've ever done we had a  horse from day one because we knew the power of   connections with animals and we knew that it  could help kids heal I love this idea of the   power of connection you can also connect with  nature and the lake is a great way to do that   we know that play disarms fear and so we want  to create spaces and tools for kids to play   I actually want to play I think I want a game of  basketball or I'm not sure if you want this smoke   all right we're going to test it out you  good with that let's go all right let's   play a little pickup all right let's go  pass it back to there you I got a little Brady, I'm so inspired by the work  that you do here I'm inspired by the   work that happens here at Coyote  Hill Midwest BankCentre wants to   be the sponsor to have some of the kids  from Coyote Hill to go to your Camp thank   you so very much thank you man so glad  even more kids are going to be there.
