BANKER Q&A
THE
MILLENNIAL MINUTE with Macie Stone AVP ITM/Branch Manager Legacy National Bank, Fayetteville
WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A BANKER?
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU REGRET NOT HAVING STARTED SOONER?
When I was 18, I got a job as a part time teller at a local bank. A few months later I ended up going full time. I loved the customer interaction, helping solve problems and building relationships with customers. My original plan was to be an elementary school teacher but I’m so grateful my path led me to banking.
Running. I always wanted to be able to run but never thought I could. I met someone a little over a year ago who gave me great advice and encouraged me, and it has been one of the best things for me mentally and physically.
DO YOU HAVE A MENTOR? Yes! I have been lucky enough to have worked with and learned from one of the best leaders at our company for the past 4 ½ years. I can absolutely say I would not be where I am in my career without her strong leadership, guidance, knowledge, and patience.
WHAT’S THE MOST HELPFUL BANKING PRODUCT ON THE MARKET TODAY? I think mobile deposit is one of the most helpful banking products today. Everyone stays so busy and in a hurry these days. They want quick and convenient. It doesn’t get much more convenient than being able to deposit your checks from your phone.
DESCRIBE THE PERFECT SUNDAY. The perfect Sunday would be waking up without an alarm, making breakfast for my son and me, going for a run to the park by our house, curling up on the couch with a good book OR on the porch if the weather is nice, ordering sushi for dinner and ending the night watching a funny movie.

DO YOU HAVE ANY STRANGE PHOBIAS? I’m afraid to fly, but I am also extremely afraid of airplanes just flying over me. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I have a fear they are going to crash where I’m at.
WHAT HABIT DO YOU WISH YOU COULD BREAK? I wish I could break my habit of drinking a 12 oz. sugar free Red Bull every morning. I know they are terrible for me. I have tried to like coffee, but I just can’t do it!
