Fintech Product Podcast: Recent Episodes

with Moni Millares

Welcome to Fintech Product Podcast! The place to be for career advice for women in Fintech🔥

I chat with FinTech, product and leadership experts to share their personal stories, pass on knowledge on a specific topic relevant to fintech or career growth, talk product management lessons, and discuss challenges for women in fintech

Why? Because.... 1. Financial stress is at it’s peak. We as fintechers have the responsibility to create solutions that solve customer pain points. We need to be well informed, educated and become better every day.

  1. It is hard to find great product people with the experience fintechs need to create differentiated products, at speed. We need to train them.

  2. Fintech is male dominated. We need to educate and mentor women, and leverage advocates so that the next gen of fintechers can see the difference. Less than 30% of UK's fintech staff are women... I imagine worldwide is less. 17% of Fintech executives are women. It has to change.

I'm Moni Millares, Mexican British living in Asia. I’m a Fintech entrepreneur and I build digital banks from scratch. My area of expertise is Product and I'm passionate about body, mind and spirit 🙏

Reach out, I'd love to connect

Much love, Moni đź’ś

If you have the pleasure to meet and work closely with Ricky Knox he will definitely have a major impact in your life.  He is the Founder of Tandem Bank - one of the first UK Challenger Banks. 

What you don’t know is that he was one of the pioneers of the FinTech movement. He is a serial entrepreneur and had the vision to start a new bank, a good bank - when the Bank of England had only given one banking license in the past 100 years. I’m telling you, a man of vision, courage and wisdom. 

The first mover advantage comes with challenges, so Tandem had its own fair share of ups and downs, and in this episode we open up publicly about them. 

Ricky is the entrepreneur that introduced me to the world of FinTech and entrepreneurship and had a huge impact in my life - not only he hired me but he gave me projects and opportunities that shaped who I am today. He is an amazing leader, entrepreneur and human! 

Let’s get into it!

We cover:  Tandem’s funding crisis in 2017 Lessons and mistakes The “how to find your path” wisdom from his unpublished book Culture! He’s the master at that What he looks for founders when making an investment His secret to having so much energy!  How to create FinTechs where women can thrive

And much much more!

We need role models and mentors to break the mold of what is possible in our lives, to have different perspectives, hence a new pair of eyes!

Ruth was that woman to me when she hired me in 2015 to join Tandem Bank - one of the first Digital Banks in the UK

She is smart, kind, and amazing leader and extremely good at what she does.

Not only she's reached CEO level in a male dominated industry, but she is a mom of 2 beautiful kids, runs a non for profit school in Sierra Leone, worked with Tony Blair, was Global Finance Director at Bacardi, and employee number 1 in Tandem and took the risk to build a bank from scratch when bank of England had only given 1 banking license in the past 150 years…

Seee! She's impressive đź’Ş

We worked closely together for a few years, so in this pod I ask her the questions I always wanted to ask but didn't...

  • How does she pull it off? There is so much going on?

  • How does she manage difficult conversations? - she's a master at it?

  • How did she go about the Sierra Leone school?

  • Difference between being a leader and a manger... one of her best pieces of advice to me while I was in Tandem

This is a must listen end to end

Definitely a woman of charisma and impact!

Enjoy and do send us your questions

Love

We are failing on the earth and it’s time we start taking change into our own hands. Andres is in a mission to “Bring the sun closer to the people” so that we can make a contribution towards a better future for all.

According to the Economist we need to quadruple wind and solar panel energy and to do so we would have to replicate the largest solar industrial panels at a rate of one per day!! It’s manic

Andres explains to us how Solfium is helping us as consumers make a contribution, and do something that’s good for the environment and our pocket as he builds “the Uber of solar energy”

And he shares his journey from corporate to entrepreneur, from finding his cofounder to changing his mindset

It’s a fascinating conversation and one that serves to educate ourselves more and more

If you are a woman it is likely you earn way less than your male colleagues – for the same job! On average 20% less… insane right? While there are foundational changes required at the core of all businesses, you can also start making a difference

Be more prepared for that interview…

Know your worth and ask for what you want

This episode is a gem, and Mel tells us real life upfront advice not found just in google

Have a listen, and go and ask for what you want.

Mel is the Head of UK Careers at Investec, and has over 18  years experience in HR; she’s worked in large multinationals and startups, so believe me when she is sharing the real deal it is true.

We met during our time together at Tandem and that’s why I can tell you first hand she is great and you should listen to her :)

We can all relate to that conversation where we wish we were more confident, stronger, braver... 🤔

this is a game called assertiveness! 🔥 People believe positivity will take you places... but there is something deeper and more powerful that will rocket you to your dreams....

RESILIENCE! đź’Ą

Yes that inner strenght that helps you push through when you don't want to...

When you want to quit, when you want to go home, when you want it to be easier...

Yet you know that you like giving your best and you signed up for a big life, so you don't quit

And you keep moving.

That my friends is the real super power đź’Ş

The beauty is that you can build resiliance, boundaries and assertiveness - and in this episode Phoebus and I discuss life experiences and the How!

Anna Perera-Shaw is a researcher and Consumer Credit, Deposits & Payments Director at RFI Global - In this episode she takes us through her insights and we look deeper into financial wellbeing...

There are some shocking numbers and it is critical we all raise more awareness among the youth. The problem is universal - and it is in each of us to educate each other and make better decisions

Our conversation, of course, is about financial well being and how it's affecting us - but ifrom the lens of a researcher rather than just like, our random facts. 

In Australia, but also globally, you can see, especially with younger people, women and people who don't speak English, a lot of these financial products not really meet the needs of everyone, which means they're all these people who are left out... and this is so important -- When our finances are good life is fine when it's not going well, it's really becomes this massive burden.

"I didn’t like my body, had bad self esteem and was self sabotaging myself. In my early 20s I lived in a cycle of diet"  Noemi takes us through her transformation story of going from lack of self confidence to using food as medicine and helping others redefine their releationship with food and have the results they want. 

For her not have self confidence looked like “Wanting to be very small, not wanted to be seen and constantly comparing myself"

You may wonder but what's the relationship between lack of confidence and dieting? 

Well, Noemi puts it great words: 

"By looking in a certain way I thought I would love what I would see in the mirror, so I went to this diet. Then the diet would not last long and then go back to my habits" 

But then over time as she learnt about food and nutrioutiuos while helping her mom heal from precancerous cells, it became obvious to her that she didn’t want to hurt her body anymore, and that's when all changed. 

She now works with clients and helps them release resistance preventing us from loosing the weight through a process of asking questions

Noemi also helps clients with emotional eating and feeling guilty; we cover how emotional eating is usually coming from feeling rejected and she then guides us through an ETF technique or commonly known as tapping so that we can release rejection and feel accepted. 

Emotional eating is coming from feeling rejected.

It's a wonderful episode! 

Hope do enjoy and please reach out if questions and comments 

Love moni!

Shehnaaz takes us through a journey of emotional and physical healing - since young,  her mom encouraged her to look at alternative medicine so she mixes ancient medicine with science to improve her holistic wellbeing.  It is all about deeply connecting with nature. We learn about different aspects about ourselves and our bodies, about science, about alternative medicine and then connecting the dots -- holistic means treat body mind spirit all of it together. 

She calls it "Whispers of ancient wisdom" mixed with science

"you are the expert in your own wellbeing"  

And it is our responsibility to inform ourselves and to know ourselves so that we can heal holistically. 

In the episode we go through: 

  1. How to choose essential oils: 

  2. Let your senses tell you which ones, and mix it with science. 

  3. Citrus are mood boosting and energizing  

  4. Each oil has a multitude of compounds and has multiple effects. 

  5. How to pick a high quality oil

  6. Natural vs chemical oils. Beware of hormone disruptors and check that what you are actually getting is the essential oil

  7. Certified and tested oils. Did you know there are oils that you can use in water (but only the legally certified to do so.

  8. How to use them well 

  9. Pause, breath, deep breath in

  10. Use the oils you can trust  to create my perfume and home aromatizer. 

  11. Align your chakras with the use of essential oils

- Oils support the opening of the chakras 

  • For example, for the throat: speak your truth, and use a combination of oils that can help you

  • How do I get started and choose my oils? 

  • Have a conversation with someone who uses them

  • Identify the things that you are challenged with

  • Give it a go!!

All of us have felt like we don't fit in or that we have some sort of disadvantage compared to others at some point in our lives - whether that was in school, at work or at social situations. 

Now imagine working in an environment where you go to work everyday and you are constantly subconsciously reminded that you indeed are different and indeed need to work harder to get the same treatment as the rest of the group just because of your gender, skin colour, ethnicity, sexual orientation or even professional background. 

That is a fear based world not condusive to everyone creating their best work and being their best selves; therefore creating more!

Hence this is one of the most important conversations we can have in the pod... how do we improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace so that we can embrace differences and leverage differences; rather than making them weaknesses? 

Nadia Edwards is a UK activist and Diversity Exclusion expert that guides us through practical things we can do to improve the workplace!

Daniel has been working in Greenpeace ships as a Chef. 

He guides us through a fascinating journey from a thriving career as a Chef, to being an Activist, living in the jungle and interacting with a boa, to how he’s developed such a strong connection with nature and his soul purpose, to finally expanding on how we can also make a massive difference to mother earth.

He’s also got a fascinating and unique story about the trees in his childhood house, and how they are deeply connected.

It is fun, deep, informative, and I would even say spiritual.

Have you ever had a goal and it's been years in your mind, yet you don't manage to make it happen regardless of what you do? You may try and make progress, but it's not sustainable.... and you go back to your own patterns? 

Believe it or not, that was me when it comes to exercise! Jan 2020 I realized it had been years of having great eating habits, and terrible exercise habits. So I set myself the goal to "move" 5x a week - I made good progress, and then covid happened! 

Few months into covid, I was struggling, and thought it was a good idea to focus on my physical strength to manage my mental strength.. and that's when I met Kevin, and we've been working together since. 

See we think a workout, a goal or losing weight is about just doing the exercise bit, but no, there is soo much psychology and strategy behind creating Sustainable change. 

In this episode, Kevin and I have a conversation about how we can use our psychology, hydration and nutrition to create the sustainable results we want in the fitness area of our lives

Do you have an idea bubbling in your mind? A side project that is more of a hobby? 

Tabatha did too. She started with a simple facebook page to share with her friends like we all do... 

It started growing and she made the leap of faith to leave her job, fast forward a few years, she's been in Forbes and has a thriving business that helps indigenous communities in Oaxaca region in Mexico

Such an inspiration!

Money is important! And today we've got psychologist Dannielle Haig to explain to us the psychology of money. She teaches and educates people on the psychology behind the relationship with our money. Every decision we make on our finances is rooted on our psychology.  In this episode we explore how to understand this better. Money is one of the biggest causes of stress and why people don't sleep at night. Big topic and we break it down in four key areas: 

  1. Do you feel safe and secure in the present - in your day to day finances?

  2. Do you feel safe and secure in the future - can you deal with a financial shock? 

  3. Do you have freedom of choice in the present - do you have freedom with your money to enjoy life in the day to day? 

  4. Do you have freedom of choice in the future - do you have the money or money plans to achieve your goals?

Super interesting topic!

We hear the word personal branding everywhere... but are we really asking the right question by focusing on our personal brand?  How about we focus instead on the concept of Visibility - the courage to put yourself out there, be your most real you, and amplify your vibe. That way, it is not about "hard work" personal brand. But about being so comfortable in your own skin that the right audience and opportunities are in alignment with who you are, your values, and what you want to create in life. 

Victoria Watson, is a PR expert and success coach and she takes us on a journey on exactly that... enhancing our visiblity, turning the lights on, and amplifying our personal brand -- and here is the best part, without being the loudest in the room!. 

This is an episode for you if you want to grow your career, your business or take a leap of faith and start that passion project you've been thinking about!

In business and sports, behind every high performer there is a successful mentor, meet mine: Mike Amato.

Mike was President at Washington Mutual Bank in the US, Head of Global Product and Distribution at Barclays, looked after a 30,000 people team, smashed performance KPIs, and he joined the Board at Santander and Tandem Bank in the UK.

He went from answering the phone to the Board room, and I am blessed to have him in my life.

We were colleagues at Tandem, and later he became my mentor and my go to person during my almost four years in Asia.

This week we want to share with you what usually happens in our private conversations, so listen in and take notes.

Here’s a bit more about Mike:

He led 30,000 people out of a crisis.

He is a believer that a crisis causes change. So he did.

He ran a programme to reboot and reconnect to the company core values leading to outstanding results:

Employer engagement went from the lowest of 64% to 92% in 18 months.

Survey response rates from 70% to 95%

Sales per seller of a 20,000 people team went 9 to 23 sales per seller per week

This was his ROI for changing the culture.

We are blessed that Mike has gone through a career change himself and he no longer is a member of the Board.

He has started a winery in Washington State and creates award winning wines.

And lucky us, he started a mentoring and advisory business.

He focuses on helping people grow their careers and their success, and he does advisory work for organizations, eg mentoring a group of people to change the culture ecosystem

He tends to work with female high achievers, who want balance and success in life, and work in male dominated industries.

If you are curious and this resonates with you, or you are going through a personal crisis, or your company needs a post pandemic reboot, listen to the full episode and do reach out.

I promise you, even if you are a founder, C Level or Board member, you will have good key takeaways.

This is a podcast for everyone.

If you are a woman you have to listen till the end, as I asked Mike a question I had in my mind and I get asked by my mentees often too.

Did you know our breath has the ability to change our physiology, psychology, and energetic blueprint? Most of us don't even know how to breath. But when used with intention, breath helps us with our emotions, to enter a state of flow and peace, and to let go of old stuck energy or emotions. 

Inti Bens is an excellent breathwork facilitator and we have the honour to have her as our first guest to the show. She'll share her story and how breath helped her with anxiety and panic attacks,  explain to us the power of breath, how it affects our chakras, and even better she guides us through a 5min exercise in the show. Listen till the end because she shares about her online programme starting this week with the new moon and Ramadan; it's a very powerful month to breath and change your life. So use leverage and align.

Okas! Egg freezing! How it can be a life changing experience, like it was for me. The challenges, the excitement and the scary bit of the journey. Covering it all very openly from decision making to doing research, the finance, selecting the doctor, the 10 days of self shots in the tummy and the procedure as such! It is a journey! Hope it serves you or your friends as an informative tool, or just to relate, or even to prompt questions in your head.. Enjoy!

If you know you want to be a mom or have some curiosity then this episode is for you! We don't talk about it much but as women we have so much pressure and a life question that is not spoken much about: How will I juggle starting my family and growing my career? and more importantly, am I fertile? In this episode I share my thinking process and the advise that few of my friends gave me that properly changed my life!

Enjoy!

We all have money personalities -- and it impacts our ability to grow our business and our careers.

  • Do you love spending, think money is to enjoy it and live it in the moment and tend to get in debt? 

  • Are you super organized in your finances and struggle to spend on things that make you happy because you want to save more? 

  • Do you struggle to work on your finances, and prefer not to? 

  • Do you believe it's not good to have a lot of money because there are people who don't? 

There is a specific money personality type behind each question -- based on the the research work of Olivia Mellan.

Today we go deep... a better question than what's my purpose in life? - it's all about service, service, service. And the highschool trip to the Tarahumara mountains to deliver food and clothes to the indigenous people that pierced my soul and changed my life. I read the letter I wrote back then when I was 17 and reflected on what I'd just seen and experienced. As of today, that trip and that letter touches the core of my heart.
