Humans of Fintech

Have you ever felt like an outsider? You’re not alone. The world of fintech is dominated by the same old voices, drowning out the stories of diverse founders and leaders.

Humans of Fintech changes that. This season we’re bringing you stories of diverse leaders who were once outsiders, and how they since found belonging in our industry. You’ll learn how they became the inspiring fintech operators they are today and what they’re working on right now.

Hosted by Nicole Casperson, journalist and founder of the WTFintech? newsletter. The show shines a spotlight on those voices underrepresented in fintech, particularly women and people of color. Every one of them took the path less traveled, and embodies what fintech is supposed to be: An alternative version of finance, powered by a new model that gives equal access to everyone.

Nicole deep dives into the minds of world-class guests like Shruti Joshi of Facet Wealth, Henry Yoshida of Rocket Dollar, and Jean Smart of Penelope.

In every interview Nicole’s guest will share their story of feeling like an outsider and the specific challenges they faced making progress in their career. You’ll hear the a-ha moment they found connection in the industry,, and how they’re moving the dial when it comes to re-shaping fintech for the better.

If you’ve ever felt isolated, or that your perspective just hasn’t been heard before, Humans of Fintech is here to challenge that.

Season 2 drops on May 4th with new episodes every Wednesday. Make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
