In Episode 8, Jimmy sits down with Brian Hartzer - former CEO of Westpac, Chairman of Beforepay and advisor to a number of Fintech companies. Westpac was prescient in working with VC fund 'Reinventure' in 2014, which lays the foundation for the following discussion:

• Why Reinventure was established and why VC was favourable
• How Banks across the world react to Fintechs
• Sizing the threat of Big Technology and its role in embedded finance
• How rapid technological change through COVID (e.g. QR) has forced behavioural change like never before
• Ancedotes from Brian's book 'The Leadership Star'
• The Fintech Wheel of Fortune lands on: 'The Unbanked'

You can find Brian's book here.
