Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 112: A Look at How Fintechs are Being Disruptive
The past two weeks have seen some major announcements that point to fintechs being even more disruptive than in years past.
After a bit of a lackluster performance last week (apologies), Anthony and James return with renewed vigor to discuss fintechs. We know, we know… you’ve heard this conversation before. Well, our hosts point to several news events to highlight what they believe is a true sea change in the fintech discussions. That goes on for about 36 minutes, and then they ramble about the Oscars. We do recommend the first 36 minutes.
