Podcast
Future Money is a podcast exploring the evolving intersections of technology, finance, and culture, because finance touches every industry and every life.
At its core Future Money is about self-sovereignty and empowerment: reimagining how people, especially those in underserved communities and those who are underbanked or unbanked, access, manage, and grow their financial lives. Each episode engages founders, creatives, innovators, and thought leaders in conversations that bridge their past experiences, their present work, and their visions for the future of their industries and the world at large.
