  • Fintech’s AAPI Joan of Arc, Bringing Humanity to the World of Men

    What can I say about this podcast? Nicole as a host is captivating, bright, inquisitive, and so well informed in her field.

    She does a phenomenal job of drawing out the stories of some of the most powerful voices in the fintech space. But she doesn’t interview them as CEOs or COOs or Chief of Technology Officers — she interviews them as humans beings. In all their flawed, vulnerable, real wonder. Humans who have values, beliefs and a past, all which brought them here today to this industry.
