Always love chatting with @ebloch; tons of great morsels in this on where AI is going in financial services and how to build products around customer behavior first. Def worth a listen/watch!

Another big week for fintech with Chime’s listing tomorrow. Looks like it’s off to a strong start- pricing at the top end of the range. Was excited to speak with @barronsonline on why this is a great development for fintech AND consumers!
