Highlights and links
Seems there was a LOT of talk about d*cks in the episode this week ……… who was one? Who got one? Who said the screen wasn’t big enough for theirs? (Did he REALLY say that???)
It really IS a Fintech show, just not anything like one you’ve come across before!
With stories about Genesis, FIS, Revolut and of course Elon Musk (come on – PLEASE can someone sponsor us to STOP mentioning Musk in every episode??) and a good many more, you’ll have to watch / listen to find out why there was so much d*ck talk this week – apologies in advance to sensitive viewers & listeners 🤪
