Hey everyone, Julie here. Welcome back to another episode of the FinTech OG Season 2. Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tom Brown of NYCA and Ed Woodford of ZeroHash. In this episode, we get a front row seat to the evolution of fintech from Tom's early days at Visa, where he played a key role in its IPO, and Ed shares his entrepreneurial journey and how it led to him founding Zerohash.

We talk about how financial services are evolving into what Tom calls next gen financial services, and the challenges like regulatory roadblocks and identity security and celebrate wins like how Tap to Pay has transformed payments and earned wage access has cut down on overdraft fees.

They also share some personal stories about career highs and lows, favorite books, and even some fun quirks that they each have. Let's dive in.
