Episode notes

Max Mosley has been working at a firm for ten years, the longest he's ever worked in one job. He says financial product is like a play land for him and his team are constantly coming up with ideas that need to be incubated inside firms. Mosley: If i'm going to be here ten years from nohing to be here 20 years from now, i'd better have another s type product in my pocket.

After PayPal sold to eBay in 2002, Max Levchin could have relaxed on a beach for the rest of his life. But that’s not the kind of person he is. He isn’t happy unless he’s coming up with new ideas and building companies – so much so that he actually fell into a dark place after leaving PayPal. He didn’t fully find himself until years later, when he rediscovered his passion for the “hard, valuable, fun” problems of fintech. Now, Max runs another billion-dollar company: Affirm, a “buy now, pay later” service that’s transforming how we purchase things on credit. This is the second part of a two-part conversation with Max; to hear the story of PayPal, be sure to listen to part 1!
