Episode notes

You write that you were worried about failing if you started a bank, so you briefly consider starting a dress shop instead. And then you realize it was a cut throat business, so you went with starting a bank. But you had no team, no office and no money, except for your life's savings. So just tell me how you overcame an your sear of failure. It is very humbling when, you know, you go from a job where you have lots and lots of people and a nice office and a support structure to having nothing.

In this week's episode Anne Boden CEO of Starling Bank speaks to Linda Yueh about setting up her own bank. In her remarkable story Boden reveals how she broke through bureaucracy and successfully countered widespread suspicion to realise her vision for the future of consumer banking. She fulfilled that dream by founding Starling, the winner of Best British Bank at the British Bank Awards in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and in doing so has triggered a new movement that is revolutionising the entire banking industry.
