Fintech Leaders Jackie Reses & Lauren Weinberg, Self-Made Bosses - Tools And Advice For Helping Small Businesses Start, Run, And Grow
Miguel Armaza sits down with two iconic fintech leaders: Jackie Reses and Lauren Weinberg. Jackie is a fintech entrepreneur, former Head of Square Capital, and serves on the boards of Nubank, Endeavor, NYDIG, and Affirm. Lauren is the Chief Marketing Officer of Square, where she leads global Marketing and Communications, and has earned several distinctions and accolades for her work. In short, they are some of the most impressive executives in the industry.
Lauren and Jackie are also the Co-Authors of SELF-MADE BOSS: Advice, Hacks, And Lessons from Small Business Owners, a fascinating book that provides first-hand accounts of small business owners who have built their companies from the ground up.
The book is the result of their many years working together at Square, where they realized and experienced the struggles and needs of micro-entrepreneurs. Despite small businesses being the backbone of the economy, Jackie and Lauren learned that this community is completely underserved for information and SELF-MADE BOSS aims to provide much-needed support in building small businesses, including obtaining start-up capital, hiring staff, planning for growth, and coping with the daily stresses of being your own boss.
Packed with incredible stories of grit and perseverance, SELF-MADE BOSS is not only an excellent guide for current and aspiring small business owners, but it’s also a must-read for any professional or fintech operator, focused on serving small businesses. It will help you empathize with your customers and understand their daily problems. I certainly recommend it!
Hope you enjoy this great conversation with Jackie Reses and Lauren Weinberg.
