Welcome to Fintech Chatter Bitesize. As we approach the 3 year anniversary of the podcast you are listening to our 200th show! It dawned on me how many great leaders I’ve interviewed over the past 2 and a bit years. I've taken something away from every single show.The first episode with Anthony Nantes of Wisr was 16 minutes long and recorded on a smartphone.But as the show has progressed the interviews have got longer, with our average interview now close to 40 minutes.So I thought it might be a good idea to provide a bitesize podcast where I pick out the greatest insight from each interview and share that with you.I’m also in the process of trawling through the archives to find pearls of wisdom from past shows that I can share in a short bite-sized format.The concept kicks off with a preview of our upcoming leadership interview with James Fuller the CEO and Co-founder of Hnry.James started Hnry with his wife Claire from the humble beginnings of an excel spreadsheet.Listen to James sharing a great lesson in finding product/market and pricing a SaaS product.If you are coming back, thanks so much for your support.If you’re new to the show, make sure to follow us and leave a review.Apple scroll to the bottom of the page (iphone or ipad only), hit 5 stars and write a review Spotify  in the app click 5 starsSubscribe and like on YoutubeThanks for your support.About Tier One PeopleFounded by Dexter Cousins in 2016, Tier One People is on a mission to help Australia become the world leader in Fintech innovation.Tier One People helps companies like Revolut, TrueLayer and 10x build founding teams for launch in Australia. And series A+ / ASX Listed Aussie Fintech like Lendi, Afterpay and 86 400 hire executive talent capable of delivering growth and scale. If you are building a world-class Fintech venture and need help in hiring tier-one people contact usSend us a textContact info@tieronepeople.com for further detailsSubscribe Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/fintech-leaders-7092732051488980992/Connect on Linkedin: https://bit.ly/3DsCJBp
