Welcome back to another episode of Fintech OGs with This Week In Fintech!
Today, Iām joined by two incredible founders who have each redefined their corner of the financial world:
Jack Zhang, Co-founder & CEO of Airwallex, the global payments and banking platform powering 150,000+ businesses
Leif Abraham, Co-founder & Co-CEO of Public, the next-gen investing platform helping the top 20% of millennials build long-term wealth
In this episode, we explore their journeys from coffee shops and olive oil to building billion-dollar fintechs, why they both value first principles thinking over traditional industry experience, and their candid takes on hot topics like stablecoins, AI in finance, and tokenized assets.
They share career highs, the lows of early struggles, and the unconventional advice theyād give to anyone starting in fintech today.
