Join host Sam Kilmer, fintech advisor, in unscripted conversations with top fintech industry leaders. No planned corporate talking points, no scripts, and no pitches. Just useful advice and insights. Sam occasionally brings in co-hosts to mix it up like author/researcher Ron Shevlin, former American Banker editor Mary Wisniewski, and former Bank Director/FinXtech CEO Al Dominick.
