One Vision fintech fuse

It’s not all doom and gloom for fintech. Now is the time to build.

Season 6

We consume a lot of information each day. When we read the latest news about what’s going on in fintech, venture capital, and the different spectrums of new technology, we aren’t always provided context around the broader story, nor are we often brought into the lives of those building what’s next. Context is important, as is understanding how technologies are impacting our lives. Those that shape the news can either remove or fan the flames of biases around our perception of these changes and how they impact our communities. In this episode of One Vision, Bradley chats with Mary Ann Azevedo, Senior Report at Techcrunch, about how she sees the current fintech landscape, and how she approaches the craft and responsibility of reporting the changing face of technology.
