Episode Title: 🇨🇳Frankly, My Dear, I don't give a Damn🇨🇳

Another great episode from the Finfluencer Series 2024 on Heads Talk.  For newcomers, we invite you to explore our remarkable lineup of guests from our successful 2022 series by browsing the hashtag #HTFintechSeries.

Richard Turrin, the best-selling author of "Cashless - China’s Digital Currency Revolution" and "Innovation Lab Excellence," is an award-winning executive, thought leader, expert commentator with over two decades of Fintech Innovation Experience. 

Ranked No. 4 on Onalytica's Fintech Influencer list, he's a foremost authority on China’s digital yuan and a leading figure in the global dialogue on CBDCs. 

Having lived in Shanghai for the past decade, Richard witnessed China's transition to a "cashless" society firsthand, inspiring his book. He now focuses on writing and guiding western companies through China’s dynamic tech landscape, offering commentary to international media such as the Wall Street Journal, South China Morning Post, and CGTV’s Global Business. 

Renowned for his candour and witty insights, Richard simplifies complex concepts for his audience.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and comprehensive dive into China's digital dominance, the impact on the global stage and dispelling misconceptions about China merely imitating the West. Richard offers a compelling narrative on China's growth, challenging traditional notions of innovation.  Heads Talk also managed to get an exclusive from Richard.
