[Original air date, March 21, 2023]  For this Christmas Eve episode, I revisit my 2023 interview with Adam Nash, Co-Founder and CEO of Daffy, a special fintech platform that encourages charitable giving.

Giving to charity is a powerful way to create change; even a small contribution to the right cause can transform lives and it’s a chance to make a real difference. As the year comes to an end and you get a chance to reflect back, I encourage you to learn more about Daffy. Adam was nice enough to provide a $25 bonus for Fintech Leaders subscribers → sign-up today to get an extra $25 for charity when you join Daffy. Claim your $25 here!

Adam is also a fintech veteran and prolific angel investor, who has been on the boards of Shift and Acorns, and was previously CEO of Wealthfront. He previously held leadership roles at Dropbox, LinkedIn, eBay, and Apple.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Adam’s journey at Silicon Valley and what it was like to work with Steve Jobs at Next & Apple
• Building the first fully functioning donor-advised fund in the app store and how Daffy is helping people give more to charity
• Lessons from the role of the CEO and why it’s the only role that truly understands how a company’s pieces are going to fit together
• Why Adam remains excited and bullish on consumer-focused fintech businesses, the importance of building a great team… and a lot more!
