Today, is a special episode, of great personal importance to me.

I have been learning and studying and training in fintech for years, both as a founder and through this podcast, where I'm able to have conversations with the most visionary and impactful founders, CEOs and VCs in the world of fintech.

For the past year, I've been channeling all of this experience and insight into a new company, called BELLA, that is leading with digital banking in an effort to create positive change in the world.

BELLA launched in the US on November 30th, and everything has been a blur since then. Taking a new consumer company into the world for the first time has to be one of the most thrilling experiences that exists.

In today's conversation, I'm joined by Angelo D'Alessandro, CEO of BELLA and my co-founder, but more importantly close friend and mentor, to talk about what we're building.

We cover our backstory, Angelo's approach to building teams and brands, BELLA's vision and offering, the influence of Rob LoCascio and LivePerson, the state of the world in 2020 and the implications for startups and brands going forward and more.
