The episode is sponsored by Plesk and Freemius.

In this episode, Jean joins Asif on the show to have an informal chat between friends.

We touch on some important topics such as:

 	* the current state of WordPress and thoughts about its future,
 	* what it means to retire in your mid-thirties,
 	* the impact of travel and living abroad on our lives,
 	* how our parents' lifestyles shaped our choices and motivations
 	* life in Bangladesh

Asif is one of my favorite people in the WordPress community; I really respect what he's managed to achieve so far and best of all the fact that he has remained very humble and open to sharing his knowledge with anyone who approaches him for help and mentorship. I wholeheartedly support the drive to have Bangladesh host their first WordCamp ever, and hope to have the chance to visit this country in the near future.

Enjoy the show!

Episode 172 – P2P Lending on Debitum with Henrijs Jansons

In this episode, Jean and Joe interview the founder and CEO of Lonvest, Roman Katerynchyk.

We dig into how P2P lending for consumer loans works, and what kind of models power the decisions to give loans or not to new customers. We discuss the ethical side of P2P lending, and the big issue with millions of unbanked people in developing countries.

For example:

 	44% of Vietnam's population was unbanked in 2022, but a higher percentage remains under-banked.
 	Only 6% of the population in Vietnam have credit cards.

We also talk about how Lonvest works, why Roman started this new business after many years in the fintech and traditional consumer loans space, and what comes next for the platform. Roman also explains how Lonvest is differentiating itself in the market and bringing a new level of transparency to the game.
