With so many people struggling to manage their finances effectively, the financial services industry is steadily shifting its focus from increasing financial inclusion to improving financial health.

In this episode, Jennifer explains what consumers stand to gain from these advances, how banks will benefit too, and how the work being done now is laying the foundation for a more equitable financial future.

Money Travels Podcast Season 3, Episode 7

Back in 2011, @ColinandSamir's decision to build a YouTube business creating Lacrosse videos seemed risky, baffling friends and family alike. But by building a loyal community and learning to monetize their content, they soon turned their passion into a thriving business, selling their Lacrosse Network in 2014. Their journey wasn’t without hurdles. Financial uncertainty gave way to creative doubts. All the while, Colin and Samir struggled to access support from banks that didn’t recognize creators as legitimate businesses. Fast forward to today, and Colin and Samir have found a new niche – and a new audience – as two of the most respected voices on the creator economy.

In this episode, we speak to Colin and Samir about their inspiring rise and the lessons they’ve learned. We’ll hear how they built two successful ventures from scratch, we’ll learn the principles of building a creator business, and we’ll discover the importance of building an audience. We’ll also ask why creators face so many logistical challenges—and what the financial services industry can do to support them.

Money Travels Podcast Season 3, Episode 6
Since WWII, America’s two-week pay cycle has seen ordinary workers having to wait for their paycheque to pay their bills, put food on the table, and cover any expenses. With anywhere from 30-77% of Americans living paycheque to paycheque, this antiquated model has seen many go into debt, with others struggling to maintain healthy finances. Earned wage access has changed all that. Now, workers can access the money they have already earned whenever they want it. Leading this change is ⁠DailyPay⁠, whose platform of financial health products underpins its mission to improve financial wellness for ordinary workers. In today’s episode, DailyPay’s former Chief Commercial Officer Ryan Mang explains the innovations behind this transformation and the impact it's having on employees, employers, and the wider economy – both in America and beyond.
