Today's book is a must-read for CEOs, business leaders, regulators, fintech entrepreneurs, wealth managers, behavioural finance researchers and professionals working at financial technology companies, It offers an accessible grasp of the rapidly evolving outcome economy and a view of the future of the industry. Let me share an example of questions our guest both poses and answers throughout the book: "Financial services are experiencing a near collapse of their traditional value chain, which is cornering the industry into unsustainable business models looking for hyper-scale. This often conflicts with the size of the jurisdictions in which they operate, the constraints imposed by regulations, and the low elasticity of demand in persistently low-interest rate environments. Technology has been largely seen as an opportunity to march ahead of the progressive evaporation of revenues. Yet, is this sustainable?" Compelling stuff and only a taster of what is to come. It is a pleasure to welcome the man who poses such questions, the author of "Banks and Fintech on Platform Economies: Contextual and Conscious Banking " Paolo Sironi, welcome to the show

Since our guest has written today's book, recent studies strengthen the idea that gay people differ from straight people in more than the direction of their sexual feelings.

There is great diversity among lesbians and gay men, to be sure, but in general, homosexuality is part of a collection of gender-atypical traits, just as heterosexuality is part of a collection of gender-typical traits.

These different "packages" arise because the sexual differentiation of the brain goes forward differently in individuals destined to become gay adults as compared with their same-sex heterosexual peers.

Differences in genes, sex hormones, and their interactions with the developing brain are what cause this divergence.

"The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall." ― Edward O. Wilson

Today, we talk about Hate and The Brain and ask the question, are we wired to hate? The author "The Science of Hate: How prejudice becomes hate and what we can do to stop it", Professor Matt Williams enlightens us.

Are our brains wired to hate? Is social media to blame for an increase in hateful abuse? With hate on the rise, what can we do to turn the tide? Drawing on twenty years of pioneering research - as well as his own experience as a hate-crime victim - our guest, a world-renowned criminologist explores one of the pressing issues of our age.

Today we discuss the role of big tech, algorithms and echo chambers.
