On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Nektarios Liolios, a true FinTech trailblazer, a passionate entrepreneur, and a dedicated mental health advocate. In this episode, we'll dive into Nektarios' wealth of experience and insights on the evolution of FinTech, building thriving startup communities, investing in early-stage ventures, and fostering a more inclusive and mentally healthy entrepreneurial landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS          When I started the accelerators we were riding the first wave of glorified entrepreneurship in 2011-13. Startups were cool, & we created artificial pressure around building things faster than in the wild. There were glimpses of people struggling, but I really didn't take them too seriously. The real understanding of how bad people's mental health was affected in the early stages of building a business wasn't something I was fully aware of. But It became clearer to me as we progressed with building these programmes. In 2018 I lost my Dad the day after I finished work at the accelerator, I had to deal with the mess that comes with leaving behind a big chunk of my identity. I thought, perhaps there's room to do something about this & I joined a woman I knew who had started Founder Anonymous within the VC fund she worked with to give founders the space to talk about how hard it actually is. There's a bag of things: Identity, loneliness, imposter syndrome, co-founder conflict, there are so many things that naturally happen in life that are concentrated within the world of building a startup & these people are completely left to their own devices & deal with these challenges. I got into entrepreneurship in my mid-40s, so I already feel I was a little more prepared for these things than younger entrepreneurs who haven't had a lot of life experience. But, I wasn't expecting my identity to be so messed up. The challenges between someone who works in the corporate world compared to someone who works in the entrepreneurial world are different, especially for founders. You don't have the same support system. In the corporate world, you can take some time off, and talk to HR, there may even be support initiatives. But founders are very specific kinds of animals, it takes a particular type of makeup to become one in the first place. Research shows that entrepreneurs are more likely to have anxiety, depression, and neurodiversity manifestations (ADHD, bipolar) in their family history.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The outside picture is that startups are cool & the hustle is cool & you need to ruin yourself because the potential returns of a successful startup isn't comparable to corporate life, I want to demystify that.'‘We were part of the problem; we cared about the business, we didn't care about the people behind the business.'‘We want to build a business where we don't want to kill ourselves. That doesn't mean we're not working hard, it means being allowed to say I'm struggling. Authenticity is important.'‘There's a link between wanting to be your own boss & experiencing certain mental health issues.' ABOUT THE GUEST Nektarios Liolios is a visionary FinTech entrepreneur, investor, ecosystem builder, and mental health advocate with a passion for driving positive change.

“When you're recording a movie, there are a lot of scenes that don't get into the final movie. The same as with your life, you kind of choose what moves the plot forward. What's the next thing that I need to be putting right now that will move this plot forward. We are the editors. We are the actors, we are the players. We are the directors. We are the everything. Right?” We don't get to speak to as many women as we'd like to on this podcast. We're actively working to change that. We hope that from our little corner of the audio web, we're helping some women listeners out there tap into their own superpowers and step into their full potential. We know those are big words, but for what it's worth, we mean them. In the meantime, when we do get the opportunity to speak to women founders through this platform, those interviews have always been powerful, leaving us with a lot of food for thought. This episode is no different. In it, we speak to Meirav Harel. With over 20 years of experience in finance, technology, and creating award-winning fintech innovation, Meirav Harel is a world-known expert inTech, blockchain, digital disruption, the future of finance and investment, and trading Interfaces.

She lectures, consults, provides management services and in-depth research, to leading international financial, regulatory, and academic institutions around the world, is an ambassador to EWPN (European Women in Payments Network), Former Head of Strategic Innovation Technologies at BDO, and the list goes on. We discuss: • Leaving a stable job, despite being valued and enjoying it, in order to do something of your own. “Am I capable of taking a challenge upon myself and building what I see in my vision of what I can bring to the world, at a larger scale?” • The power of setting goals and stepping outside of your comfort zone • What it takes to be an entrepreneur • The difference between failing and being a failure • The almost endless potential that lies in combining different disciplines with technology • Why everyone should learn to code • The evolution and future of money • How to navigate mentally and emotionally when things get rough at a personal level • How the people you surround yourself with impact your performance, and what traits Meirav looks for in the people around her • And more! Listen to her, there's a lot to learn from this real-life superwoman. She's been through a lot and is not afraid to be vulnerable and authentic, sharing her knowledge and hoping to empower others on their journey.

When Meirav Harel began her career as a developer during the Dot.Com era, she never once imagined her career would take her down the path of becoming one of the leading international fintech authorities. After gaining professional investment skills and leading the development of the award-winning LeumiTrade trading platform for Israeli Bank Leumi, she dove deep into the blockchain and crypto finance space and has since been chosen as "100 Most Inspirational Women in Blockchain 2020" and has been recognized twice for the "Women in Fintech Powerlist" by Innovative Finance UK. She sees the blockchain space as ultimately being guided by people: we will decide what becomes of it and how it will affect our lives. But, there is no doubt that it will become a part of our lives if it hasn't already. Between centralized blockchain tools being established by governments worldwide, the explosion of cryptocurrencies, and the real-world applications of web 3 technologies making their debuts, Meirav has one piece of advice for every entrepreneur or tech enthusiast: don't ignore this next stage of the digital age.

Katie Hyson, Director of Thought Leadership at Business Fights Poverty, interviews Naureen Hyat, Co-Founder and Business Head at Tez Financial Services and Visa Everywhere Initiative: Fintech Challenge Winner. During this week’s Spotlight interview podcast, we speak with Naureen Hyat. Naureen is a serial entrepreneur ranked on the Women in FinTech Powerlist 2017. She is co-founder of Tez Financial Services – the first fully digital financial institution in Pakistan, providing frictionless financial access to the unbanked and underbanked. She has been an Assessor of the SMART Campaign – with the aim to accelerate financial inclusion. She is also a Pakistan Credit Rating Agency alumnus. During our conversation with Naureen she explains how technology can provide the missing pieces to the financial inclusion business case by speeding up access, creating efficiencies and reducing risk. However, says Naureen, the challenge is that the formal sector so often isn’t ready to adopt technological innovations, either due to their legacy mindsets or lower prioritisation in the budget ladder. Listen to Naureen’s top three trends she foresees revolutionising the future of inclusive finance: Artificial Intelligence and robotics for acquisition, growth and risk reduction; Sharing Economy with partnerships driving the new business model and Blockchain for more customer centric use cases. Naureen is a young woman on a mission, to make finance inclusive and accessible to all. As she explains, “It’s empowering.” She believes in the importance of purpose-centricity – businesses with purpose at their heart, but isn’t convinced many she sees are really moving beyond customer acquisition. And how does she run her own businesses and be successful? “Stay focused and stay strong. Be flexible enough to pivot when the need arises.”

This week we have some great stories for you as Sarah and Simon are joined by three great guests: Mel Palmer, CMO Exo Investing Matt Valentine, Barclays UK Ventures Ali Paterson, Editor in Chief, Fintech Finance We kick off the episode by taking a look at some of the problems Revolut have been suffering from lately and the culture issues that are on-going. The general consensus is that response from Revolut has been tone-deaf at best and a great product is being lost to reputational issues, although Sarah disagrees that a product is still good if it's proven to be unlawful. The story is just the gift that keeps on giving (01:38). Next up, we talk about the Women in Fin Powerlist 2019 featuring two of our very oen 11:FS staff. It came out just in time for International Women's Day. Launched in 2015, the Women in FinTech Powerlist has increasingly attracted a global audience and an unprecedented number of nominations and applications. We take a look at if these lists shine a light on the issues or if it's just political and there are some interesting discussions around who's actually appearing on these lists (08:04). Other stories include: Bank of Ireland’s multi billion euro tech bill AI is a non-starter for 40% of startups Facebook’s cryptocoin Grab gobbles $1.4 billion investment to build super app Chime rounds out epic new fundraising round Nationwide wants in on core banking And finally, Goldman Sachs is loosening its dress code All this and much much more on this week's news show.

In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I talk to Gemma Godfrey, FinTech influencer, quantum physicist and founder of Moo.la. I’ve got the pleasure of introducing you today to an incredible individual. She’s been described as a trusted business expert and FinTech influencer, as well as one the best people in the world at clarifying complex conditions as they unfold. My guest for this episode of Informed Choice Radio is Gemma Godfrey, one of the brightest minds in the world of FinTech and investing. Gemma is the Founder and CEO of Moo.la, an online wealth manager described as the future of investing. Moo.la has been ranked among the top ten FinTech companies to watch. A trusted business expert on daytime television, Gemma makes investing simpler, more engaging and accessible. Gemma drives companies to achieve strong financial performance and public engagement, having managed investments for the world’s largest organisations, including Brooks Macdonald, where she was Head of Investment Strategy. As you will hear in the interview, Gemma has a background in quantum physics, which gives her a unique perspective on the world of FinTech, business and investment management. Ranked amongst the ‘savviest’ on Wall Street by the Wall Street Journal and on CityAM’s FinTech Powerlist, Gemma was selected by the BBC as one of the world’s top 100 women “striving to make the world a better place”. In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Gemma about how a quantum physicist got into the world of investments, why London is such an attractive location for FinTech, how customer experience in financial services is going to change over the next decade, and why we all need to learn how to KISS. Here’s my conversation with Gemma Godfrey in episode 126 of Informed Choice Radio, Everyone Needs To KISS More. Some questions I ask -How on earth does a quantum physicist get into the world of investments? -What’s driving the growth in FinTech and what can we expect to see from that sector over the next decade of so? -In practical terms, how do you think FinTech’s going to change the customer experience with financial services broadly, especially banking? -What are your thoughts on how Brexit will result in changes to FinTech and will it hamper the growth in the UK FinTech sector? -Can you talk us through why it is so important to KISS, especially within financial services?
