In Ep. 6, Mike and Simmy dive into the story of Stephen Hakami, a 25-year-old college dropout who built Wiza: a SaaS tool that enriches Linkedin prospect lists with high-quality contact info so they can be targeted off-platform. He started the company only 3 years ago and today it's generating over $6M/yr in revenue! Then the guys put on their lab coats for a discussion about Kathryn Cross, the 24-year-old founder of Anja Health. Kathryn has created a DTC startup in the nascent industry of stem cell banking, raising millions from investors like Balaji and Alexis Ohanian. Anja helps new parents save the placenta and umbilical cord at birth and store it for decades so the valuable, unique-to-you stem cells it contains could be used at some point in the future to treat a life-threatening disease for you or a loved one. 0:00 Intro 1:20 Story of Stephen Hakami (Wiza) 18:20 Story of Kathryn Cross (Anja Health) Make sure to like, subscribe, or leave a review for Our Future Podcast, the entrepreneurship podcast for young people!  Check out Wiza: https://wiza.co/ Check our Factored Quality: https://www.anjahealth.com/ Follow the show on TikTok: @ourfuturepod  Follow the show on IG: @ourfuturepod  Message Michael on Twitter: @michaelsikand.  Message Simmy on Twitter: @_simmy_  Our Future Podcast is a production of Morning Brew.

Hey FinTech friends. My name is Helen Femi Williams, and I'm your host of this new podcast. Hey FinTech friends!This podcast is brought to you by This Week in FinTech, which is on the front page of global FinTech news, fostering the largest FinTech community through newsletters, thought leadership, and events. Oh, and now podcasting. And what's quite cool about this community is the creativity, the intelligence, and also understanding that those who work in the field are just regular people who've decided to devote themselves to solving a particular problem. And with that comes a unique mix of finance, technology, and fun, which is exactly what this podcast wants to explore. So expect this content to be informative? Yes. But we're also keen to get to know our founders and ask them questions you didn't know you needed answering. So let's talk about the structure of this podcast. First, we're gonna go through the news. And if you're a subscriber to this week in FinTech newsletter, you're in luck because this is the audio version. Then we're going to chat with this week's friend, which is Wiza Jalakasi, VP of Global Developer Relations at Chipper Cash. And lastly, I'll tell you a bit about the latest signal article. ‘Fintech Founders: Decimal's Matt Tait on Fundraising During a Downturn' written by Dez Flemming.Oh, and one last thing before we start this interview, I should tell you that every episode, we're going to be dropping a ‘fin-techionary. The dictionary definition of a FinTech keyword, which we talked about on the podcast with our guest, and this week, it's:cross-border paymentsAccording to the Bank of England, Cross-border payments are financial transactions where the payer and the recipient are based in separate countries. They cover both wholesale and retail payments, including remittances.Cross-border payments can be made in several different ways. Bank transfers, credit card payments, and alternative payment methods such as e-money wallets and mobile payments are currently the most prevalent ways of transferring funds across borders.So hope you enjoy our friendly chat with this week's friend. But first this week in FinTech….

Natural intuition is more powerful than all the rocket science in the world. As a species, we are the unhealthiest life form on the planet. We have been here the shortest amount of time and done the most damage. Actually we are the ONLY species causing damage. We are stressed-out materialistic comfort-driven beings totally out of touch with nature, and as a result hundreds of millions of people are rapidly aging, falling apart and dying long before their time. Almost everyone in the modern world has some kind of physical problem now. Many have silly diseases for no other reason than they are either too lazy or they just don't know any better. I can hear and I hear some Falks saying. "I can do what I want, and if something happens, a doctor can fix it". Right? Nooooo Falks thats Wrong. Doctor's don't fix. They hide symptoms. They drug you up so you don't feel anything. They cut out infected body parts and give you poisons to try and kill things. If you break a bone or cut off a finger- they put the bones and finger back in place and hope your body will heal it. Doctors don't heal you- your BODY does the healing. Ask a doctor what caused a disease and they probably won't have a clue. Boom!!! Change your lifestyle change your thinking change your health! MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

Skąd się biorą migranci na granicy polsko-białoruskiej? Outriders i "Wiza Donikąd" Liban, Dubaj, Mińsk, Polska, Litwa, Niemcy… Jak wygląda cała podróż migrantów m.in. z Bliskiego Wschodu do Europy. Jaką rolę odgrywa w tym Białoruś i jej polityka? Na te pytania na antenie Radia Kampus odpowiadała Karolina Baca- Pogorzelska dziennikarka Outriders. Ta niezależna grupa reporterska relacjonuje i tłumaczy zjawiska oraz wydarzenia na całym świecie. WizaDonikąd to projekt, który ma pokazać jak działają mechanizmy, przez które tysiące ludzi dostają się na pogranicze polsko-białoruskie. Sprawdzili również, jak działa „turystyka migracyjna” m.in. w biurze turystycznym w Bejrucie. Dotarli do ofert biur podróży pośredniczących w tym procederze i poznali cennik wciąż drożejących usług.  Zakros Travel z Jordanii, Al-Nayzak z Iraku, Mehan Türk i Alkabidda z Turcji oraz białoruska agencja turystyczna Ulla Bel – to tylko niektóre biura podróży oferujące „wycieczki do Białorusi”. Oficjalnie lub mniej oficjalnie.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysGi3lxNgYs

Witam Cię w 83 odcinku podcastu WIĘCEJ NIŻ FOTOGRAFIA. Zapraszam Cię bardzo serdecznie na kolejną inspirującą rozmowę z Absolwentką AKADEMII MAGICZNEJ FOTOGRAFII Sonią Siemiernik. Sonia jest fantastyczną mamą trzech chłopców, która postanowiła spełnić swoje marzenie o fotografii. Dołączyła do grona moich Kursantek i bardzo sumiennie przerabiała wszystkie lekcje. Przy wykonywaniu zadań domowych zwykle towarzyszyli jej synowie, dzięki czemu mogła spędzać z nimi cenny czas i jednocześnie ćwiczyć warsztat sesji w plenerze. Mówiłyśmy także o zaletach kursów online, o sile wsparcia grupy na Facebooku i pracy pod czujnym okiem Basiolandii, która zawsze czuwa nad Kursantkami. Wspaniale jest obserwować, jak Sonia rozwija swój biznes i zarabia na fotografii. Czy było warto oraz, czy Sonia jest zadowolona z miejsca, w którym się znalazła? Dowiesz się z tego odcinka podcastu.   O CZYM POSŁUCHASZ W TYM ODCINKU: kim jest Sonia i jak zaczęła się jej przygoda z fotografią, czy można pogodzić pracę zawodowego fotografa z byciem mamą trzech chłopców, czy obsługa aparatu jest trudna, jak Sonia trafiła do Akademii Magicznej Fotografii i co ją zaskoczyło w kursach, czego nauczyła się na kursach, jaki zawód Sonia połączyła z fotografią i czy to się sprawdza.   Koniecznie odwiedź Sonię i zostaw jej masę ciepła

W Polsce zimno, ciemno, wiatr, deszcz, śnieg, covid… A może by się przenieść w inne miejsce na ziemi? Przegląd 5 krajów, które są przyjazne do pracy zdalnej. Pamiętacie? Praca zdalna oznacza tam, skąd chcę, a nie tam skąd musze.

Nazywam się Piotrek Konopka i witam Was w kolejnym, 151 już odcinku z cyklu Piotrek Dobra Rada mówi o pracy zdalnej. Deszcz, śnieg. Ciężko się pracuje. Dookoła jeszcze covid. I tak się człowiek zaczyna zastanawiać, czy naprawdę trzeba pracować z tej Polski. Jeżeli już udałoby się nam stąd wyjechać, to warto rozważyć 5 krajów, które bardzo chętnie przyjmą cyfrowych nomadów. Bo przypomnimy - praca zdalna jest wtedy dobrze wdrożona, kiedy możecie pracować nie tam, skąd musicie, ale tam, skąd chcecie. Czyli przegląd pięciu krajów, gdzie możecie sobie pracować zdalnie. Przede wszystkim na miejscu numer jeden jest to Gruzja. Wiza na 1 rok jest darmowa. I dzięki tej wizie możecie tam pracować. Oczywiście internet jest dobry. Ludzie mówią po angielsku. Bardzo zachęcają właśnie cyfrowych nomadów do pojawienia się w tym kraju - tak, że Gruzja punkt numer jeden. Punkt numer dwa to Bermudy. Wiza na jeden rok wynosi 263 $, więc troszkę drożej. Internet jest dostępny, aczkolwiek w niektórych miejscach potrafi być drogi. Oczywiście z łatwością dogadacie się tam w języku angielskim. Trzecim krajem to jest Estonia. My, dzięki temu, że jesteśmy członkami Unii Europejskiej to do Estonii możemy się przeprowadzić w dowolnym momencie. Ale te osoby, które mieszkańcami krajów poza Unią, to wiza na jeden rok kosztuje 118 $. Nazywa się Digital Nomad Visa. Tak, że ten kraj również zachęca przybyszów do tego, żeby osiedli u nich. Jeżeli macie więcej pytań na temat samej Estonii, to Artur Kuczmowski z kancelarii Thomson Stein specjalizuje się w obsłudze rynku estońskiego Czwartym krajem są to również wyspy - jest do Antigua i Barbuda. Tam dwuletnia wiza kosztuje 1500 $ ale możecie pracować również na plaży i całkiem nieźle wam będzie wychodziło wrzucanie ciekawych instastories na instagrama z niesamowitym widoczkami. I ostatnim, piątym krajem to jest Barbados, czyli miejsce, z którego pochodzi między innymi Rihanna. Jednoroczna wiza kosztuje 2000 $. Możecie sobie też pracować z plaży z tego Karaibskiego kraju. Tak, że zastanówcie się, czy deszcz, śnieg i covid mogą stać na przeszkodzie czy mogą pomagać temu, żeby podjąć decyzję o zmianie miejsca lokalizacji swojej pracy. Dzięki serdeczne. Do zobaczenia i usłyszenia w poniedziałek. Na razie!

Pierwszy odcinek noworoczny rozpoczynam krótką solową serią poświęconą mojej podróży do Kalifornii. Wyjechałam do Stanów pod koniec 2019 i spędziłam tam ponad pięć tygodni, spełniając tym samym jedno ze swoich największych marzeń. Postanowiłam podzielić się z Wami moimi doświadczeniami w trzech podcastach: o kwestiach organizacyjnych związanych z wyjazdem, o porównaniu San Francisco i Los Angeles oraz o ogólnych wrażeniach i lekcjach z podróży. Dzisiaj zaczynamy od formalności, czyli opowiem Wam o tym jak zorganizowałam ten wyjazd. Dowiecie się co skłoniło mnie do odwiedzenia USA, jak zabookowałam noclegi i bilety. Dodatkowo zdradzę, ile wyniosły mnie poszczególne wydatki i ile łącznie kosztował wyjazd.

MultimediaLIVE — The last couple of months or so have been rather eventful for Africa's fintech scene— particularly in Nigeria where Interswitch notably attained unicorn status in November following Visa acquiring 20% of the company for a reported $200 million.Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey's much-publicised visit to Africa last month also did much to put a global spotlight on the continent’s fintech arena, and the subsequent capital raises by OPay (backed by Opera) and PalmPay (backed by Transsion) drew attention to the on-going race for platform dominance in the space.In this instalment of the African Tech Roundup podcast, Andile Masuku and The Subtext’s Osarumen Osamuyi are joined by Malawian mobile tech entrepreneur, Wiza Jalakasi, to unpack some of the most pertinent fintech industry signals and discuss their implications for the continent’s tech ecosystem at large. (To skip the introductory niceties, head straight to [11:58].)Wiza is a passionate USSD proponent who formerly headed up business development and international expansion at Africa’s Talking.

Oiça neste podcast a entrevista com a cantora Alo Wiza que apresentou, em exclusivo, esta semana, à Rádio Latina, o seu mais recente single "Holdin On".

We talked about the following questions: What is unique about Africa when it comes to merging of technology, culture and capital? How can individual Africans find role models to model after colonization destroyed the local culture and imposed a different language? How does Nigeria show that the brand of being scammers is only representative of a small part of the population? Also we mapped the startup ecosystem in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and a few other places. Africa has a lot of things going on in a lot of countries so might take a few more episodes to get all of it on here.  Follow Wiza here: https://twitter.com/wizaj

Wiza Jalakasi is a serial entrepreneur and current head of international expansion at Africa is Talking. You can connect with him @wizaj on Twitter and via his website http://wiza.jalaka.si. By 16, Wiza had already founded his company, Mwtunes, an online music distribution platform that was ahead of its time in his home country of Malawi. At university in Nairobi, he and his cofounder set up Djuaji, Research, a market research company that paid survey participants via mobile money. It held a lot of promise. It was innovative, cost effective, and accurate. Early on, Djuaji raised seed capital from Savannah Fund and participated in its elite accelerator program. It all seemed to be going well. Until it wasn’t. Wiza and his cofounder were running out of cash and they weren’t close to figuring out how to make the business viable. He made a tough choice: He resigned and returned to Malawi. Shortly thereafter, he spoke with Sam Gikandi, founder of Africa is Talking, an API developer, who offered him a job to set up the Malawi office. Wiza had some reservations about working for someone else, but he quickly overcame those doubts and has never looked back. Africa is Talking recently raised $8.6mn for its expansion into new markets, including Cote d’Ivoire, which Wiza will be spearheading. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Wiza. He’s extremely eloquent and a fount of knowledge about the emotional roller coaster of being a young African tech entrepreneur. Without further ado, here’s my conversation with Wiza Jalakasi.

PORTLAND, OR - Oregonian's Steve Woodward has hopped aboard today with multi-media coverage of the WNBR. He's reporting 800 riders. VIDEO STORY LINK Riding cheek to cheek Not for naught nor for naughtiness do 800 cyclists pedal naked, but rather to do the globe some good Tuesday, June 12, 2007 STEVE WOODWARD Naked was the fashion Saturday night, and bikes were the luxury vehicle of choice. About midnight, with only the glow of streetlights draping them, an estimated 800 men and women pedaled madly across the Hawthorne Bridge into downtown Portland, up Northwest 23rd Avenue, down West Burnside and back into Southeast Portland in what has become an annual Portland tradition: the World Naked Bike Ride. Whooping and honking bicycle horns, the riders drew waves, cheers, laughter, camera flashes and favorable comparisons to Portland's "other" parade that very morning. Gawkers abandoned drinks and poured out of bars. Teenagers leaned out of a white stretch limousine to offer riders high-fives. According to reports from bikers, some spectators even joined the ragtag parade, shedding clothes and hopping on their own bikes. What's the occasion? The bare facts: Since 2004, Portland-area bicyclists have participated in a global event in which riders showing more skin than not ride in public to protest oil dependency. Their nakedness demonstrates bicyclists' vulnerability to cars. Last year, the Portland event drew about 500 "naked" bikers, the largest such ride in North America, according to organizers. "Portland is just a very great place," Erin Downs, a 17-year-old Northeast Portland high-school student, said at the warehouse party after the ride. "I want to be part of Portland," she said, dressed in blue hair, a blue kerchief and two studded leather belts slung low. "This is the life, blood and veins of Portland. If I didn't show up, how could I be a Portlander?" "I expected more naked people," said Mick Arrell, a 19-year-old Southeast Portland man with red, blue and green paint smeared randomly across his chest and arms. It's true. Many people stripped only as far as their skivvies. "I didn't strip down at the request of my roommate," explained Jimmy Schmierbach, 25, of Northeast Portland. "She said she didn't want to look at my junk." His roommate returned the favor, riding in her bra and panties. Although she was wearing frilly orange underwear with blue trim when interviewed, April ("like the month") Wiza said she was less modest during the ride. "All the good parts were showing," said the 27-year-old Southeast Portland resident. Wiza also displayed a poetic message for anyone behind her: "LESS GAS MORE (rhymes with 'gas')." The hand-painted message included an arrow pointing readers to her (rhymes with "gas"). On the blocked-off street outside the Organics To You warehouse party after the ride, several men had added ties to their birthday suits. One woman wore nothing on her chest but a red Superman logo. "Green power," declared a man's back. One woman dressed provocatively in cheap black lingerie -- cheap because it was painted on. Unlike many riders, friends Eric Miller, Kyle Kelley and Robin Jackson were fully dressed in something other than facial hair: Miller in natty beret; Kelley in full-on pink-and-maroon ensemble, complete with pink, feathered skateboarder's helmet; and Jackson in black fedora, dark pinstripes and red-and-white checkered vest. Miller launched his ride with a figurative fig leaf or two to preserve his modesty. "I started out not all the way," Miller said, "but I was feeling it." And, apparently, if one is feeling it, there's naught to do but shed the remains of one's modesty -- even in the middle of the Hawthorne Bridge. "It's nice to let go," said Jackson, an erstwhile Naked Bike Rider and a member, with Miller, of Portland's Marchfourth Marching Band. Actually, Jackson was dressed during the ride, too. "I was hanging out with my parents," he said sheepishly. Steve Woodward: 503-294-5134; stevewoodward@ news.oregonian.com
