Tearsheet Podcast: The Business Of Finance

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast where we explore the future of financial services with an eye on technology, innovation, emerging models and changing expectations. I’m Tearsheet’s editor in chief, Zack Miller. One of the tenets we founded this podcast and everything we do at Tearsheet – our reporting, conferences, awards programs, even our new Working Groups – is honesty. Honesty in what’s really important and impactful to you, our listeners and readers. It’s why we don’t use language like “revolutionary” or “seamless”. This stuff isn’t easy to get right. I’ve been in the rodeo long enough to see fads come and go with no lasting impact. We actually see it as one of our jobs – being able to distinguish wheat from chaff, sizzle from stake – to help you focus on what’s really important and tune out the rest.
