Three continents, four time zones, and five members of the Money20/20 global content team. It's a jam-packed inaugural episode of Everything is Fintech, filled with lots of unfiltered opinions and predictions on where the industry is headed this year.Do we have a crystal ball? Well, not exactly. But we gave our best (and in some cases, funniest) educated guesses. And at the same time, we looked back on our 2024 predictions to see what actually came to fruition, and what turned into a figment of our imagination.Because fintech is like the wild frontier, where everything is in flux and the rules are being rewritten every day. We're at the edge of a massive shift—politically, economically, and socially—and who knows what’s coming next? But one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be unpredictable, exciting, and full of unexpected twists. Truth is though, can anyone really predict what the future of fintech holds? Well, we can try, but 'Who In The F Knows'!Hosted by: Zach Anderson Pettet, VP, Fintech Strategyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/zachpettet/Guests:Scarlett Sieber, Chief Strategy and Growth Officerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/scarlettsieber/Sheryl Chen, Head of Content, Asiahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sherylckx/Ian Horne, Head of Content, Europehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-horne-86335399/Micky Tesfaye, Content Lead, Europehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/micky-tesfaye/Follow Money20/20:YouTube: @Money2020TvLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/money2020/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/money20_20Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Money2020X: https://www.twitter.com/Money2020TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@money20_20
