Lovely listener, share with us your thoughts!

When people talk about fintech, the spotlight usually lands on flashy products, new payment rails, or the latest crypto craze. But what if the real disruption isn’t the technology at all—what if it’s the people behind it?
In this conversation, Owen—founder of Find and talent strategist for some of the world’s fastest-growing fintechs—joins host Alex Khomyakov to challenge assumptions about compliance, hiring, and the future of work. From AI taking over junior roles, to the rise of “AI gatekeepers,” to why trust and culture remain irreplaceable, this episode explores the hidden side of scaling in a high-stakes industry.
If you’re building in fintech, leading teams, or navigating the future of work, this conversation gives you a clear, human-centered view of what really matters for scaling in a world where regulation, compliance, and AI collide.
