When I'm editing these clips, it's typically the transitions that I struggle with, not the story work, that I'm comfortable with. Today is different. My chat with Zilch's @philip_belamant was so rich in highlights that the first version of this summary wa…https://t.co/qb9q9ADlQI

This is the big one.

As you'll hear in the intro, I'd been hoping to speak to @philip_belamant since this show was just an idea. I even tried to use family connections to get an introduction when I saw he'd gone to the same school as Alastair Moore😁…https://t.co/D7Dptgtd51

I know @rayan5h is planning to be there, and based on the sponsors alone, I'm expecting a few other familiar faces when, late this summer, I make my first appearance at the Credit Scoring and Credit Control Conference in Edinburgh.

I've been an immigrant three times over, but the easy way, under the wing of an employer in the financial services. Most immigrants don't have it so easy.
They might have packed suitcases, placed their pets in quarantine, and have a container on a ship e…https://t.co/97S7AlB3Jf

People move. Credit history doesn't.

Or it didn't.

Because it couldn't. But now it can.

In just under a month, I'll be in Amsterdam for #Money2020eu to record not one but two episodes of How to Lend Money to Strangers, with Craig Smith and Demi Ariyo.

In 2018, I spoke at an event that Fintech Nexus put on in Shanghai. My talk was just after Misha Esipov's, or it might have been just before, but in either case, we exchanged the usual pleasantries and business cards and that was about it.

And yet, four…https://t.co/qi2vEc5cF4

Traditionally, perhaps because it is our money at stake, we've expected borrowers to flex their lives around the terms and conditions of our loans. @customcredituk and the team at Custom Credit think it should be the other way around, with loans that flex…https://t.co/NZ0gE6dWWQ

I've spoken to a lot of founders on this show, many of whom came to a point where they had to leave a successful and established career to pursue an uncertain dream. One of those founders had to teach himself to code in Unity and get into an entirely diff…https://t.co/dU5u7QPnCO

I recently had the pleasure of catching up with Charlie Wise when he was in London, and of hearing more about his team's research into the mindset and performance of new-to-credit consumers.

In August last year I spoke to Gideon Griebenow about quitting his job in credit risk consulting to pursue a crazy dream of publishing his own world-builder computer game - well now it’s call coming to fruition.
