摘要
What if gaining success only raises the stakes?
Having operated at the center of scale, Michael Tannenbaum, the former COO of Brex and now CEO of Figure and Arthur Levy, CBO of Brex, share how they’ve kept their edge, and where AI is pushing fintech next.
They join Jason Shuman to discuss:
• there’s more to operating than being great at finance
• how saying ‘no’ becomes the hardest part of success
• why financial services should focus on Blockchain over AI
• why AI is still being used as an experimental tool by enterprises
