With Brett King in the fast lane - and what a ride it continues to be.

WYFT or What’s Your Focus Today!

I've known Brett King from way back (in my Wall Street days), and was always beyond impressed to see what this man is capable of ... I was also fortunate enough to have briefly worked with him on a financing round (with Moven), and had him also present at one of my early Meetups at Belcham's Atelier. Anyway, as you will find during my conversation with him, it's all over the place, which is a good metaphor for the man himself. From his LinkedIn profile, let me share with you his bio for proper color: "Brett King is a world-renowned futurist and speaker, an International Bestselling Author, and a media personality who covers the future of business, technology and society. President Xi Jinping cited his book Augmented on the topic of Artificial Intelligence. He has spoken in over 50 countries, at TED conferences, given opening keynotes for Wired, Techsauce, Singularity University, Web Summit, The Economist, IBM's World of Watson, CES, SIBOS and many more. He has appeared as a commentator on CNBC, BBC, ABC, Fox, and Bloomberg. He previously advised the Obama administration on Fintech policy and advises regulators and bank boards around the world on technology transformation. King hosts the world's first and #1 ranked radio show on FinTech called "Breaking Banks" (177 countries, 6.5 million listeners). He is the CEO and Founder of Moven, a successful mobile start-up, which has raised over US$47 million to date, with the world's first mobile, downloadable bank account, available in the United States, Canada, UK, Indonesia, Russia, and New Zealand. Named "King of the Disruptors" by Banking Exchange magazine, King was voted American Banker's Innovator of the Year, voted the world's #1 Financial Services Influencer by The Financial Brand and was nominated by Bank Innovation as one of the top 10 "coolest brands in banking". He was shortlisted for the 2015 Advance Global Australian of the Year Award for being one of the most influential Australians living offshore. His books have been released in over a dozen languages and he has achieved bestseller status in 20 countries. His fifth book Augmented: Life in the Smart Lane is an international bestseller, top 10 in North America and has remained in the top-10 on Amazon for over 18 months. Bank 4.0 is his latest bestseller. You wanna talk disruption? Talk to Brett! Enjoy (and apologies for the "outside" background at the start, as I was taping on his porch, which was not a good idea, clearly). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/WYFT/support
