In this podcast episode, Ben Lynch shares his journey into the world of open banking, starting from a personal need to avoid bank overdraft fees.

He discusses the concept of open banking, its current status in New Zealand, and the potential regulations that might shape its future. Ben also introduces Akahu and Dolla, platforms that aim to streamline banking and payment processes for individuals and small businesses, illustrating the practical applications and benefits of open banking.

Key topics explored include the importance of adopting contrarian thinking, timeboxing, operational excellence, leadership skills, leveraging AI and technology, and abandoning practices like searching for unicorn team members, holding a fixed mindset, and neglecting work and life balance.
