How to Lend Money to Strangers

Von: Brendan le Grange
Jetzt kostenlos hören, ohne Abo

A podcast about lending innovation and lending leadership in all the markets in which it takes place, however diverse those markets may be. In fact, it’s a case of ‘the more diverse the better,’ with guests from New York to New Zealand discussing everything from crypto-backed mortgages to crowd-funded loans for refugees to gamified loan journeys to AI-powered credit scores.


I am the host, Brendan le Grange, and I have spent the last twenty years working in - or alongside - lenders in Africa, Asia, and Europe and I’m using that experience to find and learn from industry insiders in a series of weekly interviews. Sometimes, those interviews discuss the inspiration behind a new start-up, sometimes they look back at a career spent at the lending coal face, and sometimes they explore where the latest technologies might take us. In the end, if it shapes a lending decision, we’ll talk about how. You can join us every Thursday here, or wherever you prefer to find your podcasts.

  • Bringing together multiple viewpoints, both in person and in data with Sanjib Kalita (Fintech Meetup and Guppy)
    Jun 25 2026

    Sanjib Kalita is one of the most recognisable faces in global fintech, and now one of the most recognisable voices in global fintech, too, so when I saw we were approaching 200 episodes, he was who I wanted to get on to mark the occasion.


    We talk about Sanjib's early career, his move into events, including what it has been like building Fintech Meetup, the Most Valuable Event in Fintech, and then, because Sanjib doesn't just talk the talk, we cover his own startup ventures, including why he created Guppy to transform the way in which consumers and businesses control and use credit data.


    You can learn more about Guppy at https://guppy.ai/

    Or start a personal conversation with Sanjib on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjibkalita/
