Episode Title: ๐ฎ๐นThe Globetrotter That Got Awayโฆ Until Now! - Part 1 ๐ฎ๐น
In this 2-part special on Heads Talk is a masterclass in all things fintech, regulation, and behavioural banking, brought to you by my brilliant guest.ย
You know those rare moments when you hear someone speak and think, โIf only they were my professor back in the dayโ? This is one of those moments. My guest doesnโt just talk about his subject, he lives it. A natural educator, his insights hit with the clarity and depth of a keynote, no matter the continent. And yes, I'mย convinced that even if I took a summer break to Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia or Iquitos in Peru, he would be there doing a Keynote at the same time. This guy is global!
Paolo Sironi is the Global Research Leader in Banking and Financial Markets at the IBM Institute for Business Value. With a career spanning startup founding, quantitative risk management, and now global thought leadership, Paolo is widely regarded as one of the most listened to voices in fintech and financial AI. His work focuses on the intersection of technology, regulation, and human behaviour in the transformation of banking systems. He is also a bestselling author of Banks and Fintech on Platform Economies and the host of The Bankers' Bookshelf podcast, where he continues to shape conversations around digital finance, platform economies, and the evolving trust landscape between financial institutions and customers.
Funnily enough, I first came across Paolo through mutual connections, which led me to his work and thought-provoking posts.ย

Itโs 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off Americaโs third largest cash heist. But itโs all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular โol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
