Money Isn't Everything
Who says banking must only be about the bucks? Money isn’t Everything, a show published monthly, focuses on the broader view of how banking integrates with and influences the lives of consumers and businesses. From financial health to the many unexpected places traditional banking is appearing, the show explores the fringes of change in the industry with early-stage startups, academics, journalists and creative fintech thinkers. It's hosted by Mary Wisniewski, Cornerstone's editor-at-large and long-time fintech reporter.
Money Isn't Everything
The Disability Economy, by the Numbers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
People with disabilities are often treated as a niche. In reality, more than 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. live with some kind of a disability.
Today on the show, Mary chats with father-son founders Amit and Angad Sahgal of LetMeDoIt about why financial services miss this market and how their startup is using technology to support independence and design financial tools that work for more people.
