We recently launched The Current, a podcast exploring the intersection of people, finance, and data through conversations with the operators and builders shaping the employment ecosystem. Four episodes in, one thing stands out clearly, which is that the people doing the hard, foundational work in this space have sharp, non-obvious things to say about where it's all headed. Here's who we've talked to so far: 🎤 Don Weinstein, who led the creation of ADP Marketplace, on how opening the platform to competitors became a long-term advantage and built a category-defining ecosystem. → https://lnkd.in/g8PaBebK 🎤 Kyle Mack, co-founder and CEO of Middesk, on why data access was never the hard part, and where the durable value actually lives as access becomes cheaper and faster. → https://lnkd.in/gF4kpeJj 🎤 Jeff Rosenberger, former COO of Guideline, on the flat-fee pricing bet and deep payroll integrations that turned a six-person startup into one of the largest sources of new 401(k) plans in the country. → https://lnkd.in/g28k7SsG 🎤 Sima Gandhi, former Plaid and US Treasury leader, on why liability, not technology, is the real bottleneck for autonomous AI agents in payments, and why the industry has to build the trust infrastructure first. → https://lnkd.in/gBttccTf Each conversation is hosted by Finch co-founder Ansel Parikh, and we have more queued up with builders at the intersection of employment and technology. Episode 5 launches next week!
