In this episode, Jamie sits down with David Benskin, Founder and CEO of Wealth Access, to talk about what it takes to build a fintech company that people trust, and why relationships matter more now than ever.

David shares how he went from private banking to launching a fintech startup, why “fifty-year relationships” guide every decision he makes, and how culture and clarity shape the way his team works. They dive into hiring people who genuinely care and why doing the right thing is still the most underrated leadership strategy in financial services.

It’s two people talking about work, people, trust, and how to build something that lasts in an industry where everyone eventually crosses paths again.
