    Episode Title:🇬🇧IFGS & Regulation in Transition Through Tech and Global Turbulence🇬🇧

    We’re in London this week at IFGS. Heads Talk spoke with the CEO of the organisation behind this incredible gathering of Fintech’s Who’s Who.

    On another note, I believe today’s guest is one of the best people to unpack what many in the West are thinking amid the current geopolitical climate, especially given her citizenship in 4 of the countries involved. Political Scientist or not, she offers a rare lens on how different nationalities perceive the situation. It’s an opinion, and a valuable one.

    Today for the 💵 ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕥 & 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪💵 series we have Janine Hirt, CEO of Innovate Finance.

A regular speaker at global conferences, her impressive media appearances include Sky News, BBC World News, ITN Business, CityAM, Forbes, and the Financial Times.

    Under her leadership, Innovate Finance has played a key role in shaping the UK's Open Finance landscape. In partnership with KPMG, they co-authored The Roadmap to Open Finance in the UK, highlighting data portability and digital identity as core to empowering consumers and driving fintech innovation.

    Episode Title:🇺🇸High Stakes: The Poker Game of Global Markets and Economic Power🇺🇸

    We’ve got a real treat for you today on the 💵 ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕥 & 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪💵 series on Heads Talk. Not just because of the exceptional guest (who I’ll introduce in a moment), but because of what she brings. A rare blend of market intelligence, macro strategy, and the kind of insight that shapes how institutions move billions.

    You know those conversations where every sentence is a data drop? This was that. Clear-eyed, forensic, and ahead of the curve. We dove into the mechanics behind the market calls that ripple through Wall Street.

    And if that weren’t enough, we revisited one of my favourite themes. Back in 2021, I first spoke to the brilliant Schaad about the eerie echoes of the 1920s. Since then, a wave of 2.0s has been unfolding… could one of them be 1929? You’ll have to hear what the experts think.

    Gina Martin Adams, Chief Equity Strategist and Global Head of Portfolio Strategy at Bloomberg, is a leading authority in equity strategy and portfolio management, known for her expertise in fundamental, quantitative, and technical analysis. A top-ranked strategist, she has shaped market outlooks, sector strategies, and investment allocation at major institutions for decades, leveraging data-driven insights, macro trends, and sector rotation models.

    Prior to Bloomberg, she led U.S. Equity Strategy at Wells Fargo Securities and held key roles in Economic Analysis and Investment Strategy at Wachovia Bank and Evergreen Asset Management.

    Topics Covered:
    ◽️Trump’s Tariff Gambit: Stock Market Ripples, Global Trade Wars & Investment Shifts
    ◽️Currency & Power Shifts - De-dollarisation or Devaluation?
    ◽️Playing Poker with the International Markets?
    ◽️Potential IPO Issuance Freeze in Early 2025
    ◽️Echos of the 1920s? Assessing Risk of Great Depression 2.0: Are Current Economic Indicators Misleading?
    ◽️Equity Market Speculation Narrowly Focused on Tech
    ◽️From Tweets to Trades Sentiment Analysis Moves the Market
    ◽️Use of NLP
    ◽️Behavioural Finance, Psychological Biases, and Bloomberg Pulse Model
    ◽️Gut Check - Gut Instinct vs Data
    ◽️Preparing for the Unpredictable - Black Swan Events & Tail Risks in Financial Markets

    NB: This was recorded prior to Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement. All the more reason to tune in for the insights... and foresights.

    Episode Title:🇺🇸Democratising Investment Opportunities🇺🇸

    I had a fantastic time speaking with my next guest for the 💵 ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟 𝕚𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕥 & 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪💵 series on HeadsTalk. Rarely do I meet someone who so perfectly mirrors my twin obsessions: mathematics and art. We talked about that familiar tug-of-war between the analytical and the artistic—when your 'maths brain' and your 'creative soul' keep jostling for airtime. It’s a paradox I know well (once explored it in an article some years back), and it was a joy to unpack it with someone who lives it just as vividly. The promo video for this series gave you a subtle glimpse - but trust me, the full conversation, both on and off mic, was a tonic.

    Mical Jeanlyn-White, Wall Street Executive, MD JP Morgan Chase and currently the CEO of Wealthmore is a powerhouse in the financial industry. She led, for JP Morgan, a $22 Billion Dollar Credit Card Portfolio and launched Innovative Products like My Chase Plan and the Slate and Sapphire Cards.

    With over 2 decades of leadership in global financial services, she held top executive roles, driving innovation in consumer finance and wealth management at American Express, Nestlé; and Accenture.

    Topics Covered:
    ◽️Wall Street's Evolution: Structural Changes, Automation & Talent Shifts
    ◽️New Generation of Wealth Builders
    ◽️Breaking Past Barriers to Wealth
    ◽️Wealthmore: Democratising Financial Advisory
    ◽️The Deepseek Investor Profile
    ◽️Investor vs Borrower Dilemma
    ◽️Future Pension Gaps and Retirement Funds
    ◽️The “Golden Age” of Business?
    ◽️All The Wealth Podcast – Now on Spotify
