A Bit About Me

Hey, I’m Simon. I’ve been in FinTech since 2009, diving deep into everything from payments to mobile banking and leading digital transformation for global banks. I started my newsletter, Fintech Brainfood, as a weekend hobby, and now it’s a space where I break down the complex world of finance for over 40,000 subscribers. I’ve always had this knack for seeing the bigger picture – breaking things down to first principles to understand why systems work the way they do. In this course, my aim is to help you see these systems through a clear, actionable lens – giving you the tools to make smarter decisions and stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of FinTech and banking.

FAQ

  • How much time will I need to dedicate each week?

    That’s entirely up to you. Each lesson is just 10–15 minutes long, so you can binge it all in one go, take it one lesson a day, or even one a week. No pressure—go at your own pace and fit it into your schedule however it works best.

  • Do I need prior knowledge of FinTech or banking?

    Nope! Whether you're brand new or already working in the space, this course is designed to give you the core knowledge you need, without assuming you’re an expert.

  • How long do I have access?

    Forever. It’s a one-time payment for lifetime access.

  • What am I buying right now?

    You're getting lifetime access to the full Fintech Brainfood course — all 12 lessons. Right now, only the first lesson is live. As new ones are published, they’ll be added automatically to your account.

  • So... I’m paying full price for one lesson?
