Hacking Financial Wellness

 In this episode Kate Lybarger, the director and head of Payments Innovation at Discover Global Network, discusses why the financial services industry has not hacked financial wellness yet. 

We cover what financial wellness means, the role of AI, and why it might make sense to separate advice from products.
