Money Isn't Everything
Who says banking must only be about the bucks? Money isn’t Everything, a show published two Thursdays each month, focuses on the broader view of how banking integrates with and influences the lives of consumers and businesses. From financial health to the many unexpected places traditional banking is appearing, the show explores the fringes of change in the industry with early-stage startups, academics, journalists and creative fintech thinkers. It's hosted by Mary Wisniewski, Cornerstone's editor-at-large and long-time fintech reporter.

Is Financial Therapy the Next Frontier in Banking?
The emotional side of money is an emerging area of interest for fintech and digital banking executives.
On today’s show, Mary sits down with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, who among other titles, is a financial therapist. In fact, through December 2024, Lindsay is working as Cash App’s financial therapist. Lindsay talks with Mary about the newer profession and how it’s already showing up in fintech in various ways. They also explore how Gen Z handles money in ways that are different from past generations.
One correction: In the interview, Mary says Square in reference to Lindsay’s financial therapy work. But Mary meant to say Cash App.
