Someone offered a sound piece of advice today – turn off the news for a while and read a book. Or while you’re here, my recap of the interesting conversations that I had this week with so many innovators and thought provocateurs. And if you are looking for a good book recommendation, try The Restless Wave, a novel about the US Navy written by Admiral James Stavridis, who, among other noted accomplishments, served as the 16th Supreme Allied Commander at NATO. Thank you for reading and have a great weekend! ► Digital data deficit. Ingo Payments CEO Drew Edwards tells me why getting rid of the paper check won’t be a “government-built solution” and probably not a 6-month project. https://lnkd.in/enTMPyDr ► “Just because” or busted washing machine?

That was the theme of my conversation with Nandan Sheth on what’s next for banks and the role they play in Pay Later at checkout: https://lnkd.in/eBqbhyxz ► AI Agents are coming for bankers. i2c Inc. CEO Amir Wain outlines some of the critical infrastructure elements needed for a successful agentic AI strategy: https://lnkd.in/eYCdWsjG
