## Resource

It's hard to imagine (go ahead and try) a fintech veteran with as much combined common sense, wisdom and experience as Tom Shen. In this episode, the second of two parts, Tom sets us straight on how winning companies will treat AI as much more than a technology--and make the links to people and purpose as part of a savvy plan, not an afterthought. Check out Episode 228 for more of Tom's thoughts on the state of fintech in 2026.
