Shownotes
Matt sits down with Suneera Madhani, a powerhouse entrepreneur who turned a rejected idea into a billion-dollar business. Suneera walks discusses what her experience was like going from corporate life to launching a fintech company that changed the payments industry. She shares how she dealt with investor rejections, tore down barriers as a woman founding a business, and the stakes involved in scaling a business against the odds. You’ll hear an unfiltered conversation about the highs, lows, and the relentless resilience required to succeed. Suneera’s story isn’t just about business; it’s about daring to dream big, staying true to your values, and learning to trust your gut.
