James Herbert started Hastee in an attempt to reduce financial stress and empower individuals. He figured out a way to use technology to distribute money to workers in real time so they wouldn’t have to wait for a paycheck. What he didn’t realize was how much effort it would take to educate people that this was possible…and important.
In this episode, we discuss…
- How to succeed by making sure your employees know you’re taking care of them
- How to figure out when the market is ready for what you’re offering
- Financial education as the key to improving quality of life
- How more stable income increases productivity and mental health
