Founder's Story · 2026-08-24 · 23 min
Daniel opens the episode by asking Vince whether the phrase “when you do something different, people might think you’re crazy, but when you make it with success, they think you’re a genius” resonates with him. Vince says there is a fine line between crazy and genius, and that entrepreneurs often live on that edge depending on whether the idea ultimately works. The episode then traces Vince’s path from Queens, Hofstra University, and Lehman Brothers in 1988 to becoming a Wall Street innovator focused on access, liquidity, regulation, digital assets, and financial media. Vince explains how he saw opportunities in restricted stock and alternative liquidity that others dismissed, how he learned to innovate within regulated markets, and how FINTECH.TV became a platform for education, awareness, and storytelling around emerging financial technologies. The conversation also dives into the future of media and finance. Vince explains why content creates awareness, how data from content consumption can become actionable, and why the acquisition of TAP turns FinTech Media Group into more than a media company.
