Episode notes

In this episode of "Investing in Integrity", Ross Overline has an enlightening conversation with Wole Coaxum, an incredibly thoughtful leader, and visionary entrepreneur. Wole is the Founder and CEO of MoCaFi, a financial technology company committed to helping America’s marginalized communities create wealth through better access to public, private, and social capital. Wole starts by sharing his background as he began his career at Commercial Credit in Baltimore, which evolved into Citigroup, where he gained exposure to the world of finance.

Leaving a secure position at JPMorgan, Wole embarked on an entrepreneurial journey and launched MoCaFi. Wole shares the importance of diverse educational experience and critical thinking as he benefited from various learning methods like the Socratic method, the Harkness table, and the tutorial system at Oxford, which provided him with a solid basis in logical reasoning and effective communication, skills that are vital in any career.
