Leone Parise, Co-Founder and CTO of Trace Finance, joins Jamil Hasan to explore the journey from engineer to fintech founder.
Leone discusses his early work in crypto and Trust Wallet, the realities of building global payment infrastructure, and why regulation, banking relationships, compliance, and trust can be harder problems than the technology itself.
The conversation moves from blockchain and cross-border payments to leadership, company culture, AI agents, personal growth, and the challenge of building something increasingly complex at global scale.
This isn't a conversation about price or predictions. It's about the builder: what shaped him, what changed him, and what he has learned along the way.
