Introduction

Patrick
My guest today is Vlad Tenev. Vlad is the CEO and Co-Founder of Robinhood. It was such a treat to sit down with him and discuss the behind the scenes of a revolutionary business we all know well, key details Robinhood's journey to zero cost trading and what it means to build a consumer-centric financial product.

Vlad believes in finding the harmonies across mathematics and art and applies this lens to everything he builds. We discussed Robinhood's new credit card and products on the horizon, the company's toughest moments, including the GameStop Episode and the compelling future of AI in financial services. Please enjoy this conversation with Vlad Tenev.
