Several years ago I made a bold move...I left behind the world of working for others and set out into the wild world of entrepreneurship. Since then, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges and celebrated some incredible victories. Today, I’m proud to lead Loanspark, one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the U.S. But here’s the thing—the journey is far from over. In fact, it’s just getting started. Every day is a new adventure, a new lesson, and a new opportunity to grow. Every month, I sit down with some of the top founders and executives across all industries. We get real about the highs, the lows, the game-changing ideas, and the moments that make you question everything as a leader. No fluff, no filters—just candid conversations about what it really takes to succeed in today’s fast-paced world. I’m your host, Michael Barnett, and this is the Conversations with Michael Barnett Podcast. Follow: LinkedIn - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mic
