FinTech

Any additional comments?

I was able to pick up some pointers although not that many. Thanks to the narrator for a free review copy.

Mostly unlistenable noise; slight info

Anyone beyond the most primitive, remedial level in business, finance and tech will find this an ordeal. The narrator is not only not ready for prime time, he's not ready for a rustic hoe-down. I'm sure he means well, but .... I think it is he (perhaps sometimes the author, himself no Nobel candidate) who makes simple English errors at the rate of about one every few sentences, making this laborious to listen to, and glean content from. I can barely get the content amidst this sloppy writing and incompetent delivery. Sorry guys, this is slapdash and it sucks. Oh, and for those who haven't delved in this area, there are a few brief descriptions of products that are useful, mixed with a sort of fourth-rate economics banter that is cartoonish.
