Episode 4: Divine - from crack to rap, to tech

About this Episode

I first heard about Divine through Scarlet Sieber, a good friend of mine who said “you have to hear his story.” And I’m so happy I listened to Scarlet. Divine’s story is so unique and so compelling that he is actually the inspiration for this podcast. I’ve had the chance to interview Divine before and I realized his story was worthy of so much more than just ten minutes of my time.

I’m not the only one who feels this way. Divine has been interviewed and profiled in multiple publications over the past few years. Personally, I think the Forbes article detailing how Divine came to meet and become introduced to FinTech through the Venture Capitalist Ben Horowitz is still one of my favorites. This will make a great movie one day (Yeah Divine, I’m going there again. Let me know we you’d like me to draft the screen play).
