BCN FinTech #008 in 2 weeks: A must for fintech entrepreneurs on industry regulations 💰 📜

🙌 We’re excited to share the first confirmed speaker for our next afterwork on May 24th: Silvia Calls, fintech lawyer at Abogados Fintech.

This time around, we unravel the topic of fintech regulation. We admit that law 👩‍⚖️ is not an enticing topic for everyone. However, we also know that for many fintech entrepreneurs, fintech regulation can be an incredibly painful, long, and expensive process.

That's why we're uniting the best fintech regulation experts in Barcelona to shed some light on the issue and discuss the following topics on our panel 🎤:

  • How to set up fintech operations in Spain, including getting the right licenses, certificates, etc

  • Insights into ensuring compliance with laws like AML, KYC, GDPR, SCA & more

  • A preview of what's coming in fintech law, e.g. a possible PSD3, the legal consideration of applying AI like ChatGPT in fintech environments, etc

  • Answering your questions during our Q&A

So if you've ever had any doubts or questions about regulation in the industry, this is a golden opportunity ☀️ to get more clarity.

👉 Sales are already off to a great start, so don't wait til it's too late and secure your early-bird ticket here.

Thanks to everyone that's enrolled in the Happiness ROI Programme so far. It's exciting to see such a positive response from the community as we move into week 4 and take a deeper dive into managing mindset.

This week, I'm sharing another one of the stories you submitted, and this time with permission from Valerie. I hope this guidance helps you to integrate daily habits and focus on building a strong, resilient, and healthier mindset.

"Dear Mehibe, I'd like to change how I feel about myself - I am really lacking self-confidence. I don’t have much self-belief that I’m doing a good job. Most of the time, I feel like a fraud, that maybe one day people will finally figure out that I'm just winging it…”

Thanks again Valerie, you’re not alone! Valerie and I will be meeting in Barcelona for her free coaching session. Share your story now for your chance to get a free one-hour coaching session, and feel free to contact me any time if you need further support or guidance on the Happiness ROI Programme.

Next week we'll unlock our third toolkit together, Gratitude. This is one of the key wellbeing pillars to unlocking a 25% increase in happiness levels, so don’t miss out!

With heart and integrity,

Have a great week!
