Can mobile money really save whole percentage points of a nation's GDP, and unlock an economy in the process? JD explores this with Ben Kolesar, Operations Lead at Wave Mobile Money, whose unlikely path from Congressional staffer to fintech pioneer brought him to the front lines of financial inclusion across Sub-Saharan Africa. Ben unpacks the painstaking work of launching mobile payments from scratch in a new country, the fish traders who became Wave's unlikely first customers in Senegal, and why the most powerful thing a tech company can offer the world's poorest people is simply a cheaper, more reliable way to move money.
