Summary

Today on Radical Personal Finance I'm pleased to introduce you to a brand-new sponsor! And, it's a sponsor who will help you save some cash!

I've been aware of SoFi for quite awhile and they were high on my list of brainstormed potential sponsors for the show. I was finally able to connect with them at #FinCon15 in Charlotte this year and to hammer out the terms of a sponsorship agreement.

SoFi is a very cool new company that is bringing real innovation to the lending space. They got their start by helping people refinance student loans but now they're aggressively expanding to other areas as well.

My guest today is one of the co-founders, Dan Macklin. Sit back and enjoy the story of entrepreneurship and industry-changing innovation!
