How to make a positive impact with Petal’s Jason Gross
After Jason Gross realized how archaic creditworthiness is, he set out to find a better way. He started Petal to reinvent the credit card and used banking information to democratize creditworthiness. He has long been a champion of fair financial services and was a member of the consumer advisory board of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Now, with tens of thousands of customers, Petal is rising to battle the financial inequality that the pandemic has exacerbated. Gross shares how an attorney made him a stronger founder, how to hire a low-ego team, and the importance of prioritizing sleep.
