Episode Synopsis

Lisa Shield's life could be made into a movie, the 2008 film "21" dramatizing MIT's student blackjack card-counting team has got nothing on Lisa's actual life experiences. And only by her own genius did she put herself out of a job and accidentally fall into founding her first fintech company in 2000, Hyperwallet. Hear about how being a geek and Canadian put a chip on her shoulder and led her to a career that is rich in adventure. America's Cup? Yup!
