The Unfinished Product
The Unfinished Product is a podcast about the personal - and often untold - moments that influence founders' and operators' journeys. They may have raised millions or nothing at all, but they’re all doing incredible things that we can all learn from today. We have as much to learn from those who are on the journey as those who have finished it, but most people aren’t telling those stories. I'm here to tell those stories.

In this episode I'm joined by Karan Shanmugarajah. Karan’s journey has taken him from Sri Lanka to Canada and finally to the UK. His passion for finance started when he was a kid and it never really stopped! He’s gone from managing the wealth of some of the UK's wealthiest individuals, to creating the tech to manage the digital wealth management revolution.
