Simon Dingle
Co-Host of Take Back the Day
Simon is a pack of mongeese stuffed into a trenchcoat, pretending to be an adult human. When they're not doing a terrible job at running companies and talking to conference attendees about how to make stuff, "Simon" spends most of their time playing video games and wishing they were recording podcasts with their friend Sam instead. Some have linked "Simon" to activities in the fintech arena, including making things called 22seven, Luno, Curve, Lettuce, and authoring a book called In Math We Trust. Simon are fine with that. Stupid humans are easily deceived. And delicious.
