Why Solving the Problem Comes First with Rhett Roberts
10/18/21 • 32 min
If you look at the best software out there in any category, you find an interesting trend:
Most of it was designed to solve a problem its creators faced.
Whether it’s Slack or MongoDB, these products weren’t solutions in search of a problem to solve.
They’d already solved one.
The same is true for today’s guest, Rhett Roberts, Co-Founder & CEO, Product Officer at LoanPro, a company offering simplified solutions for loan servicing built when Rhett needed to find a way to solve issues faced in his auto lending business.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why solving first makes for successful companies
- How LoanPro is simplifying loan servicing
- The value and flexibility of a cloud-first API solution

Navigating the World of Remote Hiring with Aurel Albrecht
One of the greatest silver linings to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the obliteration of the requirement of physical proximity to the office.
Where you once had to target your hiring practices and campaigns to a specific area, now a lot of companies have dropped their geographical requirements all together, allowing you to work from anywhere.
And while that’s good news for the employee, it presents some unique challenges for the employer, specifically if they’re hiring international employees in locations where they don’t have an entity. On this episode of Payments Innovation, we talk with Aurel Albrecht, Founder at Lano, about:
- How Lano can help you break down those geographic walls when it comes to hiring
- Why the remote work trend is so good for businesses
- The key challenges that companies should be thinking about when hiring remotely
- The opportunities Lano and their clients are seeing from a multi-currency perspective
