Hey,

I'm Benji. I'm a startup founder. Fintech builder. Former magician. Someone who's worked 19 different jobs and failed at 7 startups before finding the one that stuck.

"Try not to become a man of success—but rather a man of value" - Albert Einstein.

I'm the founder of MyGigsters — building the financial infrastructure that gig workers and platforms actually deserve. And Megamind Creations — an award-winning software development firm turning ideas into products.

On this site, I write about:

• 🏗️ Building in public — the real story of growing a fintech startup, raising capital, and scaling from zero
• 🤖 AI & the future of work — how I run my business with AI agents and what that means for everyone
• 💸 Fintech & the gig economy — embedded finance, payments infrastructure, and why 1.5 billion workers need better tools
• 🧠 Founder lessons — 7 failures, 2 exits, and everything I've learned along the way

Some fun facts:

• Worked 19 different jobs over the last decade
• Built a private radio station at age 12
• 2 successful startup exits
• Helped 40+ founders turn ideas into reality
• Performed 50+ magic shows
• Attempted multiple Guinness World Records
• Run a team of 9 AI agents (yes, really)

I write about startups, fintech, AI, and the reality of building — no fluff, just what I'm actually learning. If that sounds useful, stick around.
