  • Great Podcast!

    The podcast episode "What's Your Disaster Recovery Plan?" is outstanding. My key takeaways from this episode are the importance of legal contracts and relationships with attorneys. The phrase "disaster comes opportunity" highlights the idea that even in challenging or adverse situations, there can be opportunities for growth, innovation, or positive change.

The High-Risk Payments Opportunity
Q: What does high risk actually mean in practical terms?
It means banks may be wary of potential losses; higher risk is about reputational concerns, chargebacks, or owner credit, not about the merchant type being dangerous.
The ISO-to-ISV Transition
Q: What are some challenges ISOs face when transitioning to software?
Many ISOs cap out and don't know how to connect the emerging technology with their current operations.
The ISO-to-ISV Transition
Q: What is the process when dealing with a new client?
We have a discovery process to unwrap the problem and provide contextual examples.
