| 6/22/26 | The Biggest Opportunity in Payments 2026: Why Distribution May Be Your Last True Advantage | PEP113 | What if the real moat isn’t your software, but your distribution? James Shepherd breaks down why vertical SaaS is exploding in payments and why agents can win if they bring the right solutions to market. AI is not your new coworker. It is a high powered math engine that rewards clear thinking, good inputs, and enough compute, and it punishes shortcuts. Christopher Dryden, Esq., sits down to talk with CCSalesPro legend James Shepherd (https://www.ccsalespro.com/) to get real about why so many... | 25m 26s | ||||||

A payment processing statement should never feel like a magic trick, yet too many merchants get hit with fees they never truly agreed to and increases they do not notice until the bank account hurts. Christopher Dryden and Jeremy Stock of Global Legal Law Firm bring on Mitchell Reisberg from Watchdog Merchant Services (https://watchdogmerchantservices.com/) to get blunt about the real-world problems small businesses face with... | 45m 23s | ||||||

| 2/2/26 | Residuals Rate Hikes & Reality: Inside ISO Economics | Payments Due Diligence Hack That Saves Money | Ever wondered why that “free” POS hardware ends up costing so much later? Christopher Dryden, Esq., sits down with Magnolia Ventures’ Jessica Casto to pull back the curtain on modern payments strategy: how software-led distribution reshaped acquiring, why processor-agnostic design protects leverage, and where the fine print quietly shifts risk to the least prepared party. We move from the realities of US card economics—reward-heavy credit that pushes up costs—into the trenches of cash discoun... | 29m 20s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | Data Is King: Building Real AI Guardrails in Payments: The AI Readiness Checklist For 2026 | PEP096 | AI is no longer a chatbot. It is an agent that can move data and make decisions. In this in-studio conversation, Leo Arzumanyan, Matthew Luciani, and Jeremy Stock cut through the hype and get practical about using AI in payments. We start where risk lives: privacy, closed versus open loops, and how to keep sensitive underwriting logic and merchant data inside your walls. Then we map the real use cases operators are deploying now: CRM ingestion, sales intelligence, document checks, and ... | 39m 54s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | Peptides, MATCH, and VAMP: Surviving the Crackdown & High-Risk in 2026 with Soar Payments | PEP095 | Banks don’t close accounts for sport; they close accounts when risk stories don’t add up. James Huber, managing partner of Global Legal Law Firm, sits down with Adam Carlson from SOAR Payments (https://na2.hubs.ly/H033tL00) to unpack what “high risk” really means in 2026, why peptides became the latest MATCH magnet, and how card‑brand programs like VAMP are changing sponsor bank behavior. If you’ve ever dealt with a surprise PayFac shutdown, frozen funds, or a sudden document request, t... | 30m 21s | ||||||

We bring together the creators of DealHub 360, Deepika Shahani and Paul Manley, to show how a centralized loan origination portal helps ISOs, lenders, and equipment vendors move faster, stay compliant, and reduce risk without adding headcount. Paul Manley shares two decades of payments and architecture experience—from ACH roots to internatio... | 43m 36s | ||||||
| 1/9/26 | Real-Time Rules That Keep Merchants Live: VAMP Portfolio Risk And Transparency | Qredible | PEP093 | Payments leaders love to say risk is everywhere, but most teams still chase it with spreadsheets, screenshots, and crossed fingers. Our conversation with Noah Fitzgerald of Qredible (visit Qredible: https://na2.hubs.ly/H02-3Md0) cuts through the haze. Our guest traces a path from pre-internet POS software to big-processor leadership and into startups that zero in on the same unsolved pain: compliance takes too long, costs too much, and fails too often at scale. The core idea is simple ... | 35m 12s | ||||||

Three percent can quietly devour fifteen percent of your profit. In this episode, we strip payments down to the levers that actually move margin: rails, contracts, tokens, data rights, and operational control. With Viktoria Soltesz of the Soltesz Institute (https://na2.hubs.ly/H02Y1Cv0), author of The CPayO: Chief Payment Officer — the role that doesn’t exist (but should), we reframe “processing fees” as an executive... | 35m 42s | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | Building An ISO in 2026: The Hard Truth from the Field With Guest Frank Pagano of VizyPay | PEP091 | The conversation opens on a blunt question: can a solo agent or a small team still build something meaningful in payments, or is the market a race to zero? Frank Pagano of VizyPay (https://www.vizypay.com/) doesn’t flinch. He argues it’s still doable, but only if you control the customer journey and make hard, long-term decisions that trade fast cash for durable value. His path into payments began with curiosity and proximity—meeting a neighbor, seeing success up close, and challenging the as... | 36m 06s | ||||||
| 12/18/25 | The CPayO: Chief Payment Officer - The Role Which Doesn't Exist (but should!) | Book Talk | PEP090 | The CPayO: Making Payments a First-Class Function (with Viktoria Soltesz) Payments isn’t a line item. It’s the circulatory system of your business. In this episode, we sit down with Viktoria Soltesz (https://www.solteszinstitute.com/), author of The CPayO: Chief Payment Officer — the role that doesn’t exist (but should), to map why every serious merchant, ISO, PayFac, or ISV needs an executive who owns payments end-to-end: banking, risk, data, UX, contracts, and compliance. We move from first... | 34m 44s | ||||||

Hark, Managing Member, Wellesley Hills Financial (https://www.wellesleyhillsfinancial.com/). Payments isn’t just rails and rates anymore; it’s capital, contracts, and data that decide who scales and who stalls. In this candid, operator-level conversation, Adam Hark maps the real terrain for ISOs, PayFacs, acquirers, and ISVs: how residual st... | 29m 00s | ||||||
