The world of payment and unified commerce contains a variety of complex business processes, risks, compliance standards, and so much more.

Senior Vice President of Business Solutions at Amaryllis, Bruce Shirey, joins host Tyler Kern to talk about navigating this complex landscape.

Shirey wanted to provide a deeper insight into the arena of payment facilitation. One successful payment facilitator, or PayFac, is Shopify. They did not start out as a PayFac. Originally, Shopify was a merchant eCommerce software platform. Shopify became a fully registered PayFac, and now 61% of their revenue is from payments.

Shirey said some companies are too focused on technology and not on the processes and regulations in the payment world. He said that companies should really identify the true objectives the company is trying to accomplish. Shirey thinks that companies typically underestimate requirements, length of time for registration and certification, and the cost of becoming a payment facilitator.

Financial freedom buys time for work that never pays a dividend

Financial freedom buys time for work that never pays a dividend

Jimmy J. Tran left corporate America in 2020, hitting his goal of leaving by 40, partly through a layoff he calls a blessing in disguise. On Beyond the Ledger he argues that financial freedom’s real value is time for unpaid work like coaching and nonprofit boards, warns that a corporate salary and incentive package is hard to replace in the near term, and shares what middle-market business owners should do before selling to private equity.

  • 01Tran never fully replaced his corporate income but found the trade-off worth it, suggesting realistic targets are stability to make the move rather than income parity
  • 02Households planning similar exits must assess insurance coverage, spousal income stability, and side projects that generate residual income before setting a departure date
  • 03Publicly declaring your financial independence goal to colleagues creates accountability and can surface investors, clients, or referrals for advisory or startup ventures
