If “that’s just the cost of doing business” is draining your profits, it might be time to stop accepting the leak and start fixing the bucket.

In this episode, the host sits down with Bobby Poole, co-founder and CMO of PaymXnts, to talk about how his journey through entrepreneurship, real estate, and running a family entertainment business led him to discover a better way for business owners to keep more of their money and get it faster.

Bobby shares his origin story, from realizing early on that he was not built for a 9-to-5, to building and buying businesses, to facing the pressure of keeping things afloat during COVID. He explains how one simple question about credit card fees opened his eyes to how much money business owners quietly lose every year and how that moment eventually led to the creation of PaymXnts.

He breaks down the dual-price model, why the idea of “paying to get paid” never made sense to him, and how faster access to your money can change cash flow, payroll, and day-to-day decisions. This conversation challenges the belief that losing a percentage of your revenue is just part of the deal and offers a practical look at how keeping more of what you already earn can create more time, more freedom, and more breathing room for business owners.
