FOF 189 | Robert Wesley. Payments Drive Businesses.
Robert Wesley, a payments veteran from American Express, Mastercard, and GoDaddy/Poynt, explains how payments went from invisible infrastructure to the front door of the customer experience. The conversation covers the shift from paper to embedded, omnichannel commerce, what small businesses actually need, the hidden cost of surcharges, the importance of cash flow, and why—as a finance teacher—he tells students that AI is "promoting you to be a manager," not replacing you.
