## Resource

In this dynamic episode of The Paycast Network, host Chase and a full house of industry experts, including John McCormick of the Southeast Acquirers Association (SEAA), dive into the much-anticipated 25th Anniversary SEAA Conference at the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach . The discussion transitions from a lighthearted 1950s sales trivia session to deep insights for new agents, emphasizing the power of mentorship and professional networking in a traditionally siloed industry. Listeners get an exclusive look at the event’s highlights, from the debut of " Payments Connection "—a high-energy "speed dating" style product showcase—to the inspiring keynote from former NFL player and magician Jon Dorenbos . Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer looking to "break the ice," this episode serves as the ultimate guide to navigating one of the payment industry’s premier events and making lasting connections.
