## Resource

Joining the Paycast Network for an insightful 1-on-1 is Scott Morley, a self-described industry "dinosaur" and the current Director of Strategic Partnerships at Linked2Pay . Scott traces his extensive career from the early days of door-to-door sales to his current role navigating the specialized world of " complex " merchants, such as travel businesses and collection agencies. Throughout the episode, he breaks down why he prioritizes sustainable, long-term partnerships over the common "churn and burn" mentality, offering candid advice for those looking to thrive in the merchant services space. From Detroit trivia to the evolution of payment technology, Scott provides a unique perspective on avoiding the allure of high-volume " shiny objects " and the importance of finding a vertical you truly enjoy.
