Stewart Alsop interviews Tomas Yu, CEO and founder of Turn-On Financial Technologies, on this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. They explore how Yu's company is revolutionizing the closed-loop payment ecosystem by creating a universal float system that allows gift card credits to be used across multiple merchants rather than being locked to a single business like Starbucks. The conversation covers the complexities of fintech regulation, the differences between open and closed loop payment systems, and Yu's unique background that combines Korean martial arts discipline with Mexican polo culture. They also dive into Yu's passion for polo, discussing the intimate relationship between rider and horse, the sport's elitist tendencies in different regions, and his efforts to build polo communities from El Paso to New Mexico.

Turn-On Technologies is revolutionizing payment systems through behavioral finance by creating a decentralized "float" system. Unlike traditional gift cards that lock customers into single merchants like Starbucks, Turn-On allows universal credit that works across their entire merchant ecosystem. This addresses the massive gift card market where companies like Starbucks hold billions in customer funds that can only be used at their locations.2. The financial industry operates on an exclusionary "closed loop" versus "open loop" system that creates significant friction and fees. Closed loop systems keep money within specific ecosystems without conversion to cash, while open loop systems allow cash withdrawal but trigger heavy regulation. Every transaction through traditional payment processors like Stripe can cost merchants 3-8% in fees, representing a massive burden on businesses.3. Point-of-sale systems function as the financial bloodstream and credit scoring mechanism for businesses. These systems track all card transactions and serve as the primary data source for merchant lending decisions. The gap between POS records and bank deposits reveals cash transactions that businesses may not be reporting, making POS data crucial for assessing business creditworthiness and loan risk.4. Traditional FinTech professionals often miss obvious opportunities due to ego and institutional thinking. Yu encountered resistance from established FinTech experts who initially dismissed his gift card-focused approach, despite the trillion-dollar market size. The financial industry's complexity is sometimes artificially maintained to exclude outsiders rather than serve genuine regulatory purposes.5. The information age is creating a fundamental divide between curious, resourceful individuals and those stuck in credentialist systems. With AI and LLMs amplifying human capability, people who ask the right questions and maintain curiosity will become exponentially more effective. Meanwhile, those relying on traditional credentials without underlying curiosity will fall further behind, creating unprecedented economic and social divergence.6. Polo serves as a powerful business metaphor and relationship-building tool that mirrors modern entrepreneurial challenges. Like mixed martial arts evolved from testing individual disciplines, business success now requires being competent across multiple areas rather than excelling in just one specialty. The sport also creates unique networking opportunities and teaches valuable lessons about partnership between human and animal.7. International financial systems reveal how governments use complexity and capital controls to maintain power over citizens. Yu's observations about Argentina's financial restrictions and the prevalence of cash economies in Latin America illustrate how regulatory complexity often serves political rather than protective purposes, creating opportunities for alternative financial systems that provide genuine value to users.

Send us a textIs sales an art form or a rigorous science? In this episode, Scott and Mike welcome back Barton Schmitz, VP of Strategic Accounts at CAPSA, to settle the debate. The conversation begins with a surprising revelation: Barton prefers driving in absolute silence to foster strategic thinking—a stark contrast to the noise of the daily grind.Barton shares the philosophy he developed while turning around the culture at Sunrise Medical, defining sales simply as "getting people to do something they would normally not do."He dismantles the idea that sales is just "presenting" and breaks down a proven, circular methodology that turns order-takers into top performers. Whether you are selling medical devices or Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Barton argues that without a process, you are just painting with your fingers.Key Takeaways:The Power of Silence: Why successful leaders use drive time for deep thinking rather than distraction.The Definition of Sales: It isn't just offering a product; it is influencing behavior to change a result.The "Will You?" Close: Why asking "Do you like this?" is a trap, and why you must ask "Will you buy this?"The Da Vinci Debate: Mike argues for sales artistry; Barton argues that even Da Vinci had a process.The 4-Step Solution Sales Process: Barton details his "Flywheel" approach to sales, ensuring velocity and results:Prepare: Don't wing it. Understand the pipeline and the customer before the meeting.Present: This is where the commitment happens.

We start with desire, because your clients are not buying websites, copy, coaching containers, or audits, they're buying what comes after those things. I talk about how to move away from selling features and start selling the emotional, identity, and lifestyle shifts your work creates. This alone can completely change how compelling your offer feels.I also dig into why speed, simplicity, and clarity matter so much right now, and how overcomplicating your offer quietly kills urgency. Finally, why underpricing can make an offer feel less valuable, not more and why themed, experiential offers stand out in a sea of samey services. If your offer has started to feel flat or hard to sell, this episode will help you spot exactly where the energy has leaked and how to bring it back. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy people buy desire and impact, not deliverablesHow using your own words (not AI copy) increases trust and urgencyThe role of speed, simplicity, and ease in high-converting offersHow to address objections by naming the cost of not taking actionWhy a clear methodology makes your offer feel safer to buyHow pricing and theming can instantly elevate perceived value"People aren't buying the thing you sell, they're buying who they get to be after it works."

Nine out of ten startups fail, yet Europe keeps funding them the same way.Governments replace judgment with bureaucracy, capital replaces experience, and failure is misunderstood instead of learned from.This conversation exposes why venture capital is a profession, not a policy tool — and why getting this wrong quietly kills innovation.In this episode, Jim Pulcrano, Adjunct Professor at IMD and longtime venture investor, explains why most venture capital systems fail before capital is even deployed.Drawing on four decades across Silicon Valley, Europe, and academia, Jim dismantles the myth that VC success comes from spreadsheets, credentials, or government programs. Instead, he shows why pattern recognition, lived experience, and exposure to failure are the real differentiators.As Jim puts it:(01:13:27) “Silicon Valley is the world's capital of failure — and also the capital of learning.”That mindset difference explains why Europe struggles to scale founders, why governments unintentionally create zombie companies, and why operators consistently outperform theorists when backing the next generation of companies.This is not a motivational episode. It's a structural diagnosis of how innovation ecosystems actually work — and where Europe still gets in its own way.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Frustrated CEO Podcast, hosts Patrick Lyons and Patsy Feeman sit down with Mohammad Anwar, CEO of Softway and co-founder of Culture+, for a candid conversation on leadership, company culture, and business transformation.Mohammad shares his powerful origin story, how rapid success left him “power drunk,” and how Softway's once-strong culture turned toxic—nearly driving the company into bankruptcy. He reveals the pivotal turning point that sparked Softway's turnaround: hearing a coach describe the company's comeback as being driven by love as a business strategy.In this episode, you'll learn what love in leadership really means (and why it's neither romantic nor soft), why behaviors—not values—define culture, how to build change-ready organizations, and why sustainable culture change requires leaders to own mistakes, apologize, and seek forgiveness, not just roll out new policies or processes.This conversation is a must-listen for CEOs, founders, and leaders navigating culture change, leadership burnout, and the real work of building resilient, human-centered organizations.

Everyone sounds like an expert now because of AI, but that doesn't mean they are.
