Leaders In Payments

My guest this week has been in the payments industry for 20 years and credits the lifespan of his prolific career to a small decision that was motivated by an empty gas tank. It all started in the basement of a dental office, at a startup ISO space with no windows, and an inclination that maybe this wasn't such a good idea. But he needed enough gas to get to where he was going next, so he decided to give it a chance and the rest is history. TRNXN Company CEO Paul Hadfield has made it his charge to modernize payments for his clients and provide them with a “project design” that optimizes their potential and maximizes their revenue. According to him, “the point-of-sale is really the central nervous system of any business. It can manage and connect every single moving part of your company.” For those of you who may not know, TRNXN is a modern transaction company that designs, implements, and supports custom payment solutions for the retail and restaurant verticals. It is Paul's belief that in order to build successful ISOs and profitable payments companies today, you have to leverage technology and service. With this intention in mind, TRNXN Company “helps ISOs modernize their business by helping them modernize their client's business.”What's their business model? According to Paul, they're not just payment providers but rather small business consultants. “Anything that has to do with a financial transaction, we are involving ourselves with and trying to make that process easier or less expensive for the business – or more expensive but with a strategy that drives more sales.”Tune in this week to hear Paul talk about TRNXN Company – A business with “no exit plan” that he intends to run for the rest of his life and represents “a combination of everything he has learned in the industry coming to a head.” We also talk about what payments looks like for the retail and hospitality industry over the next 2 to 3 years, including everything from a spike in QR code implementation, to the astronomical margins on the current delivery model, and how long it will take crypto to make it into the restaurant space. Don't miss it!

Episode 6 Show Notes Beer of the Week Jan 11-17, 2012: Spinnaker’s ‘Lions Head’ Cascadia Dark Ale Close your eyes for a moment and put yourself in the following position. It’s 1888 and you have been stationed in Bombay (Mumbai) India for the last 6 months. It’s 40C with the humidity of about 96% so it really feels like 48C. You have been standing in the direct Indian sun for over 2 hours and you are in your regimental dress uniform. The sweat is trickling down the back of your neck and your only thought turns to that cold brew in the mess that has just arrived from Jolly Old England. Your mind quickly retreats to the last beer shipment and you cringe as it had gone foul. 4 hours later you are pleasantly surprised that the beer is cold, it is tasty and fresh but there is something different about it. There is a definite bitterness to it for some serious hopping. What is this? This is your first taste of a new brew called October Beer from the Bow Brewery. That beer is what we today call IPA or India Pale Ale. The brew of the week does not have nearly as dramatic a start, but it is a harbinger of what will surely be a new breed or category of brews. This weeks Brew of the Week is a Cascadia Dark Ale that has evolved from Northwest India Pale Ale. The catalyst for this style is the unique flavour that hops grown in the Pacific Northwest have and how well the citrus grapefruit tone pair with dark malts. The body is heavier than traditional IPA but lighter than Porters and Stouts. The second thing you will notice is the carbonation. Designed to be served colder, there is greater carbonation. This weeks Brew of the Week is the Spinnaker’s ‘Lions Head’ Cascadia Dark Ale which gets its name from a pub located in Robson BC which just so happens to be run by Spinnaker’s proprietor Paul Hadfield’s, daughter Carly. The brew is richly textured with bright citrus tones that float on a body of roasted, smokey, chocolately malt flavours. The finish is clean which makes this an easy brew to pair with a number of dishes... I like that. I’m really tired of brews or wines that are only good for sipping on their own... that is not my world...my world is about a quality of life that is always better when shared with others over a meal and great glass of beer or wine. This beer is only available in the 650ml bottle format, which you just looks better on the table vs a 6 pack of cans or bottles. PRICE $5.99 +deposit PAIR WITH big beef burgers, pork tenderloin with a cumin rub, meat lovers pizza, rich, strong cheeses. OCCASIONS this is a great brew for Pizza Night, Family Movie Night, Casual Get Togethers, Simple Dinner parties and evenings. AVAILABILITY Only available in the 650ml bottle in Private Liquor Stores  and by the pint at Spinnaker’s Gasto Pub in Vic West. TASTE this brew at all 5 Liquor Plus locations on Saturday Jan. 14, 2012 from 3-5pm Liquor Plus Radio is hosted and Produced by Rod Phillips with technical assistance from Steve Jobs (RIP) via GarageBand, Mike & Cheryl DeWolfe and Mike Vardy.
