Rick Wagner has been encountering spirits since he was 6 years old, growing up in Buffalo, New York. It wasn't until his near death experience on a motorcycle that he learned how these spirits can affect our lives on a daily basis. He began to study why they are here and what they are trying to tell us. After studying engineering in college, he attempted to justify all that he was seeing and feeling. Knowing that everything around us is a form of energy and that these energies do attract, he understands better the impact spirit energies have on us.
Creating a startup in any sector is a challenge. But given the level of technology, regulation, and specialist knowledge required, creating a successful business in the fintech space is even more complicated. But thanks to technology partners (and competitors that are always on the lookout for new innovations), visionaries in fintech don't need to go it alone when trying to bring their products to market, making entrepreneurialism in fintech a truly unique pursuit.On today's episode of Financial Futures, we delve into the world of entrepreneurialism in fintech to find out how startups can set themselves up for success in the fintech space. We hear from an entrepreneur about their own journey to market and learn about the challenges and opportunities in the current investment climate.Joining us today are CEO of Cashplus, Rich Wagner, and SVP of banking and payments Europe at FIS, Silvia Mensdorff-Pouilly. They reveal what makes the fintech space such a unique, lucrative and collaborative market for startups to break into, and Rich details his own journey of taking his idea to market. Plus we'll learn how technology partners can help startups to actualize their innovations.We'll also ask: What's it like being an entrepreneur in the fintech space? Why is it important to keep your competitors close when bringing new products to market? Which skills and attributes do entrepreneurs in fintech need to be successful? What are the benefits of innovating during a time of market instability? How do you spot opportunities to innovate? What are investors' priorities when making investment decisions?

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of July 12, 2021. This revised episode from April 2017 is part of a series this year of episodes related to watersheds and river basins. SOUND – ~4 sec This week, we drop in on a group of Virginia middle-school students giving citizens a vocabulary lesson on watersheds, the water cycle, and a challenging nationwide water issue. Sound unbelievable? Well, just have a listen for about 35 seconds. GUEST VOICES - ~36 sec – “Water cycle; watersheds; evaporation; transpiration; condensation; precipitation; rainfall intensity; infiltration; runoff; groundwater; surface water; impervious surface; divides; drainage areas; tributaries; river basins; the ocean. You've been listening to Christiansburg Middle School students who attended Stormwater Education Day on April 12, 2017. The vocabulary list you heard included processes of the water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle; along with geographic features of watersheds, a term that people often interchange with drainage areas, drainage basins, or river basins. Water cycle processes and watershed features are key elements in stormwater, affecting when, where, and how much of it occurs. Stormwater results when rainfall or other precipitation can't seep—or infiltrate—into the ground, particularly when the precipitation lands on pavement or other impervious surfaces. Stormwater runs off over the land surface into water bodies or into drains and pipes that eventually lead to water bodies. During that runoff, stormwater can pick up various water pollutants, and high-volume stormwater can cause flooding and erosion. Such impacts, and the laws and regulations implemented in response, have made stormwater-management a far-reaching water issue, affecting local governments, homeowners, and businesses all over Virginia and the nation. Back in Christiansburg, students learning now about the water cycle, watersheds, potential contaminants, and the filtering potential of different materials will be the future idea-generators and decision-makers who'll deal with this widespread and complicated issue. Thanks to Christiansburg Middle School students, teachers, and volunteers for lending their voices to this episode. We close with some appropriate sounds and music for stormwater. Here's some rain and thunder, followed by about 30 seconds of “Runoff,” composed for Virginia Water Radio by Torrin Hallett, a 2021 graduate of Lamont School of Music in Denver.SOUND - ~8 sec – rain and thunder MUSIC - ~ 28 sec – instrumental SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.

Thanks to Ben Cosgrove for his version of “Shenandoah” to open and close the show. In Blacksburg, I'm Alan Raflo, thanking you for listening, and wishing you health, wisdom, and good water.

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IN VIRGINIA The following information is quoted from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), “Stormwater,” online at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/water/stormwater.“DEQ is the lead agency for developing and implementing the Commonwealth's statewide program to protect water quality and quantity from stormwater runoff. Under the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP), the agency issues permits, certifies land disturbers and offers compliance assistance. “Stormwater occurs after precipitation and consists of runoff from streets, lawns, parking lots, construction sites, industrial facilities and other impervious surfaces. Stormwater may enter surface waters directly or through natural and constructed channel systems. Pollution, such as automobile oil, grease, metals, sediment, bacteria from animal waste, fertilizers and pesticides, even deposits from airborne pollutants can contaminate the runoff.“Unmanaged stormwater can cause erosion and flooding. It can also carry excess nutrients, sediment, and other contaminants into rivers and streams. Properly managed stormwater can recharge groundwater and protect land and streams from erosion, flooding, and pollutants. “DEQ regulates stormwater as a ‘point source' of pollution, which means its source can be located. This includes stormwater discharges from [the following]: Municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s);Construction activities;Industrial discharges. “MS4s are publicly owned systems, such as storm drains, pipes, ditches or swales that collect or move water to surface waters. They must obtain permit coverage and develop a stormwater-management program. “Coverage under a state permit may be required to discharge stormwater from construction activities. In addition, local governments may manage their own stormwater-management permit programs, which are separate from the state permit program and from local land-disturbance permits. “During construction, a separate permit may be required for erosion and sediment control. These land-disturbance permits are issued by localities as part of their erosion and sediment control programs, which DEQ periodically reviews. The agency offers training for both erosion control and stormwater plan reviewers and land disturbers. “Industrial discharges are covered under industrial stormwater permits and require management practices and monitoring to protect the quality of the waters receiving the stormwater discharges.“ Stormwater runoff that is not confined to a single point source is considered nonpoint source pollution, which is mainly controlled through erosion and sediment control.“Local governments are key partners in the VSMP program, administrating erosion and sediment control programs as well as some stormwater discharges.” SOURCES Used for Audio Code of Virginia, “Virginia Stormwater Management Act,” online via the Virginia Legislative Information System at https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title62.1/chapter3.1/article2.3/.

“Banking is no longer boring, it’s all about cool payments” - Rich Wagner on future banking Rich is CEO of Cashplus A dynamic CEO Rich is determined to use his 30 years’ experience in US and UK financial services to help people take control of their finances.

Rich lobbies for non-banks to gain access to traditional payments infrastructure. Cashplus Cashplus believes banking services shouldn’t get in the way of life - they should enrich it. So, although they’re not a bank, they’ve spent the past 12 years creating banking services that are fast, smart and simple. They hope these services will give High Street banks a run for their money. Cashplus’ overall mission is to ensure their business and personal customers aren’t slowed down but propelled forward by their technology.
