Today’s guest is a dear friend of mine and an AMAZING human full of wisdom and life experience…

His name is Eric Douay.

Eric is the founder of Fair Merchant Solutions, a credit card processing company that has processed over a BILLION dollars in transactions.

While that sounds impressive and all, the thing I love most about Eric is how much he values his relationships and plays the LONG game with every relationship he has.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How, despite the fact that Eric has invested $600,000+ into attending masterminds, some of the wisest advice he ever received was from someone born in 1902…
- How you can make your competition IRRELEVANT by building transformational relationships with your clients
- How to avoid getting royally screwed over by credit card companies (This is a BIG one that can save you a TON of headache!)

If you’re someone who loves playing the “long game” in your relationships, loves investing in yourself, and wants to learn how to protect your business from a crippling risk that destroys entrepreneurs every year… this episode is for you!
