I have Frank Ebates from Spartan Capital,
so let me shift over and make some room on the red carpet for you, sir. Hi,
how are you? Hi. How's it going today? Very
Good.
Good. So tell me a little bit about the importance of events like this.
Oh my God, it's hard to put it in words.
It's such an amazing event for this industry, right? For MCA and, uh,
revenue sales financing because it brings us all together. Mm-hmm. Right? I,
I love to come here and see all our partners, our technology providers. Mm-hmm.
Our ISOs, our brokers, our referral sources. So, uh,
I really enjoy coming here and seeing them and talking to them. Mm-hmm. Uh,
we spend so much time, uh, on the phone or talking to them through email and,
uh,
this event brings us all together and gives us the opportunity to get to know
each other even more. So we could find ways to, uh, just,
just work better together.
Exactly.
And I also think that location is very important to New York City's Screams
Broker Fair and a perfect time.
What's a better perfect time to have it then in the spring where the weather is
getting warm?
We're not in that third winter that everybody is always looking forward to.
Well, not looking forward to, but always expecting in New York.
What do you say about the location of having New York, um,
broker Fair in New York? I
Love it. I love it. I mean, it's so, so cool to be able to do this in May, uh,
in New York. Right. So this is sort of like the birthplace for mca. Right,
exactly. So it brings everyone together in one spot, one location.
Weather is great. I mean, Sean, the bank, they just get it.
You guys just get it.
And now this is my second broker. Fair.
Can What broker fair number is this for you?
Oh my God, I can count 'em. I've done 'em all.
I think I've been doing each one of them since, uh, 2019.
Wow. So can you tell me a little bit, uh, how it has, um,
transpired through the first time you've been to a broker Fair Event to now?
I could tell you that Spartan Capital wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the
broker fair. If it wasn't for the banked, if it wasn't for the ability, uh,
of the banked and, uh, broker fair to bring us all together.
We have grown tremendously. We've been able to meet new partners,
we've been able to hire new people. We've been able to acquire, uh,
new technology providers.
And it's all because we come to these events and we get to know who's out there,
who wants to do business with us, who wants to sell us, uh, equipment,
who wants to sell us technology. So it's amazing. I love it.
And if there's one thing you can tell viewers at home that may be a little bit
weary about coming to Broker Fair and not sure if this is the right place for
them in the industry, what could you tell 'em about it?
I would tell 'em that there is something for everyone.
If you're here to mingle and talk to your partners, you could do that.
If you want to learn about industry events, industry news, uh,
just developments,
you could come and go to the shows and listen to the speakers, right, which, uh,
have tremendous amount knowledge. Right.
And if you just want to just learn about new products,
you could do that as well. So there's so much to get out of this event. Uh, it,
it's silly enough to come and attend
Exact. Okay.
I don't wanna keep you too much from mingling throughout the rest of the event,
but all your points are super valid and I hope you make a ton of connections
today and learn, uh, a ton of new insight at the panels going on. Good
Seeing you.
Good seeing you as well.
