We also have someone else coming. This guy is a legend. He, uh,
he's been around our, our,
our videos for a handful of times and he's always looking sharp with the nice
suit. I love it. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So I know you must
Have made for De Bank today a broker.
Listen, I was gonna ask you. I was like, well, what's the inspiration? It it,
it reminds me, it gives me royal wedding vibes. Royal,
Oh, coming off the weekend where the king was just coronated and everything in
England. Royal wedding vibes,
just a little luxury bringing old school, you know,
double breasted back a little bit. That's right,
Dude, I saw, I was like, yes. I was like, I love the double breasted a little,
You know. Um, but in here, but in there missing a little different take on it.
Yeah, yeah. Trying to modernize it a little bit and just like, uh,
what we're trying to do, revolutionize this suit,
revolutionize this industry with what I'm trying to do as well. And, uh,
that's the, the, that's the inspiration.
So I know you, but for those that don't know you,
go ahead and introduce yourself and what company you're with.
Pole Boxer with Merchant Marketplace, the newest,
I would say not newest,
but at least a year or so old direct funder and platform for syndication in on
deals as well. All
Right. Paul,
we've talked about this in the past and we've done different videos.
The industry's changing rapidly. Just, you know, I,
I feel like every couple months there's something new going on. You know, it,
it's, it's not what it used to be.
So why and how is it is the importance of coming into a place like
this to learn and to keep up with this industry because it's drastically
changing.
Education is key. Regulation, regulation,
regulation that's coming down the pipeline, whether we like it or not.
Different states enacting different regulations. We have to learn about it.
We have to be on top of it. We have to understand from California to New York,
to Virginia to other states,
in between other states that are within their legal process now in their state
legislature and senate,
working on different legislations geared and pointed towards us and our
industry. We have to understand to be on,
on top and above everything and everybody to learn what the regulation is.
How can we bring that into our business,
take what is coming down and to actually, um,
do what's needed to be up to par with all the regulation that is
out there. And for me, coming to brokers Fair, sitting in on the sessions,
learning what that is and what's coming down the pipeline for us to stay at the
forefront and to be the best funder that we could be.
So let me ask you this.
There's a lot of different topics that are gonna be discussed today. You know,
things from like funding your arsenal to E R T C,
to like debunking the myths of this industry.
Which one are you looking forward to the most?
So I must say debunking the myths of the industry is very,
very interesting and I can't wait for that one, but my partner, um,
Adam Schwartz is a speaker today and talking about investing within, um,
our platform and within the merchant cash advanced industry.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing my partner up on the stage,
being one of the panelists on that panel.
And that's where I will definitely be the entire time. And look,
definitely looking forward for Adam speaking and hearing what all the panels
have to say about investing within our, uh, industry.
So there's a lot of people that are new here.
We've seen a lot of new faces and there's people that are watching this that
they want to, you know, dive into the industry, but you know,
it's just changing drastically.
So what advice would you have to those people that are new,
that are trying to maneuver this industry and they're just trying to get, get,
get started?
So first of all, I tell every broker out there, follow de banked, go online,
look at the articles that are coming out every day or every other day. Very,
very informative. Come to Broker Fair, whether it's in Miami, New York City, uh,
San Diego is coming back, which I can't wait. One of the west coast.
One of my favorite ones is on the West Coast San Diego.
Meeting people I would not normally see on the East Coast.
Learn who the funders are, get a relationship with the funders,
meet and greet them face to face, shake their hand, hear what they have to say,
walk the floor, meet other brokers.
Talk about how you guys are getting your lead sources,
how you guys are funding what you're thinking of certain funders.
It also helps us to tighten our screws and to better service you and your deals
as well. Really, it's all about networking. It's all about education.
It's all about being in person and seeing what the newest and latest is within
our industry. And of course, meeting amazing people here at Broker Fair.
Awesome.
