They Said Credit Card Fees Were Inevitable... Then We Found This Loophole w/ Ilyssa Grant & Dave Lava (Ep 48)

Dave Lava and Ilyssa Grant have quietly helped business owners save millions by rethinking how payment processing ‘should’ work. With backgrounds in business, tech, and entrepreneurship, they saw the flaws in the traditional system and decided to build something better. Today, they work with companies across the country to help them take back control of their revenue.

Today, Dave and Ilyssa joined me to talk about what most people get wrong about credit card fees and why accepting them as “just part of doing business” could be a huge mistake. We dive into how they’ve helped businesses cut costs without cutting corners, and the small shifts that you can make in how you accept payments that can easily lead to massive savings over time.

 

They also share the journey that brought them into this space, including the early resistance they faced and the breakthroughs that changed everything. Their story is one of persistence, innovation, and a refusal to follow the crowd. What they’ve built now not only helps businesses save money, it makes the entire process simpler and more transparent.

We explore the future of technology and digital payments might look like and how they can affect your business. Dave and Ilyssa also expose to you a behind-the-scenes look at where digital payments are going, and what you can do as a smart business owner to stay ahead.

 

Join us today if you’ve ever wondered why you're paying so much just to get paid or how to break free from the system that keeps taking a cut.
