Merchant service provider Soar Payments has officially launched “Paypod: The Payments Podcast.” The show will center on all things payments, and feature interviews with experts in digital payments software, fintech, security, mobile development, eCommerce and beyond.

The host of “Paypod,” Scott Hawksworth, is a tech entrepreneur based in Chicago, IL. After founding a number of businesses that required credit card payment processing solutions, he became interested in the larger payments industry and innovations in payment technology. An avid follower of the crypto payments revolution, Scott is particularly interested in the future of payments and fintech in the digital age

“I'm hoping that listeners, whether they be entrepreneurs and small business owners, or just those interested in business and fintech will come away each episode having learned something new about the payments industry,” Hawksworth says. “My mission is to help business people gain a greater understanding of how it all works, while also exploring companies that provide top notch payments services and solutions. If they can then take this knowledge and make better, more informed business decisions, then that's a win!”
