Moses Heredia worked in agricultural fields as a child, started in merchant services at $4.25 an hour, and eventually founded Global Processing Systems. He tells Ryan Alford how a Spanish-language sales appointment earned him nearly $800, pushed him into commission sales, and set him on the path to building his own company from a Ford F-150.
Ryan and Moses unpack the obsession with winning, fair dealmaking, and old-school customer service that helped the business endure the 2008 downturn and 14 months of pandemic disruption without layoffs. Moses explains why the CEO belongs at the bottom of the organizational chart, how long-term employees became his real measure of success, and why money reveals character instead of changing it.
This is a blunt, practical conversation about sales, entrepreneurship, payment processing, resilience, company culture, faith, and the American Dream.
