7/2/202645 min

Welcome back to The Level Up Podcast. In this episode, we sit down with Stefanie Power, a top producer in the payment processing industry and the newest partner leading the CashSwipe expansion into Canada. Stefanie shares her raw journey from bartending to building a portfolio generating $50,000 a month in residual income. We dive deep into the mindset required to overcome self-doubt, the reality of hitting true financial freedom, and the power of authentic, human-to-human interactions when scaling a business through word-of-mouth. Whether you are looking to close your first merchant account or trying to scale a massive sales network, Stefanie lays out the exact blueprint to level up your life and get out of your own way. We also touch on our highly anticipated live event, "From 9-5 to Residual Income," happening September 17, 2026, where Stefanie will be taking the stage as a keynote speaker alongside Andy Elliott.
