David and Patricia Carlin are a powerhouse couple. Most people self proclaim this title, but there is not much substance to their achievements or their relationship. When I first met them, I knew they were not just talk, but have a deep love and respect for each other and the business they run. Who are they?
If you’re in the payments industry, you’ve likely heard of Patricia Carlin. For more than 20 years, Patricia has been on the leading edge of digital payments both in the U.S. and abroad. With a lengthy list of credentials, she is branded as one of the most influential people in payments. In fact, she was involved in the very first online merchant account in history!
Before digital payments, David’s life was summed up with one word: business. What he didn’t know what just how much residual income his sales agent was making on his monthly volume. That’s exactly how David found himself on the front lines of the digital payments industry. Garnering a wealth of knowledge through his wildly successful e-commerce business and multiple joint ventures, David’s ingenuity and integrity — coupled with his art of the deal — make him the driving force behind Residual Payments.
This episode not only sheds a light to a business model which is simple and easy to profit from, but also what it takes to have a great marriage and relationship with your spouse, even if you work with them.
