And we’re back! Welcome to Plumbing Around, sponsored by Temecula Winnelson and hosted by Scott Thornton.

In this episode, Scott sits down with local entrepreneur Josh Jourdan, owner of Jourdan Card Processing (merchant services/payment solutions). If you’ve ever wondered why your business pays what it pays to accept cards—or assumed you have to use your bank—this one’s for you.

Josh breaks down how payment processing really works (beyond “just swiping a card”), why relationship-first service matters, and how he helps businesses find the right system for their industry—without the runaround, quotas, or disappearing act.

What we cover:

- Credit card processing vs. ACH / e-checks (and why it matters)

- Why businesses often overpay (and don’t realize it)- “Advisor” vs. “sales rep” in merchant services

- Building a referral-based business the right way

- Moving from LA to Temecula + finding community

- Football, coaching, mindset, and handling adversity

- What Josh is building in 2026 and who he wants to work with
