Top 10 Payments on Fire® Episodes
We are saying a fond farewell to 2022 as we wrap up recording the last Payments on Fire® episodes of the year that will be released throughout January. Looking forward to 2023, we realized that we are approaching Episode 200 – raising the question of what should be featured for this milestone? A lot has happened in payments in the past eight years since that first episode during which George Peabody, Scott Loftesness, and Terence Spies discussed “Bitcoin and other math-based currencies”.
For some 200th Episode inspiration, we took a look at the all-time top downloaded episodes since Payments on Fire launched in 2014. The list has a bit of a zeitgeist feel to it – a peek into what has been “top of mind” for payments professionals. So which episodes currently hold the gold, silver, and bronze for most downloaded?
Episode 186 – Data Security and Privacy with Michael Borgia, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP
We’ve talked a lot recently about how important it is to stay up to speed on regulations. In this episode of Payments on Fire, George Peabody and Chris Uriarte are joined by Michael Borgia, Partner at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, to discuss data security and privacy and the steps regulators are taking in this space.
Episode 185 – Fanning the Flames: Glenbrook Education Program
Glenbrook has provided payments education for over 15 years. In that time, over 35,000 payments professionals have attended Glenbrook workshops, including the popular Payments Boot Camp®. The Payments Boot Camp® provides a thorough overview of the global payments industry - an industry that is constantly changing. As you can imagine, the material for our workshops changes with it.
Episode 184 – Talking ACH with Michael Herd, Nacha
We talk about ACH a lot at Glenbrook (even coining the phrase “ACH is Hot”) and there’s a reason for that. More than 29 billion ACH Network payments were made in 2021, valued at close to $73 trillion. While ACH technology has been around for decades, modernization has made this system virtually unrecognizable from what existed in the 1970’s, and it continues to evolve.
