Episode 202 - Sean Conley, MTXE Consulting & Merchant Processing

Episode 202 is the 65th episode of Season 3.

Our guest for this episode is Sean Conley, CEO of MTXE Consulting & Merchant Processing. He is a longtime operator in payments, SaaS, and cannabis fintech.

Sean joins the show to break down one of the least transparent but most critical layers of the cannabis industry: payment processing. With more than a decade of experience building and scaling sales, partnerships, and customer success teams across high-risk industries, Sean explains how cannabis businesses can get setup quickly for payment processing and what it takes to build something sustainable under federal prohibition.

We talk about cashless ATM, ACH, POS systems, compliance risk, bank relationships, and why “plug-and-play” payment promises usually fall apart once volume scales. Sean also shares lessons from taking multiple startups from zero to multi-million-dollar revenue, what founders misunderstand about payments early on, and how smart operators can protect margins while staying operationally sane.

This episode is a grounded look at payment processing in cannabis.
