In today’s episode, Suneera talks about balancing having a family and being the CEO of two companies. She highlights how you don't have to choose between family or business, you can have it all despite outside opinions. She walks us through how she got her company, Stax, from startup to eight figures in revenue while simultaneously launching CEO School, a community of women upleveling and investing in themselves. Suneera prides her success on prioritization and productivity explaining how she had to learn how to say no to the things that weren’t allowing her to achieve her goals. 

Memorable Moments: 

• 5:32 As women, we're constantly having to choose our identity and we don't have to choose our identity, and I was falling into the same trap that most women we fall into, which is the “this is what I'm supposed to do” mentality.
• 8:02 It's not about anyone else's level of success or definition it's yours. So sit down, write down. What does it all look like for me? And then go do that
• 11:53 Give yourself grace and be willing to fail and learn, but you have to be willing to show up. So you have to take the first, the first step and that's how growth happens. It happens when you're uncomfortable.So get comfortable getting uncomfortable.
• 14:33 Wherever you are, and this may not be applicable to your business or in your life today, but there are experts who can help you get to your goals faster.
• 15:55 Success is not just defined by the number in your bank account.

Suneera Madhani, the Founder and CEO of Stax (formerly Fattmerchant) is our special guest on this the 101st episode of the Leaders in Payments Podcast. She is the second guest in the Women Leaders in Payments month sponsored by American Express. 

Suneera was raised by immigrant parents who were also entrepreneurs. Much of her personal and professional inspiration comes from her parents. She attended the University of Florida and after a short stint at a consumer-packaged goods company she started her career in payments. 

In 2014 she founded FattMerchant with her brother. They have recently rebranded to Stax and raised over $100 million. They process payments for over 25,000 merchants and are based on Orlando, Florida. 

Suneera has some great advice for women in payments including being bold, taking a risk, & being authentic and your true self.
