Azzalino discusses the challenges of terminal-based payments – a stopgap measure that cannot replace the ease of online credit transactions. This hurdle considerably impacts sales and customer satisfaction, and according to Azzalino, every six months, the company faces a "crisis" due to payment processing issues, showing a dire need for an industry-wide solution. Azzalino's journey from a Deloitte accountant to the leader of a cannabis tech company underscores the shifting tides in career pathways created by emerging industries.
