From Police Academy Reject to Building a Credit Card Processing Business ft. Mark Masa

🚨 From Police Academy Reject to Building a Credit Card Processing Business! 💳

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, you’ll hear the powerful story of Mark Masa, a man who turned rejection into redirection. After being told he wasn’t a “good fit” by the police academy, Mark didn’t give up—he doubled down on faith, discipline, and grit. He eventually became a full-time law enforcement officer while preaching and serving his community.

But after years of working 70+ hour weeks and feeling “house broke,” Mark knew something had to change. That’s when he discovered the world of credit card processing—and everything shifted. Today, Mark (@pinoy.payments) helps small business owners save thousands on fees while building his own passive income portfolio through Cash Swipe.

🎙️ In this episode, we dive into:

• How Mark bounced back after academy rejection

• The spiritual and leadership lessons he gained from preaching at 15

• What burnout in law enforcement really looks like

• How he started his credit card processing business from scratch

• His vision for mentoring others and serving business owners across the U.S.

Mark’s story is a blueprint for anyone stuck in a system that doesn’t value them—and a reminder that your next level often comes after your biggest "no."
