You're Born Into the World Naked with Nothing. You Leave the same way. Ft. Jimmy Estrada #86

Welcome back to Revenue from Retention. Today I'm joined by someone who has reinvented himself more than once, and in the process, built a mission-driven business that's changing how small business owners think about money. Our guest is Jimmy Estrada — payments educator, business mentor, and co-founder of JELA Payments. Jimmy's passion is helping entrepreneurs navigate complex financial systems so they can make empowered, educated decisions about how they handle money. His journey is anything but ordinary. From working in Los Angeles music studios, to healthcare operations where he saw firsthand how confusing and costly payment systems hurt both providers and patients, to entrepreneurship, mentoring youth, and now transforming overlooked industries through smarter payment processing — Jimmy's story is about clarity, service, and second chances. He's spoken on stages at business events, churches, and community gatherings, always with the same mission: lead with integrity, educate before selling, and serve with purpose. What I love about Jimmy is that he doesn't believe business has to be cutthroat. For him, it's about being heart-centered, honest, and still massively effective.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Multi-industry expertise — Transitioned from LA music studios to healthcare operations before founding JELA Payments, bringing diverse experience to payment processing Mission-driven approach — Focuses on educating small business owners about financial systems to help them make empowered decisions about money management Education-first philosophy — Believes in "educate before selling" and leads with integrity rather than aggressive sales tactics Heart-centered business model — Proves that businesses can be both compassionate and highly effective without being cutthroat Community impact focus — Speaks at business events, churches, and community gatherings to serve underserved entrepreneurs and transform overlooked industries     ⭐️CONNECT WITH JIMMY ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️   ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @jimi_estrada |  @jelapayments ▶︎ LINKEDIN: JIMMY ESTRADA ▶︎ EMAIL: [email protected] ▶︎ WEBSITE: www.JELAPayments.com    CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA  ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!
