    About Scott:
    I am an expert in the development of private label Fintech platforms for the modern automotive dealership and petroleum marketer.

    I use over 20 years of private label fleet and loyalty payments in conjunction with a coalition of modern financial technology platforms to help retailers not just accept payments, but own them, via the development of a private label payment and reward network the helps drive customer loyalty, engagement, retention, and top line revenue.

    With my help your operation can tap into a powerful revenue stream by monetizing your customers payments with our proprietary set of GasApp.io API’s from fuel to services and goods to BNPL and other automotive related expenses.

    I believe the future of the automotive dealer and fuel merchants run parallel with a need for a challenger solution that future-proofs your business model by turning your customers into a digitally connected fleet of brand ambassadors.

    From private label mobile wallets to debit cards to financial tools, your customers will be rewarded for making everyday auto related payments with your help. Real dollar rewards that keep your brand top of mind.

    Mr. Accountability - Dave Anderson

     

     
    Dave "Mr. Accountability" Anderson is a leading international speaker and author on personal and corporate performance improvement. After an extensive career in the automotive retail business Dave, along with his wife Rhonda, began LearnToLead - entering its third decade - with the goal to help individuals and organizations reach their personal and corporate potential.
     
    The author of 15 books, most recently Intentional Mindset: Developing Mental Toughness and a Killer Instinct (available wherever books are sold), and host of the wildly popular podcast, "The Game Changer Life," Dave's no-nonsense messages impact readers and listeners in over 145 countries. Dave has spoken in twenty countries and presents 100+ times annually to a wide array of businesses, athletic teams, and nonprofits.
     
    His immediately applicable messages, energized and dynamic presentation style, and unmatched content positively focuses, equips, and inspires teams to do better – and the principles he shares resonate with audiences from a wide array of industries. 
     
    His direct, often-humorous, and somewhat politically incorrect approach has earned him the nickname, “Mr. Accountability.” Dave’s “in-the-trenches” background of starting and running world class businesses, coupled with his relatable non-academic approach creates unmatched connection that resonates with his audiences and moves them to action.
     
    Dave and Rhonda are also co-founders of Matthew 25:35 Foundation, which helps feed, clothe and house under-resourced people worldwide. In his personal time Dave enjoys the martial arts and holds a second degree black belt in karate.
