Colten Page
Payments infrastructure CEO and operator. He does not analyze the financial system from the outside — he runs it from the inside, and the show is the same conversation he has with CFOs of $200M companies.
For people making decisions where money, systems, and risk meet
Above the Edge is for founders, CEOs, CFOs, operators, and investors navigating payments, compliance, fraud, AI, and capital allocation. It brings them the inside view from people actively building and operating the systems — not commenting from outside them.
Better decisions through greater operational clarity and financial insight.
Operator conversations
Founders, executives, investors, and technology leaders unpack the decisions, frameworks, and lessons behind how they actually operate.
What gets examined
Payment infrastructure. AI and automation. Business growth. Financial strategy and the future of enterprise operations.
What you take back
Every episode is built to help listeners protect revenue, strengthen systems, and make better decisions with capital.
I built this company on one thesis: the legacy financial system is slow, opaque, and quietly costs people money every single day.
With PLATPAY, I operate inside the systems that move money at scale. I can see exactly where the money is going — the downgrades, the chargebacks, the hidden fees that most processors will never surface because they are profiting off the confusion.
The lane I am in — operator inside the system, speaking from live data — is one very few people can speak from honestly. I am not a commentator. I am not teaching from a framework I read about. I am in the system, running the system, every day. That is what this show is.
The proof is operational.
Every conversation starts with what Colten sees and operates every day: live data, direct infrastructure, and the decisions shaping how money moves.
