Unlocking Differentiation: How to Make Your Investment Strategy Stand Out

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin speaks with Mark Levy, a differentiation expert and founder of Levy Innovation, known for helping individuals and organizations stand out through what he calls “big sexy ideas.” Levy has worked with major companies and thought leaders, including Simon Sinek, and emphasizes the power of clarity, surprise, and storytelling in business communication.The episode centers around the critical importance of differentiation in the investment business, especially for fundraisers and marketers constantly facing competition. Levy explains that being “better” than competitors often leads to vague or forgettable comparisons, whereas being “different” creates a unique category—a “category of one”—that sets a brand apart.Levy shares techniques for uncovering differentiation, such as listing all industry assumptions and flipping them to find unconventional approaches. He illustrates this with the story of Schlitz Beer, which became a top brand after advertising its “ordinary” brewing process that, while standard in the industry, was unknown and impressive to the public. This story underscores Levy's point that what's obvious to insiders may be extraordinary to outsiders.Costin and Levy agree that every investment strategy has a story, even if the portfolio managers don't immediately see it. They discuss how identifying moments of surprise, change, or passion can reveal a firm's uniqueness. A practical tip from Costin involves asking fund managers, “What gets you out of bed in the morning?” to uncover authentic motivation and inspiration behind a strategy.Levy stresses that in fundraising, where clients must sell strategies internally, numbers alone won't stick—memorable stories will. The goal is to tell a story so compelling that someone can repeat it to others and sound insightful. Storytelling becomes essential not only in marketing materials but also in meetings, pitches, and quarterly updates. These stories should reflect how the firm thinks, why decisions are made, and how anomalies or blips lead to insights and improvements.The conversation concludes with a strong message: in a crowded, noisy, and data-heavy investment world, your differentiation is your brand. To stand out, you must communicate how you think, not just what you do, through stories that show how your approach uniquely benefits clients.Tired of chasing outdated leads? Book a demo to see how Dakota Marketplace simplifies your fundraising process with accurate, up-to-date investor data.

Understanding Disordered Eating

Understanding Disordered Eating

What does it really mean to be fully recovered from an eating disorder? For decades, the conversation has been clouded by vague definitions, conflicting philosophies, and the fear that “recovery” might not even be possible. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Carolyn Costin, a renowned therapist, author, and pioneer in the eating disorder field, to dig into what recovery actually looks like, why she believes full recovery is possible, and how to strengthen the “healthy self” rather than fight against the eating disorder voice. Carolyn Costin MA, MEd., MFT, CEDS, FAED, is a world renowned, highly sought-after eating disorder clinician, author, and international speaker. Recovered from anorexia in her twenties, as a young therapist Carolyn recognized her calling after successfully treating her first eating disorder client. Carolyn was first to publicly take the position that people with eating disorders can become fully recovered. Tweetable Quotes “When you are recovered, you will not compromise your health or betray your soul to look a certain way, wear a certain size, or reach a certain number on the scale.” - Carolyn Costin “We are not born with an eating disorder. We were born with this core healthy soul self in there.” - Carolyn Costin “Instead of getting rid of the eating disorder self, I help strengthen people's healthy self.” - Carolyn Costin “When someone has had an eating disorder, I want to be cautious for a while, but I know so many people now being in this for so long who are recovered and shit's happened in their life… and not slipped back.” - Carolyn Costin “I don't weigh myself. It's like a feminist statement.” - Carolyn Costin “We have to be careful… but my experience is people who are recovered actually navigate it better because we've already been through all that and it's like we have a bit of a shield up for it.” - Carolyn Costin Resources Visit Carolyn's website - www.CarolynCostinInstitute.com Bergen Mental Health Group Inc. is hiring!

The real estate industry has a reputation problem, and Gregg Costin knows it firsthand. As a former Air Force combat systems officer turned real estate agent, he brings a unique perspective to an industry plagued by low barriers to entry and questionable ethics. His journey from being burned by unethical agents to becoming "a realtor for people who hate realtors" reveals the systemic issues plaguing the real estate market.His military background and personal real estate investment experience give him the expertise to negotiate aggressively while educating clients on the complex financial mechanics of home buying. From saving clients over $100,000 on purchase prices to helping them navigate mortgage shopping and VA loan benefits, his approach prioritizes client education over quick commissions.This episode exposes the financial education gaps that leave homebuyers vulnerable to costly mistakes and provides practical strategies for finding ethical representation. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, this conversation will change how you approach real estate transactions and agent selection.The Low Barrier Problem: The real estate industry's minimal licensing requirements attract unqualified agents who lack essential knowledge in contract law, finance, and property evaluation. Agents should be experts in mortgages, economics, and market dynamics—not just door openers.Mortgage Education is Critical: Most buyers don't understand front-loaded interest or how their mortgage structure impacts long-term costs. If you can't explain how your mortgage works, your agent failed to educate you properly. Understanding these mechanics can save hundreds of thousands over the life of the loan.The NAR Lawsuit Impact: The recent National Association of Realtors lawsuit has created confusion about commission structures. While sellers are no longer required to offer buyer agent commissions on MLS listings, this change may actually make the process less transparent and more expensive for buyers who now face potential out-of-pocket agent fees.VA Loan Strategies for Veterans: The VA loan is described as "the biggest hack to wealth" for veterans, yet many don't understand how to use it effectively. This discussion debunks common misconceptions and explains how veterans can leverage this benefit multiple times for wealth building through real estate investment.Remote Real Estate Services: Nationwide referral services go beyond simple handoffs to actively vet agents, participate in negotiations, and provide ongoing education throughout transactions. This approach ensures clients receive quality representation regardless of location.➡️ Chapters00:00 - Opening: Frustration with Real Estate Agents05:00 - Military Background and Real Estate Journey12:00 - Getting Burned by Unethical Agents19:00 - The Importance of Mortgage Education23:00 - VA Loan Challenges and Bank Tactics27:00 - Current Market Trends and NAR Lawsuit36:00 - Commission Structure Reality Check43:00 - Vetting Questions for Potential Agents48:00 - "Realtor for People Who Hate Realtors"59:00 - Nationwide Referral and Vetting ServicesWhether you're buying or selling in Florida or need a vetted agent referral anywhere in the country, Gregg Costin provides the expertise and integrity missing from most real estate transactions.

In this episode of The Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin sits down with Jonathan Harari, Managing Director and Global Head of Investor Solutions at Crescent Capital Group. The discussion offers an in-depth look into the sales philosophy and strategic approach behind Crescent's success in institutional investment sales.Harari begins by sharing his background, from growing up in Paris to studying in the U.S. at NYU and Wharton. His career has spanned roles at PIMCO and Blackstone before he took on his current leadership position at Crescent. Throughout the conversation, Harari emphasizes his commitment to the word "sales," rather than dressing it up as business development, explaining that successful sales teams embrace the challenge of uncovering new opportunities.A key theme of the episode is the importance of focusing on "new names"—finding and building relationships with potential clients that the firm has never engaged with before. Harari shares how he instills this mindset in his team, setting up CRM alerts and tracking new contacts in real time to ensure constant outreach and pipeline growth. He and Costin discuss the fundamental role of cold outreach in sales, a strategy both believe to be the backbone of a thriving business.Harari also offers insights into team structure, sales strategy, and leadership principles. His team is divided into three core functions—client service, business development, and product management—working in tandem to provide a seamless client experience. He believes in treating regional sales leaders as CEOs of their respective territories, empowering them to take full ownership of their success. Transparency is a major pillar of his management style, ensuring that everyone on the team is aware of each other's activities and progress.Costin and Harari dive into leadership philosophies, emphasizing availability, urgency, and focus.

Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren:  On today's program, Dr. Burk Parsons of Ligonier Ministries has been suspended from pastoral duties at St. Andrew's Chapel, where he is senior pastor. He is now under investigation by the Central Florida Presbytery. We'll have details. And, Elevation Church has fired its youth pastor amid allegations of sexual misconduct from a decade ago. We'll take a look. Also, after 16 months of wrangling and civil suits, Beverly Heights Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania has officially left the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Natasha: But first, a former Liberty University employee is suing the school for discrimination and retaliation. Warren: A former professor and investigator at Liberty University has filed a federal lawsuit against the school and its leaders for discrimination and retaliation under Title IX, the Uniformed Services Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), and the Virginia Whistleblower Protection Law. Peter Brake is a Liberty graduate and an attorney who served for over 20 years as a U.S. Army Judge Advocate. He was employed in 2019 as a full-time Civil Rights Investigator in Liberty's Office of Equity and Compliance/Title IX and as an adjunct professor. While employed at Liberty, Brake took a 3½-year leave of absence starting in January 2020 to serve active duty with the U.S. Army. He had moved to reserve military duty at this point. Natasha: What happened? Warren: According to the lawsuit, Brake's absence was referred to by Liberty administrators as a “problem” because they were required to hold his position while he served in the U.S. Army. Upon his return in October 2023, Brake claims he suffered discrimination in violation of the USERRA. Brake also claims he was fired after making “good faith reports” about violations of Title IX and the Clery Act at Liberty. Natasha: In November 2023, Brake claims he told Liberty President Dondi Costin about the Title IX office ignoring grievance procedure requirements, noting that some cases had been sitting idle for a year without resolution. Warren: In an email exchange with Costin, Costin allegedly assured Brake that “your leadership understands that retaliation is not allowed around here, so don't give that possibility another thought.” After Liberty reached a settlement agreement of $14 million for Clery Act violations, Brake said he reported more violations. He was then allegedly subjected to a “humiliating and unusual interrogation” by Liberty's human resources department and other harassment. In May, Brake filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Education against Liberty and filed a Title IX complaint. Brake was fired in June.
