In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Chris Canavan, founder and general manager of Canavan Private Wealth, to unpack one of the most confusing and emotionally charged chapters in a founder's journey: life after the liquidity event.Chris brings thirty years of global institutional and private office experience to the table, but his superpower is not managing money. It is designing and running the system around a founder's wealth. After watching countless entrepreneurs exit their companies only to be overwhelmed by advisors, decisions, documents, and emotional pressure, Chris built a model that restores clarity, control, and purpose.He explains how founders lose sight of their instincts amid a fire hose of new advisors promising the world, why trust erodes so quickly after a deal closes, and how fragmented systems lead to panic, confusion, and poor decisions. Chris breaks down the architecture of a modern private office, why most founders rely on sticky notes and spreadsheets, and how his closed-loop operational model gives founders their time back.From early warning signs of wealth fragmentation, to the psychological crash founders face when purpose suddenly disappears, to his triage process for investment opportunities, Chris delivers a brutally honest guide to navigating life after the big exit.Whether you are preparing for a liquidity event or already living through the post-sale fog, this episode shows you what founders get wrong, what they must put in place, and how to build a system that supports your next chapter rather than suffocates it.Spotting the Gaps: Managing the System, Not the Money (03:38)* How advisory silos fail ultra-high net worth individuals* Why communication, not talent, is the biggest weakness in wealth management* The role of the generalist who understands every silo deeply enough to connect them* Why founders need someone three to seven feet deep across all disciplinesFinding the Right Clients and Building Trust-Based Relationships (07:06)* Why fit, values, and authenticity matter more than money* How Chris screens clients who actually want to be helped* Why some founders treat advisors like commodities and how that destroys outcomes* Building long-lasting relationships built on accountability and transparencyManaging Founder Emotions and Behaviors Post-Exit (09:00)* Founders are used to speed, scale, and instant execution* Why slowing down is the hardest adjustment* How Chris handles frustration, urgency, and emotional volatility* The importance of respect and boundaries when multiple advisors and egos collideEarly Warning Signs of Wealth Fragmentation (16:21)* When day-to-day tasks start consuming founder's mental bandwidth* The “black flies in cottage country” analogy* Why founders lose the ability to focus on what matters* The fire hose of advisors and opportunities after an exitHow Chris Evaluates Investment Opportunities for Clients (25:09)* Pain reliever vs. gain creator: the framework for evaluating pitches* Why relationships and trust matter more than projected returns* How Chris filters noise before presenting anything to a founder* The story-first, numbers-second diligence processThe Psychological Crash After a Big Exit (28:17)* Why life will never be the same after selling a company* How society begins to define founders by the name of their exit* The loneliness and loss of identity that shock new millionaires* Why every human needs a sense of purpose to avoid emotional collapseBecoming a Project Manager of Your Own Life (31:45)* Why successful entrepreneurs struggle when their team disappears* Trust-building, listening, and meeting founders where they areHow Chris transitions from advisor to integratorWhy trust cannot be demanded, only earned over timeAdvice for Founders Preparing for an Exit (36:48)* Why founders must build structure before signing final documents* The danger of early engagement with performance-focused advisors* Why founders need an unconflicted advisory boardHow to breathe, slow down, and avoid urgency-driven decisionsThe Future of Private Wealth for Canadian Founders (40:10)* Why founders will disrupt the private office industry* The coming shift from advice to execution* How operational efficiency will redefine wealth managemen* The democratization of systems once reserved for legacy familiesAbout Chris CanavanChris Canavan is the founder and General Manager of Canavan Private Wealth, a private office that provides institutional discipline and operational clarity to ultra-high-net-worth individuals. With a background at global institutions and Big Four firms, Chris specializes in helping founders navigate the complex transition after a liquidity event by managing the systems around their wealth, coordinating advisors, and helping them find renewed purpose.Connect with Chris Canavan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrislcanavan/Connect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

Dharshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid, left a decade-long engineering career at Microsoft to solve a painful database operations problem he had lived firsthand. After early missteps selling to enterprises, he shifted to helping developers manage MongoDB, Redis, and Postgres on the cloud, bootstrapping the business from scratch. ScaleGrid grew steadily through product depth, technical support, and Dharshan's mastery of SEO—becoming the top organic result for many key searches. The company expanded into multiple database engines, added a distributed engineering team, and reached 20 employees by 2021, serving both SMB developers and some enterprise teams.  Dharshan sold a majority stake to Spotlight Equity Partners during the pandemic after receiving an unsolicited offer, later stepping out of day-to-day operations while remaining on the board.  In this conversation, Dharshan shares hard-earned lessons about product-led growth, support as strategy, SEO as a long-game advantage, and how bootstrapped founders can build meaningful outcomes in massive markets.  Key Takeaways SEO Power: SEO remains a long-term growth engine for bootstrappers because big VC-backed companies rarely have the patience to compound it. Support as Strategy: Deep, responsive technical support became ScaleGrid's differentiator and directly informed product innovation and content. Start at the Edges: Enterprises won't buy from a one-person startup, but edge users with urgent problems will — and they become your early beachhead. Bootstrap Constraints: Founder over-frugality can limit growth; strategic delegation and early team building prevent burnout and plateauing. This Interview Is Perfect For Bootstrap SaaS founders Technical founders selling to developers Founders stuck in early traction or slow growth Anyone considering a PE exit or multi-year acquisition process Quote from Darshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid "You can't take random people and make them an entrepreneur. You have to want to be an entrepreneur and want to be on your own. You have to enjoy the freedom and the risk and the upside that comes with it and the unmitigated downside as well. You have to accept and be comfortable with it.  "You want to be on your own so you can try things. You are constantly looking at problems and new solutions. You want to be around people who like that sort of process: Here's a new problem and here's a new solution.  "But the most important thing you have to do as an entrepreneur is you have to add value to your customers. And most people forget that."

Udo Schloemer hat seine Projektentwicklerfirma für einen neunstelligen Betrag verkauft – und teilt in dieser Episode die ungeschönten Gesetze des Wohlstands. Nach fast 40 Jahren Unternehmertum und dem erfolgreichen Exit seiner Firma spricht Udo offen darüber, was es wirklich braucht, um die erste Million zu erreichen. Er räumt mit romantischen Vorstellungen auf: Bei ihm hat es acht Jahre gedauert – eine Mischung aus Bargeld und Assets. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis? Menschen überschätzen, was sie in einem Jahr erreichen können, und unterschätzen, was in zehn Jahren möglich ist. Udo erklärt, warum langfristiges Denken heute oft nur noch 6-12 Monate bedeutet – und warum das der größte Fehler ist, den du machen kannst. Besonders wertvoll: Seine konkrete Anleitung für den Vermögensaufbau. Udo empfiehlt, jeden Monat einen festen Betrag wegzusparen und als junger Mensch so risikoreich wie möglich zu investieren. Er erklärt, warum das Eigenheim aus finanztechnischer Sicht die dümmste Investition ist – emotional aber Gold wert sein kann. Du erfährst, warum er heute mit 18 Jahren alles über KI lernen und innerhalb von zwei bis drei Jahren eine Million-Company bauen würde. Oder alternativ: Warum der größte Reichtum im Handwerk liegt, weil Schreiner, Elektriker und Dachdecker heute jeden Preis verlangen können. Udo spricht ehrlich über seine eigenen Fehler: Die fünf Porsches, die Uhrensammlung, die Luxusautos – und warum er heute fast alles verkauft hat. Seine Definition von echtem Wohlstand? Ein Haus mit der Familie, vielleicht ein zweiter Wohnort, ein Auto das Spaß macht und genug Einkommen, um nicht über Geld nachdenken zu müssen. Für ihn liegt optimaler Wohlstand bei 5-10 Millionen – nicht mehr, weil alles darüber nur Verwaltungsaufwand bedeutet. Die wichtigste Botschaft: Definiere dein Ziel, triff eine Entscheidung und zieh sie durch. Denn wie Udo sagt: "Nichts wird wertvoller in den nächsten Jahren als persönliche Beziehungen – und die Zeit, die du heute verlierst, holst du nie wieder auf."

Zak Mir talks to Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director, TMT Investments, after the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, announced that it will today commence an on-market share buyback programme for an aggregate consideration of up to US$2,000,000. The Company's board of directors believe that the current share price trades at a significant discount to the Company's intrinsic value. The purpose of the Programme is therefore to seek to take advantage of this discount to enhance Net Asset Value (NAV) per share, reduce the Company's share capital, and return value to its shareholders. Quick snapshot: who TMT is and what they own TMT is a listed investment company focused on technology, media and telecoms ventures. Founded nearly 15 years ago, the firm has backed more than 100 companies across the US, Western Europe, the UK and Estonia. Its portfolio includes several high-growth names that have achieved large multiples on real exits, and the group reports an IRR since inception of over 14%. Key portfolio highlights include a material holding in Bolt, several profitable growth companies such as Sandbird, and other scalable businesses that are already generating cash. TMT also holds liquid, publicly traded US stock totalling around US$12 million that can be sold if needed. Despite that mix, the market capitalisation for TMT has been trading well below the value of its assets, at roughly a 60% discount to NAV. Why the buyback matters The board's stated purpose is straightforward: use the buyback to enhance NAV per share, reduce share capital, and return value to shareholders while taking advantage of the discount. Management has framed the decision as both a prudent capital allocation and a signal that they see the shares as undervalued relative to the company's intrinsic holdings. Put simply, when a listed vehicle holds large stakes in businesses that are profitable or have credible exit paths, repurchasing shares at steep discounts can be an efficient way to convert latent value into realised shareholder benefit. Conservative valuation, transaction-first approach TMT emphasises a conservative, transparent approach to valuing its portfolio. Rather than relying heavily on convenient multiples, the company values most holdings using actual transactions where possible. As of the most recent reporting, only about 15% of the portfolio value was derived from multiples. The rest is grounded in verifiable cash exits or market-based evidence. This transaction-first method matters for two reasons. First, it reduces the subjectivity that often plagues private asset valuations. Second, it gives buyers and existing shareholders more confidence that the headline NAV is meaningful and not merely an academic number. Why the London market discounts investment companies There are several forces pushing listed VC-style investment companies to trade at discounts. A few of the main contributors are: Market risk aversion. Volatility and macro uncertainty make investors prefer simple, liquid stories over diversified, private-rich portfolios. Focus on the negatives. When you hold dozens of companies, the market tends to fixate on weaker performers instead of the winners. Timing uncertainty for exits. Investors price in delays for IPOs or sales, which reduces near-term enthusiasm for NAV-based assets. Capital outflows from small caps. Structural flows away from smaller listed companies can suppress demand further. Those factors help explain why an investment company can be priced well below the sum of its parts, even when its largest holdings are sizable and verifiable. Portfolio depth and track record TMT's historical performance includes high-multiple exits and several successful growth stories. The team leverages decades of operating and investing experience to access deals, support scale-up, and realise value. For investors who cannot source and monitor multiple early-stage opportunities directly, a diversified vehicle like TMT offers scaled exposure with professional oversight. Examples mentioned by management include exits that delivered 50 times and 23 times the original investment, and a portfolio valuation that exceeds US$200 million. Those realised outcomes are a reminder that venture-style returns remain achievable, albeit uneven across companies. Why management is buying back shares now The buyback is both a practical move and a signal. Management believes the current market price significantly understates intrinsic value. Buying stock at a 60% discount can meaningfully increase NAV per remaining share, and it demonstrates the board's confidence in the portfolio's prospects. "You're paying 40p for a pound."That shorthand captures the essence of the opportunity as the board sees it: purchasing a claim on a dollar of underlying value for substantially less than its stated worth. How to evaluate this kind of opportunity When considering an investment in a listed, venture-style vehicle, the following checklist helps frame the decision: Valuation basis — Are portfolio values backed by cash exits or observable market prices, or are they largely multiples and estimates? Concentration risk — How much of the NAV is tied to a single holding and how comfortably can that position be realised? Liquidity profile — How easy would it be to monetise some holdings if capital was required? Exit pipeline and timing — Are there credible catalysts, such as planned IPOs or trade sale processes? Management track record — Does the team have a history of building companies, achieving exits and allocating capital well? Discount to NAV — Is the discount justified by legitimate risks, or does it reflect short-term market sentiment? Risk and timeframe Investing through a vehicle like TMT is not a short-term trade. Venture outcomes are irregular and often require patience, typically measured in years rather than months. Catalysts such as IPO announcements can rapidly re-rate a stock, but those events are timing-dependent. The buyback reduces share count and can accelerate per-share NAV accretion, yet it does not remove execution risk across underlying companies. Final thought TMT's share buyback is a clear, pragmatic response to a valuation gap. For investors comfortable with venture-style risk and a longer time horizon, buying into a diversified, transaction-valued portfolio at a substantial discount can be an attractive opportunity. As always, review the underlying holdings, assess the company's valuation methodology, and consider how the investment fits within your broader portfolio objectives.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 415 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the critical importance of succession planning for dentists, emphasizing that every dentist will eventually need to consider their exit strategy. They explore various pathways for transitioning out of practice, including selling outright, forming partnerships, or selling to private equity. The conversation highlights the significance of understanding practice value, the emotional aspects of selling, and common mistakes to avoid in the planning process. The hosts encourage proactive planning to maximize the value of a dental practice and ensure a smooth transition. TAKEAWAYS Succession planning is essential for all dentists. Timing is crucial in the succession planning process. The value of a practice is often tied to its goodwill and assets. Selling a practice without proper planning can lead to significant losses. Partnerships can provide a smoother transition and better value. Private equity can offer liquidity but comes with risks. Emotional states can cloud decision-making in practice transitions. Clear financial records are vital for successful transitions. Investing in practice growth can enhance future sale value. Planning for succession should start early in a dentist's career.

He also reflects on Savannah's polarizing presence, the chaotic Tribal Council, and whether he has any interest in playing again.

In this episode of Poised for Exit, we talk with Vincent Renda, a nationally recognized financial advisor with Edward Jones who specializes in helping business owners prepare for life beyond their company.Vincent explains why most owners view an exit as a financial event when, in reality, the real challenge is the transition: identity, purpose, lifestyle, and what comes next. He shares a powerful client story that illustrates how a lack of purpose can stop an exit in its tracks.We also cover the biggest value drivers and detractors, including owner dependency and hidden lifestyle expenses that create major wealth gaps. Vincent highlights why planning three to five years ahead is critical, and why forced exits often happen due to the Five Ds: death, disability, divorce, disagreement, and destruction.Finally, Vincent discusses the tools and collaborative resources Edward Jones provides to help owners build a business that's sellable, sustainable, and aligned with their long-term goals.Next Steps:Connect with Vincent on LinkedIn for a complimentary reviewConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

Alleinsein kann wunderschön sein und genau das, wonach man sich sehnt: Ungestört ein Buch lesen, in die Badewanne steigen, die Ruhe bei einem Spaziergang genießen. Einsamsein kann dagegen schrecklich sein. Viele Menschen in Deutschland haben Probleme mit Einsamkeit, permanent oder immer wieder. Trotz der ständig erreichbaren Kontakte in Social Media - oder auch gerade deshalb. Alter, Geschlecht oder soziale Herkunft spielen dabei kaum eine Rolle. Umso dringender nötig ist Unterstützung, um Wege aus der Einsamkeit zu finden. Von ihnen handelt dieser SWR Aktuell Kontext.

Wahrhaftiger Monolog. Ein junger Mann begleitet seinen todkranken Vater auf dessen letztem Weg, einem selbstbestimmten Sterben. Einfühlsames Porträt und radikales Plädoyer für die Selbstermächtigung. Ein Manifest der Freiheit. Wer das Hörspiel im Radio hören will: Samstag, 22.11.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur 2016 verstirbt Boris Nikitins Vater an ALS, einer unheilbaren Nervenkrankheit. Die Krankheit hatte kurzen Prozess gemacht: Von der Diagnose bis zum Tod dauert es knapp ein Jahr. Sehr früh äussert dabei der Vater den Gedanken an einen assistierten Suizid, einen EXIT. Eine Aussage, die alles ändert. Kann das Sterben eine Form der Selbstermächtigung sein? Das Tabu auszusprechen, hat befreiende Kraft. Nikitin verbindet die Geschichte dieses «Outings» mit der Geschichte seines eigenen Coming-Outs vor zwanzig Jahren. Leben lernen, indem man das Sterben lernt. Nicht sein müssen, um endlich sein zu können. (Zitat aus dem Hörspiel) «Versuch über das Sterben» ist eine intime Reflexion über das Überwinden von Schamgrenzen. Und ein radikales Statement zur Frage, was es bedeutet, aus der Sicherheit und Deckung herauszutreten und sich angreifbar, verwundbar zu machen. ____________________ Mit: Boris Nikitin ____________________ Tontechnik: Tom Willen – Dramaturgie: Isabel Platthaus – Regie: Boris Nikitin und Mark Ginzler ____________________ Produktion: WDR/SRF 2021 ____________________ Dauer: 48'

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept the spotlight buzzing over the past week with a flurry of public appearances in New York City alongside Hailey Bieber. The pair were seen together at a Lakers versus Knicks game in Madison Square Garden and were later photographed sharing an intimate dinner at The Corner Store before enjoying a date night at the IPIC movie theater. According to Us Weekly and People, Justin appears “happier than he's been in a long time,” prioritizing comfort and authenticity in public, even if it means leaving the spa shirtless and unfazed by public scrutiny. Despite skipping the 2025 Grammy Awards for the second year in a row, sources emphasize that Justin and Hailey's marriage remains solid, with strong mutual support and a focus on maintaining their privacy amid relentless public attention.Professionally, the most significant news is Justin's exit from his previous fashion venture, Drew House. He made headlines by announcing on Instagram that he is no longer associated with the brand, stating, “Drew House does not reflect me, my family, or my life.” While the Instagram story was quickly deleted, speculation arose about his reasons. However, GQ and India Today confirm Justin has since turned his creative ambitions toward a new fashion label called SKYLRK. Launched in July, SKYLRK is a collaborative project with Hailey actively participating in streetwear design and creative direction. She describes the process as “super fun and collaborative,” and Justin reportedly maintains full creative control, working closely with Pink Dolphin co-founder Neima Khaila. The couple have hinted at inspiration drawn from their family life, including their now 15-month-old son, Jack Blues, who remains largely out of the spotlight as they continue to balance public careers with parental privacy.Business headlines have reignited debate over Justin's financial situation, particularly after the explosive May 2025 TMZ special and reports in People that he sold his entire song catalog for $200 million to Hipgnosis. The documentary alleges the sale was prompted by looming financial collapse—claims that Justin's representatives declined to comment on. Further, his musical royalties have now become part of tokenized IP assets on platforms like Aria Protocol, integrating his catalog into crypto-financial markets, a move widely viewed as innovative but also symbolic of larger shifts in artist revenue streams.Standing amid ongoing health rumors, various outlets like IMDb and Celebrating The Soaps have cast a spotlight on his frail appearance at recent events, prompting concern among fans and speculation about his well-being. Friends and Hailey reportedly remain very supportive, while sources underscore that Justin is prioritizing self-care, creative fulfillment, and time with family. On social media, both Biebers continue to uplift one another, with Justin expressing immense pride over Hailey's recent success: her skincare brand Rhode was acquired for $1 billion by e.l.f. Beauty—a landmark deal Hailey says Justin “witnessed from the very beginning.”In sports news, the couple's joint appearance cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays during the World Series reignited his Canadian pride and further showcased their united public front. In sum, while questions linger about Justin's health and finances, his focus appears squarely on creative ventures, marriage, and fatherhood, with major moves in both fashion and music IP setting the stage for an evolving public narrative.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1950

How to 4X your Revenue in 4 Years with Alexis Sikorsky   Most business owners dream about growth, but few know how to scale without chaos. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani talks with Alexis Sikorsky, a strategic advisor who helps founders scale fast and exit strong. Alexis doesn't speak from theory—he built and sold his own Switzerland-based software company, New Access, in a $100M+ private equity deal.   He learned firsthand what it takes to go from exhaustion to exponential growth—and how the right strategy, mindset, and systems can help you 4X your revenue in just four years.   Key Lessons from the Conversation:  Buy, Don't Just Build: Most founders try to grow by grinding harder. Alexis shows why M&A can be a faster, smarter route when done strategically—with the right due diligence and cultural alignment. Don't Confuse Urgent with Important: Entrepreneurs often get stuck fighting fires instead of building vision. The CEO's real job is direction and value creation—not firefighting. Know What You Don't Know: Private equity buyers make money because they see what founders can't. Your blind spots could be worth millions, so get help from people who've done it before. Fire Yourself from the Day-to-Day: If your business can't run without you, it's not scalable—or sellable. Alexis teaches founders to identify the tasks only they can do and delegate the rest. Build a War Chest: Business cycles are inevitable. You need 9–12 months of cash reserves to weather storms and seize opportunities instead of scrambling to survive.   Key Takeaway: What you don't know about your business could be costing you millions. Clarity, cash reserves, and courage to think bigger are what separate sustainable success from burnout.   About Alexis Sikorsky: Alexis Sikorsky is a strategic advisor to founders who are serious about scaling fast and exiting strong. With a nine-figure private equity exit under his belt, Alexis isn't speaking from theory—he's lived the entrepreneurial highs and lows across decades of company building, boardroom negotiation, and international leadership. His flagship book Cashing Out lays out the APEX methodology, a four-part framework (Assess, Plan, Execute, Exit) that demystifies the journey to private equity for founders feeling stuck or overwhelmed by growth and decision fatigue.   Alexis founded, scaled, and sold New Access, a Switzerland-based software company, ultimately closing a $100M+ exit and transitioning into a new chapter as a Special Advisor to ambitious CEOs. Today, through Sikorsky Consulting and KnightScale Partners, he works with growth-stage businesses, typically doing $5M+ in annual revenue, who want to engineer their next chapter or PE exit.   Links: Website: https://www.asikorsky.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-sikorsky-consulting/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexissikorsky/   Conclusion: Growth without strategy is just motion. As Alexis shared, success comes when you think like an investor—anticipate risk, build systems, and plan your exit long before you need it.   So, how many seven-figure mistakes are you willing to make? Even six-figure owners can make million-dollar errors without financial clarity. That's why Profit Answer Man exists—to help you keep more of what you earn and build a business that truly serves your life.   #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessGrowth #PrivateEquity #ScaleYourBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #MergersAndAcquisitions #CashFlow #ProfitFirst #FinancialFreedom #BusinessStrategy #Leadership   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

BT & Sal dive into the shocking report from Jeff Passan that the Mets are "blowing up plenty" of their roster, potentially making Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga available for trade. The fiery discussion focuses heavily on Pete Alonso's future, as an industry source suggests the Mets' maximum offer is a "disrespectful" 2+1 deal at around $30 million per year. Sal argues that while Alonso deserves more than the recently signed Naylor, the Mets must resist paying $30M/year over six seasons. They debate whether Steve Cohen will override GM David Stearns to keep the fan favorite. The show also touches on potential additions like Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker and starts with a quick rant about the Giants' lack of accountability after Abdul Carter's discipline issues and the team's ongoing "sloppiness."

Welcome to The Capital Raiser Show — the podcast where elite founders, operators, and investors reveal the exact strategies they used to raise millions (and sometimes hundreds of millions) in private capital. In this episode, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Michael, a serial entrepreneur who scaled three different companies to seven-, eight-, and nine-figure exits — including a $104M exit in just 3.5 years. Michael breaks down: How he spotted a regulatory gap and executed faster than anyone else Why emotional intelligence, not pedigree, determines entrepreneurial success What he calls the PHD advantage: Poor, Hungry, Driven The hidden downside of fast wealth creation (and how he overcame it) How he raised millions after burning through his own first $500K The moment Family Office Club training flipped the trajectory of his capital raising Why AI will create the largest wealth transfer in human history How to spot operators who will generate repeat wins — not one-time luck The rise of the "silver tsunami" and the trillion-dollar baby-boomer business sell-off Practical AI applications he's using today across sales, operations, and revenue recovery Why he believes the next decade will split society into two wealth classes Richard and Michael also explore how speed, courage, and strategic relationships create asymmetric outcomes — and why entrepreneurs who embrace AI now will dominate their industries. This is one of the most actionable conversations ever recorded on the show for capital raisers, operators, and investors hungry to scale faster.

When Ron Blue joins us, it's always a masterclass in biblical wisdom. He's co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, a best-selling author, and a trusted mentor to many. Ron has spent decades helping believers apply God's principles to every area of life and business.Today, Ron unpacks what Scripture teaches about partnerships and how faith should shape the way we enter, manage, and exit them.The Broader Meaning of “Partnership”When the Apostle Paul warned believers about being “unequally yoked,” he wasn't speaking only about marriage. As Ron explains, “Paul was talking about partnerships—and there are so many kinds.”From professional firms and small businesses to investment ventures and partnerships, they can take many forms. And while they can be incredibly fruitful, they also carry spiritual and relational risks.Ron pointed out that partnerships often last a long time—sometimes decades. “The CPA firm I founded has been operating as a partnership for 50 years,” he said. “But not all partnerships endure well. Like marriage, many end in conflict.”Principle #1: Protect Your TestimonyRon's first principle is about spiritual integrity. “You have to ask what the partnership will do to your testimony,” he said. “If you're unequally yoked with someone whose values fundamentally differ from yours, you could lose your witness in the process.”He recalled being asked whether a Christian OB-GYN should enter a business partnership with a doctor who supports abortion. “Only you and God can answer that,” he said, “but it's a big question. Your witness is always at stake.”Principle #2: Plan Your Exit Before You Begin“Have your exit strategy in place before you form the partnership,” Ron advises.Just as couples prepare for challenges in marriage, business partners should anticipate potential separation. A clear exit plan protects both parties, ensures fairness, and helps maintain peace when the time comes to move on.“When you have that in place,” Ron said, “you avoid a lot of conflict and preserve your testimony if you're the believer who's leaving.”Principle #3: Preserve the Mission Beyond the RelationshipPerhaps the most powerful insight Ron shared was this: the mission must outlive the partnership.Ron recalled his own experience leading a financial planning firm. “After 23 years, I left—but no one left with me,” he said. “They were committed to the mission. That's what you want to see happen.”A strong exit strategy and shared vision help ensure that the work—and the witness—continue long after any individual departs.The Bottom LineShared faith isn't just good for business—it's essential for a lasting witness. Partnerships grounded in biblical principles reflect God's wisdom and preserve peace amid challenges.As Ron put it, “The most critical thing you want to preserve is your testimony. Everything else flows from that.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm concerned about vendors and service providers who want my bank account information for automatic withdrawals. I've been paying my lawn service with money orders, but now they require my account number. I told them we'd have to stop doing business because I'm not comfortable giving out that information. Isn't this kind of intrusive? What do you think about vendors wanting access to our accounts?My spouse and I are both 70 and ready to retire. I own 10 rental houses, but managing them has become too much. Once I sell the properties, what should I do with the proceeds? I understand the basics about capital gains and selling real estate, but I don't want the responsibility of managing individual stock investments myself.I've saved about $15,000 for a car, but have kept my current vehicle running as long as possible. It's a 2007 with 235,000 miles and is starting to have more issues. I found a good used car for about $8,500 and am wondering if I should buy it now or keep driving my current one until it dies, even though repairs may be on the horizon.My parents' health is declining, and we're moving them closer to family. Their current home is in an irrevocable trust, but we've found a condo they can buy before selling that house. Can the new condo be added to the same irrevocable trust? And when the old home sells, what happens to the proceeds?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.
