What would your life look like if you truly embraced every change that came your way and surrounded yourself with the right people to help you through it? In this episode, our host Kevin Thompson talks with Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, drummer of the legendary band Hootie & the Blowfish. Jim shares how he went from chasing dreams on the soccer field to becoming part of one of the top-selling rock bands of all time. As the songwriter behind hits like “Hold My Hand”, Jim helped launch Hootie & the Blowfish into worldwide fame with their debut album Cracked Rear View, which became the 9th best-selling album in U.S. history. Jim opens up about his personal battles with alcohol addiction and how he found hope, healing, and a new purpose through faith and recovery. Today, as he gears up to release his fourth EP Remember Tomorrow and his memoir Swimming With The Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride, Jim reflects on the relationships that carried him through it all—his family, his bandmates, mentors, and community. This conversation is a real look at humility, growth, and why trying to do it all alone is never the answer.   [00:01 - 07:00] The Power of Being Connected • Jim and Kevin connected through their friend Jeremiah. • Trusting mutual relationships can open doors you never expect. • Jim shares why slowing down and being grateful changes everything.

[21:01 - 32:00] Joining Hootie & the Blowfish • Jim found his way into Hootie & the Blowfish in college. • They hustled like entrepreneurs, touring with little money but big dreams. • Everything changed after David Letterman heard “Hold My Hand.” [32:01 - 39:00] The Struggles Behind the Fame • Sudden fame brought tours and millions of albums sold. • But Jim wasn't prepared and leaned harder on alcohol to cope. • Eventually, he realized he needed help and couldn't keep hiding. [39:01 - 51:00] Finding Recovery and Giving Back • A 12-step program and honest friends helped him heal. • Jim learned to let go of what he couldn't control in life and music. • Now at 60, he tours again with deep gratitude for a second chance. [51:01 - 56:00] What's Next for Jim • Jim loves speaking, sharing stories of music, mistakes, and redemption. • He hopes his journey inspires others to face their own struggles. • His biggest lesson: don't do life alone—the right people change everything.   Follow the links below to check out Jim Soni Sonefeld's memoir and music: Swimming With The Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a RideJim's Music Connect with Jim: FacebookWebsite Key Quotes: “Whatever you're doing, don't try and do it alone.” — Jim Sonefeld “If we have anything in common, it's that we'll make mistakes and that's not the end, that's the beginning.” — Jim Sonefeld Thanks for tuning in!

Real Estate Investing With Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority

In real estate investing, raising private money is often seen as a numbers game, but at its core, it's really about relationships. This is precisely the message Jay Conner and his guest, Kevin Thompson, share in their enlightening conversation on the "Raising Private Money" podcast. Kevin, an entrepreneur with a proven track record of facilitating hundreds of strategic partnerships, brings knowledge about the true power of relationship capital.The Power of Relationship CapitalBusiness success, especially in fields reliant on collaboration and investment, doesn't exist in a vacuum. Kevin Thompson's journey highlights how critical relationships are—not just transactional contacts, but meaningful, mutually beneficial connections. Over the years, Kevin has helped fellow entrepreneurs generate millions in revenue, not by relentless self-promotion, but through thoughtful introduction, collaboration, and service.A central idea in Kevin's approach is treating relationships with genuine care. Relationships aren't merely a means to an end; they are the end in themselves. The entrepreneurs who grow their businesses consistently are those who invest time and authentic energy in nurturing their network. Whether it's private lenders in real estate or partners in other industries, the principle remains the same: showing up with a servant's heart creates a ripple effect that supports long-term growth.Defining and Creating Strategic PartnershipsMany business owners misunderstand the essence of strategic partnerships. It's not simply finding someone to promote your offerings for a cut of the revenue. Kevin emphasizes that a successful partnership is two people coming together to achieve more collectively than they ever could individually. The most fruitful collaborations begin not with, ‘What can you do for me?' but with, ‘How can I help you serve your clients better?'This shift in mindset is transformative. It allows both parties to explore their unique skills and resources and see how they can uplift each other. The real value isn't just sales or dollars but the experience and trust that's built along the way. Kevin's network is a testament to this philosophy—he's facilitated over 400 strategic partnerships by focusing not on what he can gain, but on how he can help others grow.Being the ConnectorKevin has become known as "The Connector," not simply for the sheer volume of relationships he's built, but for the quality and impact of those connections. His approach is proactive and intentional. Rather than wait for opportunities to come to him, Kevin reaches out to those who inspire him, often from something as small as a thoughtful social media post. He compliments, appreciates, and asks probing questions—curious to learn what excites the other person and how he might contribute to their success.Even when facilitating introductions between others, Kevin's focus is on alignment of values, interests, and intention. True partnerships are only possible when there's a natural fit, and Kevin's intuition allows him to discern these opportunities effectively.Leading with Service—The Secret to ReciprocityOne of the most powerful lessons from Kevin's story is the approach of giving without expectation. Giving appreciation, attention, and help without any strings attached creates an environment where reciprocity happens naturally. Sometimes the benefits return directly from the person you help, other times from an unexpected source. This is the essence of the "law of reciprocity"—what goes around, comes around, often amplified.Implementing Relationship-Building in Your BusinessFor those wanting to implement these principles, the process begins with genuine curiosity. Start new conversations by asking sincerely what the other person is passionate about or currently working on. Listen with intent, not with an agenda. Look for way
