Attorney Jane Dueker joins Marc & Kim to dismantle the lawsuit filed by St. Louis Board of Aldermen President Megan Green, which aims to block Missouri's state control of the SLMPD. Dueker calls the case a political stunt designed to delay and distract—highlighting how Green's First Amendment argument is legally baseless. The lawsuit claims city officials can't be restricted from interfering with the police board, and that mandated police funding violates the constitution. But as Dueker explains, voters already approved a constitutional amendment that clearly allows for exactly this kind of state-directed police funding. Green's real motive? Avoid spending more money on law enforcement—despite being caught on camera with a defund-the-police sign. Jane also discusses the change in city leadership, cautiously optimistic that the new mayor may finally focus on basic services and restoring order to a crumbling downtown.

Attorney Jane Dueker joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to expose Megan Green's lawsuit against Missouri's state control of SLMPD as legally hollow and politically motivated, calling out Green's anti-police agenda. Fox & Friends First's Todd Piro skewers the left's obsession with identity politics, mocking space launches for their virtue-signaling over substance. On 2A Tuesday, Luis Valdes of Gun Owners of America slams red flag laws and the ATF's unconstitutional overreach while demanding better mental health solutions. And in Kim on a Whim, Marc and Kim spar over whether Easter Monday deserves federal holiday status—complete with sack races, cash-filled eggs, and a few jabs at teacher “planning days.”

Elliot Davis joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to expose an alleged attempt by Board of Aldermen President Megan Green to bar him from City Hall's chamber after a critical story he ran. Davis breaks down how an alderman tipped him off, how Green's office responded after his viral Facebook Live, and what new media rules might be coming for citizen journalists. Marc and Elliot also discuss the progressive politics of new mayor Cara Spencer, whether she'll differ from Tishaura Jones, and ongoing concerns over crime and public safety in St. Louis.

In this segment, Mark is joined by Elliott Davis, a retired FOX 2 Investigative Reporter that recently retired after 45 years of chasing politicians. He breaks down his latest battle with Megan Green and also shares his thoughts on a new Cara Spencer administration.

He is then joined by Scott Warmann, a Cardinals and Blues Studio Host for FanDuel Sports Network. They discuss the Blues big game tonight where they can clinch a playoff berth as well as the Cardinals recent solid play. He wraps up the show with the Audio Cut of the Day.

Jane joins Marc to talk about what a new era of politics in St. Louis City could look going forward with Tishaura (or Virvus) Jones in control, why this could mean the end for Megan Green, and why this all gets to improving the downtown and therefore the city, and region, as a whole.

The insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund manager community continues to deal with trapped collateral from previous catastrophe years, but the opportunity cost has grown, we learned in our latest Artemis Live video interview.  Our latest Artemis Live video interview is with Megan Green, a Partner in the PwC Bermuda Asset Management Assurance Group.  Green's work is focused on providing assurance services to clients in the asset management industry including insurance linked securities providers and she joined us to discuss insurance-linked securities (ILS) asset management activity in Bermuda today.  Green highlighted trapped collateral as a continuing issue for ILS fund managers and one that now comes with an increasing opportunity cost.  She explained that alongside investor appetite and capital raising, trapped collateral remains the other hot-topic for ILS managers.  "That's been an issue for a few years now, but we are seeing collateral get released, which is great," Green said.  But continued, "I think in this market, with rates being as strong as they are, it almost shows that the opportunity cost of that trapped collateral is greater. "So it's probably getting an even greater focus, because obviously investors and ILS managers would love that to be deployed."  While trapped, this collateral and capital cannot be recycled to be put to work in fresh reinsurance arrangements, which in the hard market environment would come with significantly higher-yields than the arrangements that now see collateral still trapped.  Green went on to say that, "It'll be interesting to see what happens in that space. You know, you obviously have your commutations that are going on. But, there's chatter about whether standard commutation clauses are put in contracts, if that solves the problem. So I'll be interested to see what happens."  Listen to the full podcast episode for more insights from PwC Bermuda's Megan Green.

"It has been a lifestyle for me.  I have been a leader and advocate for marginalized groups and people of color throughout my whole career.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Villanova University and a Master's in Communication Management from the University of Southern California.  With my unique background working in the aerospace industry for seven years, facilitating dialogue around race and difference, designing corporate training, managing scholarship programs and becoming a hairstylist as a child to sustain myself,  I am now equipped to marry my creative and corporate world via a lifestyle brand, MVG Naturals and the newly launched Crownworkshop. I started making products as a child and in 2013 developed an avocado based product business that I began building in 2016. I have learned a lot as an entrepreneur and now I want to make more of an impact through a social enterprise. As a stylist, I've always focused on equipping my clients with knowledge and tools to ensure that they themselves were self-sustainable and not dependent on her services to feel confident. I also learned that this work is critical for young girls to flourish and thrive.

And you've got to have a smile on your face because nobody wants to deal with a dick. You've got to humble yourself because a lot of the times for you to build relationships, you have to get through a gatekeeper. And sometimes the gatekeeper is the toughest person to get through to get to the person that you want to really impress, or you want to do business with. I watched my father go into offices for five or six years and would walk in, sometimes with a meeting scheduled, sometimes without a meeting scheduled and would say, “I'm here to talk to the office manager. I want to do your office supplies”. And they'd be like, “Raleigh, we already told you we're using staples and we don't want to use you. We're totally happy”. And he's like, “if anything comes up, just let me know. I'll come back next week”. And they were like, “no, no, no, don't come back next week,” and he never took no for an answer. And that was something that he really taught me early on is you can't take no, there is no such thing as no when you're selling yourself or selling a product – if you have the desire to talk to somebody or to meet somebody, then you have to become very creative in the way that you get to that person.And a lot of times it was just persistence and not giving in to the word ‘no'.Michael Moore: Welcome to The Climb Crossroads and Defining Moments. Today, we're joined by Raleigh Green, [00:02:00] founder and managing member of Emerald Consulting. Happy to have you here today.Raleigh Green: Happy to be here. Thank you. Michael Moore: So, before we dive in in – because I've just got a lot of questions and Bob does too, with what we do for a living and our backgrounds, what you do we find incredibly interesting. Just tell us a little about you; where are you from, where you've been, where you're headed? Raleigh Green: Yeah, so born and raised here in Fort Worth, Texas. Bob Wierema: Great. I'm outnumbered again by design.Raleigh Green: Born and raised here in Fort Worth. Went to Arlington Heights High School, went to the University of Texas on a track scholarship and came back to Fort Worth after four years of fun down at Texas, and actually finished my degree at TCU and then got married early on and thought I was mature and had the world by the balls and was ready to go conquer everything that was in front of me and after about 10 years, realized quickly that you don't have anything figured out and you're not mature and you better start figuring it out pretty quick. So, lived here in Fort Worth with my wife at the time, and ended up, unfortunately, getting a divorce. I have a beautiful boy from that marriage – he'll be nine in February. I moved after my divorce to Dallas and lived in Dallas for seven years. During that process, I put myself through business school and SMU and decided that it was time for a major change in every aspect of my life. And I met my current wife, my beautiful [00:04:00] bride as of July this year, in Dallas and moved her back to Fort Worth, which was a shocker for her, but she's a trooper and she's getting to love the community and love our neighborhood. We're both entrepreneurs by trade; she just launched a business herself in March of 2020, she actually launched it two weeks before COVID hit and was in the process of starting her fundraising campaign, which was a very rough ride. And I had started Emerald Consulting a few years back, but really started picking things back up full-time with it. I would say in early 2018. So that's kind of where we are today. Michael Moore: On the theme of your wife – because Bob, Chris Powers, who we've had on the podcast and introduced us to Johnny, she was actually on his podcast. So, you sat in this room before – tell us a little bit more about the business and what she's got going on, because it's really neat. Raleigh Green: So, her name is Meagan. Megan Green. And she started a company called The Dowery. It's an online platform that connects local artisans from all over the country to grooms and brides that she created a wedding registry for.So, she was also in a previous marriage and during her experience of registering for things, she found that things were very limited on what she could register for, and everybody went to the same big box retailers. And so, everyone for that year's home looked the same. They all had the same Pottery Barn or the same Bed, Bath, and Beyond or whatever it was. And she found [00:06:00] a hole in the market and said, “man, there's a ton of local artisans all over the country in the United States that only sell through their local retailers. And that's really their only channel. And these people aren't good businesspeople. They're artists by nature, and so, they don't have the skillsets to push their products out onto some platform, a different platform than their local retailer”. So, she started doing a lot of research and we worked on her business plan for months on end. And we decided that now is the best time to dive in and try to tackle this 10,000-pound gorilla that's out there, and the business has been great. You can find her on www.dowery.com and it is not only a wedding registry gift site, but it's also just a standard platform that you can buy anything on. So yeah, it's been a rough year for fundraising for her business and for my business. But I feel like we finished the year pretty strong and she was actually able to raise a little over a quarter of a million dollars from friends and family, and we'll continue to raise capital this coming year. Bob Wierema: Well, I will definitely be sending this over to my fiancé here. We're hopefully getting married here in May.Raleigh Green: There we go, congratulations. Bob Wierema: Yeah, we were supposed to get married last May and had the push and if she sticks around for another five months, this two-and-a-half-year engagement, we're going to get this deal done. I'll send it to her for sure. It's funny you say like that because I've talked to her and she's like, “yeah, well there's only like Crate and Barrel and West Elm and all the other ones” and whatever's kind of in style then is what everybody else [00:08:00] has. So that's exciting. I'll definitely send that over to her. That's great. Raleigh Green: It's a really cool concept and most guys aren't into it. We usually don't care what our wives pick and choose for what pottery we're using, or what ceramics are going in our house, and being a part of this company and an investor in Meagan and The Dowery, I've gotten to really dive into the details of each artist. She is very particular on what artists she allows to be on the site, because she doesn't want it to be a [inaudible] website by any means. She really wants it to be very clean and have really high-end products that are gonna look good in people's homes.Bob Wierema: Maybe you can start blog on the side for guys like me to read as you're going through this. Because like I tried the, “hey, I don't care what plate we get, if you like them,” well apparently that's not a good answer. I'm like, “can we eat off of it? Then that's good by me”. Michael Moore: Does it go in the dishwasher? Raleigh Green: As long as I can throw it in the dishwasher, I'm happy. Michael Moore: So, I got married over 17 years ago and I remember the same thing. Like, “you're going to come with me to XYZ store and we're going to register,” and I'm like, “sweetie, I love you. But just go do it. I don't care,” but she's like, “you're coming”. “Yes ma'am”. So, I think the sales lady can see my enthusiasm, and she gives me this gun that you go click on everything and it's supposed to be exciting for the guy. Well, I went bezerk with this thing. I think I registered for every single thing they had in the store, miraculously, the next time she went to a store, I wasn't invited. So, there you go.  [00:10:00] Bob Wierema: Michael, I wanted to ask him one more question. Going back a little bit, because Raleigh you'd mentioned – and first of all, Michael, we got to get his wife on podcasts – so that'll be a good takeaway. Raleigh, you mentioned going to school at SMU, and then you said, “hey, it's time for me to make a major change”. Some shift there. Is there something specifically that, in the light of this podcast, defining moments, The Climb, is there something there that spoke to you and said, “I just need to make this change?”What got you to that point?Raleigh Green: Great question. So, if you back up to right out of college, I went to work for a hedge fund in Dallas. Originally started off as the runner, grabbing mail and getting coffee and getting laundry for different portfolio managers, and the CEO was a good family friend of ours.I earned my stripes and put in the time and told him that early on that I wanted to be on the trading desk, and after about six months of running errands, I got promoted to junior trader and was on the energy portfolio team. It was a lot of fun. It was a fun experience. It was fast paced. I got a nice salary. Our bonuses were amazing, and business was booming at that time. Then in 2008, I got laid off with a bunch of other traders at our firm, along with the rest of the financial community so it seemed at the time. Luckily my father owned his own business here in Fort Worth, Texas called [00:12:00] Greenwood Office Outfitters, which was a local office supply company, I think about it like Dunder Mifflin. It was the Dunder Mifflin of Fort Worth. Had a great experience there, came in as a sales associate for my father, really got to learn the family business inside-out from him and started climbing that family business ladder and earning the respect of the employees that have been there 20 to 25 years. I grew my book of business, eventually became Vice President of sales and was hoping that one day the reigns would be turned over to me to run the company and grow the company as I saw fit. However, my dad had a business partner that was a 50% owner in the business and my father actually went through a divorce himself, and my mom owned 25% of the business, and my dad owned 25% of the business. And as we all know, divorces are extremely expensive. And so, the dreams of taking over some of the shares of that company started dwindling away and it wasn't for, I would say a couple of different mentors that I had, that had kept pushing the idea of going to business school and getting back into finance somehow.So, a couple years after my dad's divorce, I actually went through a divorce, as I had said previously and picked up and moved all my stuff to Dallas and  wanted a fresh start, looked at a bunch of different business schools in Texas, and went back to the hedge fund manager, that was a major mentor of mine [00:14:00] and asked him, “ should I go here or should I go here?” And he said, “do you plan on doing business in Texas?” And I said, “yes”. And he said, “do you plan on doing business in Dallas, Fort Worth?” And I said, “yes”. And he goes, “well, then there's no other option. You're gonna have to go to SMU”. The alumni network is huge. And it's very accommodating to everyone that graduates from the college business.I went that route and while I was in business school, I was studying corporate finance and my focus was on energy, and I thought that I was going to come out of the MBA program raising capital from a private equity group, and starting my own EMP company with a couple of other business school mates. But God had an obviously different plan and during that process He opened a couple of doors that I never thought would open. Didn't even think about these doors opening. An old family friend of mine in Fort Worth, who's in his mid-fifties and is buying a distressed molecular testing healthcare company in Memphis, Tennessee, and we started talking on a weekly basis about the opportunity at hand. And he said that he was going to pursue the acquisition. And I told him that I wanted to be a part of the  process and a part of the company. And so, during my second year of business school, I started working in the healthcare industry and started a distribution company that was distributing molecular tests for his [00:16:00] company, and got to a point where him and his partners decided, “hey, you and your team are really doing a lot of business, you're creating a lot of new revenue streams, and we'd like to actually have you on board”. So, I came on as Director of hospital development and started pouring my life into this healthcare company that we grew from six employees all the way to around 80 at the time. It's not that today, but it was a fun ride.During that process, I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about perseverance. I've learned a lot about integrity and doing business with people that have integrity and the importance of that. A lot of life lessons; I can tell you the last probably 15 years of my life has been a climb. You always say you take three steps forward and two steps back, and as long as you get that extra step in, you're moving in the right direction. Business school was unbelievable for me. I never really enjoyed school as a child. It was one of those things that every year you would go to go into a class, and it was the same classes: history, English, math… and you were learning new things, but it wasn't something that I wanted to learn and early on in my life, I had an entrepreneurial spirit starting at 10 years old with two of my buddies, Collins and Walton Ward in our [00:18:00] local neighborhood. We, like any children in a neighborhood during the summertime, would get bored and we would get into mischief and we would come up with different things to create.And one of the things that we created, like every other child in America does, is a lemonade stand. But I came up with the idea of where we should put the lemonade stand, and you always hear location, location, location. Well, we started putting our lemonade stand in between the first Island and the second Island of River Crest Country Club golf course. And so, the golfers had to drive by our lemonade stand and we were at a two-way stop there. So, we had cars stopping and we had a golf carts stopping, and we knew that most of the men carried large bills and we didn't come prepared with change. So, most of the time they go, “oh, just keep the $20,” or, “oh, [inaudible] keep the hundred.So, we would walk out of there with a hundred, 150 bucks a day and we moved it around, it was great. My mom would pile up all of our tables, and our chairs, and everything into her Ford Explorer and drive us there every day and drop us off. And then we got to a point where we were actually on one of the members' pieces of property and we would hide our chairs and our table behind their bushes. Michael Moore: Bob, a couple of years ago when I really started doing a lot of research and thinking through how we bring what we do for the private equity world to the family office world, I began the rabbit holes of networking and figuring that out and called up an old friend I hadn't talked to in a while – another guy [00:20:00] we probably need to get on the podcast, Ryan Center – and he's in the consultative world with Riveron. And so, he understands our model and the way we go about thinking and asking questions and ultimately creating value.And he said, “well, do you know Raleigh Green?” And I was like, “man, that name sure sounds familiar”. And I went on LinkedIn, I'm looking at it right now. I think it's an all-time record. We have 392 mutual connections but didn't know each other. I'm like, “how is that possible?” And so, we initially got on the phone and started having lunch and so many commonalities. I'm really excited to dive into what you've created, but in looking on here, it's Raleigh Green the Fifth; I want to talk more about that family dynamic and the ultimate sale of Greenwood [inaudible], finish that part of the story. Because it's pretty fascinating.Raleigh Green: So, the Greenwood story ended in 2017.I had already started to part ways and had already started my healthcare distribution company and was kind of doing both jobs at the same time. I told my dad, “ I got to go pursue this. You're in the process of selling your business and with the new owners coming in place, they're not going to want me around” and, without having ownership, it just wasn't something that I really had passion for anymore.And so, my dad who taught me everything – he taught me everything about life, about being a good man, about respect, always trying to do the right thing because we only have one name, and your name is everything. And [00:22:00] if you hit different nicks on your name, they stay with you forever. And any of you guys from Fort Worth understand that Fort Worth is a very, very small community, and they love to talk about things that happened 25 years ago or whatever. And I grew up in this community and ran with a fun, wild group of guys, and we didn't do anything bad, we just had a lot of fun and we got into mischief and our parents were all working their tails off – and I would say weren't always around to give the discipline that we needed.And so, Fort Worth. It is the greatest small town in America, but even my wife knows today, you can't sneeze in Fort Worth without somebody knowing it. So, my dad early on in my life said, “look, you guys can keep going down this road or you can change your ways right now”. And he knew that running was an outlet for me.He was a big runner; ran at TCU in the 70s and was a big-time marathoner all through the 80s. And he really helped channel my energy to focus on running, and he poured his life into helping me be the best I could. And I was one of the top runners in the state. I was one of the top runners in the nation in cross-country and high school. I got a scholarship to University of Texas and all of those things I owe to my dad, because that was the hard work that he put in on top of the hard work of building a business and doing the daily grind with two other siblings that I [00:24:00] had, and a wife, and everything else. So, to rewind just a little bit back to  being at Greenwood and Hen(?) teaching me about sales, it always started with cultivating relationships. You want to treat each and every client like you treated the girl that you wanted to date, and it was a slow process, and you don't want to just rush into something and tell them everything that they want to hear upfront. You want to slowly build up a rapport with them.If anybody listening to this podcast knows my dad, they know that he did a great job hitting the streets every day of Dallas Fort Worth, building his business through building relationships. Greenwood never used any marketing tool, which when I came into the business, I was like, “we've got to start with billboards, and we got to get a website. We've got to get a Facebook page, we got to get all this stuff,” and they were all like, “whoa, what is this kid doing? And pump the brakes.” It was a fun ride working with my dad, and we were a great team. My dad built an amazing company with Bob Wood. Unfortunately, today that company is not what it used to be. Luckily for Bob and my dad, they got out at the right time. But I learned a lot of life lessons there, and after the sale of his business, I've tried to take those lessons with me into the healthcare world and then into my daily practice with everyone that I meet; relationships are my favorite thing.I would say for me, creating new relationships is [00:26:00] my favorite thing to do on this earth. I love adventure and I love meeting new people and I love connecting with people. And that's really what has given me the success that I've had today with Emerald and creating what I've created through the relationships that I've built. You brought up family offices; family offices are some of the toughest groups to get into, and they don't advertise, and they don't have Google pages. And if they do, it's very rare and it's still going to be very tough for you to get a meeting with the right groups and the right people that are making the decisions at those family offices.And luckily, I was able to – through the office supply world, and also through the hedge fund that I worked for – establish good relationships with people that like all of us have climbed the ladder and have gone on to do different things. And some of them have created so much wealth for themselves that they've been blessed to be able to start family offices and I've gotten to be along for the ride of that and to see people grow their businesses and also be a part of just continuing the friendship that we had when they didn't have those things. Michael Moore: Thank you, Mike, for sharing. Bob Wierema: First of all, thank you for sharing that. I love what you talked about with your dad. I'm very similar to you and we can talk about that more at a later date, but the impact he had on my life, it's similar, sounds like you had. One of the things I was going to ask [00:28:00] is about how you talk about cultivating these relationships and how you do that. Maybe expand upon how you just think about that world and maybe some advice for some of our younger listeners. Everybody hears that relationships are important, and how do you start that when you're coming into the business world? Where you're making a career change and before it wasn't as important, and now you're like, “hey, I got to cultivate these relationships”. How would you think to tell people, “here's how I started and did that to get these fantastic relationships” that are really, it sounds like, the lifeblood of your business? Raleigh Green: That's a great question. I would go back to, if I was telling anybody, you got to start with yourself, you got to start with being real and being honest, and you have to be happy. And you've got to have a smile on your face because nobody wants to deal with a dick. You've got to humble yourself because a lot of the times, for you to build relationships, you have to get through a gatekeeper. And sometimes the gatekeeper is the toughest person to get through, to get to the person that you want to really impress, or you want to do business with.I watched my father go into offices for five or six years and he would walk in sometimes with a meeting scheduled, sometimes without a meeting scheduled and would say, “I'm here to talk to the office manager. I want to do your office supplies”. And they'd be like, “Raleigh. We already told you. We're using Staples and we don't want to use you. We're totally happy”. And he's like, “ if anything comes up, just let me know. I'll come back next week”. And they were like, “no, no, no, don't [00:30:00] come back next week”. But he never took no for an answer. And that was something that he really taught me early on is you can't take no, there is no such thing as no when you're selling yourself or selling a product or trying, if you have the desire to talk to somebody or to meet somebody, then you have to become very creative in the way that you get to that person. And a lot of times it's just persistence and not giving into the word “no”. So many people today, especially this next generation – it's scary because they love doing everything online. They love Zoom. They love the whole COVID situation of, “hey, we're going to work from our office and our sweatpants and our t-shirts,” and sure. That's great. We love all that too, but we also miss – or I can say for me, I miss the personal one-on-one interaction, the face to face, having meetings in these family offices, having meetings with my mentors, having meetings with individual investors. The face-to-face through a screen doesn't do the justice that being in person and being able to sit in somebody's office looking around and going, “man, these guys created this. This is awesome”. You don't have the same respect for that person. One thing that I've had to teach myself over the last, I would say four or five years is to really respect what these people have created and how hard they have worked, and how their teams have worked to be able to get them into a place where they are now calling the shots and they can tell you, “no, I'm not interested in [00:32:00] that deal, and this is why”, or “hey, we're going to review that deal, but we'll get back to you”. And you have to have respect for the time that they are going to take to review that deal. Because a lot of the times when I'm dealing with clients of mine who are raising capital and I'm outsourcing investors, the clients are on a different timeline than the investors.They want their capital commitments very quickly. And sometimes the best investors take their time, and they slow play you for a reason, and they want to see who else comes to the table before they come to the table. And for me, I have to respect that window of time that they need, but I also in the process have to be careful with how I do follow up calls, how I approach follow up emails, et cetera.It's an art that I believe you learn through trial and error. Bob Wierema: I've learned as you talk, you can't always want it to be on your timeline, but you gotta remember at the end of the day, it's not about you, it's about your client or your prospective client. You got to make it about them or whoever that person is, whether it's someone in your network, if you're focused on you, that just you might have a couple of wins here and there, but that's not a good long-term play. Michael Moore: We've got a saying in our office that it's all about timing and priorities and neither one of them are yours. Raleigh Green: That's a great saying. Michael Moore: I appreciated the comments with your dad. I remember when I was graduating from college and my dad said, “okay, now what are you going to do?” And I said, “I don't have a clue, but if I can find something where I get to meet new people all the time and create relationships with them, I think I'll be pretty happy”. [00:34:00] And so I think we share that, I think that's probably me, even though we've gone to lunch once and met over the phone a couple of times and some Zoom calls because of COVID, I feel like I've known you for a long time. I think we both share that passion. So, focusing in on Emerald Consulting, because I do want to talk about that.Talk about that platform and how it works. Raleigh Green: So, it started off helping out a buddy of mine who created a hedge fund right out of business school. And he was a roommate of mine in Dallas for a couple of years and one of my best friends on the planet to this day. He's one of those – he's a genius.He went to MIT for undergrad, did investment banking. Right out of undergrad, went to Stanford Business School, learned his trade from one of the best quantitative hedge fund managers in the world and had that entrepreneurial spirit to go start something. And he identified very quickly that he needed help with raising capital. And he was like, “Raleigh, I haven't been in Texas for 14 years, a long time” and I had a bunch of relationships. And so, we sat down, and we started hammering out little spreadsheets of who we were going to call and, Emerald really started there. And we had some success and that was early on, that was before business school.So, I was actually just working as an independent consultant that didn't have Emerald as the company name. And that was back in late 2012 and fast forward to where I was with the healthcare company in Fort Worth. A friend of mine called me and said, “hey, a [00:36:00] very well-known oil and gas company is looking to raise $150 million and they're looking for family office money, and I've talked to them and they said that they would happily pay a success fee”. So, I met with a couple of the guys from the company and within three weeks I actually had $165 million committed from two different family offices, one in Dallas and one in Fort Worth.And it was one of those aha moments for me, because one of my mentors, who I play tennis with all the time – I remember telling Matt Johnson that I didn't really know what I wanted to do after I left the healthcare business and he said, “man, you should continue to raise capital”. And he goes, “you do a great job”.He was like, “you know everybody, you gotta be confident in your ability to continue to go down that path. And I think you've really got something here”. So, I followed his advice as I usually do, and it's been great, I've now to date raised a little over $247 million. I've gotten to work with companies in the commercial real estate industry. I've gotten to sit down with the CEO of Thor Equities, who is now a very good friend of Meagan and mine, and have helped participate in a couple of his commercial real estate acquisitions and have also had a lot of fun in the energy space being here in Fort Worth, raising different funds for different projects that these guys were working on.And I would say to date, [00:38:00] we really focus on healthcare, energy, and real estate. And I can say real estate now because we've had success with two different closings and I'm now in the process of getting my real estate license, which is a total beat down. And I never knew that there was this much information involved in getting a real estate license.So, kudos to all you guys that have your real estate license and keep it up. Michael Moore: I got my real estate license in my sophomore year in college because summer rolled around and my parents said, “well, what classes have you signed up for?” I was like, “ what do you mean? I'm not going to summer school. You take the summers off”. “No, you don't”. And they said, “you're doing something”. And I said,” well, my mom was a residential real estate person and I stopped working out. How hard could that be?” And I think it took me three times to pass the test. It was tough. It was absolutely tough.Raleigh Green: It's a lot tougher than we than what I expected. That's for sure. Bob Wierema: One of the things I was gonna maybe go down Raleigh was that as you get potential opportunities in, how do you think about those deals? Because obviously your reputation is a little bit at risk. You gotta be able to bring good thoughtful opportunities to your investor. You don't just want to throw a bunch of stuff at them that mates make and hope it sticks. How do you think through that and how do you evaluate some of those opportunities on your end before you bring it to those folks?Raleigh Green: That's great question. My reputation in this business is everything, Emerald Consulting is not a licensed broker dealer, and we don't want to be, what we are is a registered finder.We've got two jobs. In my left hand, I have to go source deals [00:40:00] that I think are legitimate, and I have to do a lot of analysis and background checks on who these entrepreneurs are, who the companies are, and to see if it's a good fit for the investor pool that I have the relationships with. And then, in my right hand, I have to go make sure that I'm not sending a real estate deal to a family office that only invests in energy and healthcare. That process is a lot of fun and it's a lot of work and the best part about our job is the investors that we bring these deals to our astute investors  and they understand that I am not providing advice on any of the deals that I bring to them and they don't want me to give them any advice. They either have teams that are going to evaluate it, or they're going to evaluate it themselves. And they are confident that they have the background and have had extra historic success in analyzing each one of these deals that comes across their table. And these guys look at hundreds of deals sometimes a month, I'm one of hundreds of different groups that send deals to these family offices and individual investors.What I try to do is really cherry pick the best possible, not always the best possible return or the best possible idea, but the best possible management team. And I learned that from a couple of [00:42:00] astute investors that I really have a lot of respect for, and I've sat in meetings with them and they said, “we don't invest in ideas. There are a million good ideas. What we do is we invest in the management team and we want to make sure that they have what it takes to get this company to the next level”. Some family offices look at pre-revenue companies from a venture standpoint, some don't, some told me, “don't even bring those deals our way”. And I would say, “my team and I are very particular in making sure that our database is up to date with each family office and each investor, what their risk tolerance is and what avenues of investment they're looking for so that we're not bringing them the wrong stuff”. Michael Moore: If you go back to that word ‘reputation.'Bob and I take that very seriously too. There are a lot of peers and competitors in our space calling on the same potential clients that we are, and then once you bring them over as a client, your role is still very much involved, but we also have teams that then interact the day to day financing and management of risk.So, all of a sudden, you're relying on what they're saying to carry on that reputation and make sure that that's not damaged. So, I think if you think back to the maturation of everything you've talked about today on this podcast and getting to where you are today, I got to think that when you're sending potential deals to these family offices, they don't need you to explain it because your reputation is that this is something we need to look at. Raleigh Green: A hundred percent. Most of the time they know that if I'm not just sending them every deal that comes across our desk, that we are very particular in [00:44:00] what we send them and that they are going to want to look at it. Even if it's something that is way outside of their realm, as far as what they invest in, if it is something that we don't have in our database, a lot of times they'll still look at it. Right now, if you take solar and wind energy, those are like the two hottest things that are flying across every family office desk right now, and there's so many opportunities that a lot of times the family offices have to hit pause and they have to say, “wait a minute, what do we actually know about wind? What do we know about solar and which deal is the best deal?” One of my investors who I love to death, he's here in Fort Worth and has been just another amazing mentor of mine, he told me a couple of weeks ago, “Raleigh, I've seen 10 solar deals. And I don't know what's a good solar deal and what's not, and I've got plenty of experience investing in energy. So we're hitting the pause button and it's pencils down, but we're going to take our time to do some research and really figure this out before we pull the trigger on anything”. It's interesting,  if you read today in the Wall Street Journal and online, if you Google ‘family offices' and look at news, family offices over the last five, six years have been the latest, greatest thing because individuals that have created wealth for themselves now understand that they don't need to pay all these fees to money managers.They don't need to pay the fees to private equity companies. They don't need to pay the fees to hedge funds. They don't [00:46:00] need to pay fees at all. What they need to do is, and if they're wealthy enough, they can go hire their own teams that specialize in all of that and create it themselves. And you walk into a lot of these larger family offices and I always say family offices should be considered a family office if you're managing over $300 million, if you're under $300 million and you have a family office that's a lot of overhead that you actually don't need. And if you're managing over $300 million, you can afford to give a piece of the pie to your CIO and  have a well robust staff that can analyze each of these deals, can analyze your stock portfolio. When you walk into some of these offices, you're just blown away by how amazing they are and what everybody's doing in these offices. You've got different portfolio managers in certain managing these individuals' capital , and a great example is Tailwind Advisors here in Fort Worth. You've got a group of individuals down there that are extremely smart and they're extremely well-rounded and what they each oversee for Tailwind. You've got a real estate arm, you've got an energy arm, you've got a finance equity arm and so on. And when I talk to some of those different investors down there, it's amazing to see how their minds work and how they all ask different questions on a different, individual deal. We learn a lot that way about how to present certain deals to these groups. [00:48:00] Michael Moore: When you started taking that advisory role that we find ourselves into maybe a heightened level, and I know you've talked about with me your passion for travel and seeing this great big world that we live in. In looking at the news coverage last night bleeding into today and in Georgia and what that could mean for the U.S. Senate, what are you seeing on the forefront now in regard to tax laws and estate planning and where that could be headed?Raleigh Green: To be a hundred percent honest, I haven't really dived into it too much. I can speak from what I know and what I've been told over the last eight months during COVID. What I saw was a lot of family offices were protecting themselves and they were getting ready for a change of the guards, whether they wanted it or not.And whether the election turned out in favor of their candidate or not, 2021, they've already put 2020 behind them. 2021 they're geared up and ready to go. And I think we're gonna find out a lot with these two Senate seats. And if the Republicans hold the Senate, I think we're going to see a lot of additional capital flow into the market.However, I've been saying for the last 10 years that the market is due for a correction and I've been wrong. And I had business school buddies of mine in 2014 and 2015 saying they were pulling out their 401ks. They were going straight to cash. And I hope that they're still not there. And I remember in 2008 when [00:50:00] the, or 2007, when the stock market was at 12,000, the hedge fund manager that I worked for said that I would never see it break 12,000 again, and that it was monumental. And so, who knows; today's politics, it's a scary world that we live in and I've never seen our country this divided. And I think that that's a serious problem. There's a lot of people that don't know what they're talking about and they're supporting different people just because it's cool. And what they're not understanding is the ripple effect that it's going to have on generations to come. And the issues that we see today, there are definite issues that need to be addressed. This whole Black Lives Matter is something that hits home with me because I'm not racist by any means. I grew up running track with every race there is, and I showered with every race, and I loved everybody that I ran with and it really breaks my heart that there are people out there that have hatred still, hatred and racism is just uncalled for, and it's not something that I would ever stand with. I understand why these black communities are coming together, and I stand with them. However, I don't 100% support the Black Lives Matter movement. I do believe that racism needs to be ended and we are in a generation that still flies the Confederate Flag from time to time. I think that those people that are flying those flags are just ridiculous because they don't understand history. [00:52:00] The Confederates lost, it's over. No flags should ever be flown and it's a sign of immaturity, and it's a sign of people that are just ignorant and it's something that – I really think God is pulling everyone together in this country and He's putting an end to a lot of things that our government has shunned away from, and I think it's wrong that our government hasn't removed flags from different state flags, removing the Confederate Flag from these different state flags that should've been done years ago.I understand that there's a bunch of people saying, “well, you're just erasing history” and nobody's erasing history. The history was erased when the Confederates lost, and the flag needs to be erased and burned. We need to stand up as a community and stand up for each individual that's out there that needs our help. It's a wild world, it's a sick world that we live in, and we live in the greatest country in the world, and we abuse each other on a daily basis. It's just not necessary, and it needs to end. Michael Moore: Maybe a way to look at it is, in that example, it wouldn't be erasing history. It would be creating history by correcting something that should have been corrected a long time ago. I hear you on that.Raleigh Green: I didn't mean to go down that rabbit hole. Sorry guys. But that is definitely something that has been popped up recently. I just watched the 30 for 30 on the first NASCAR, or not first NASCAR, but the current NASCAR black [00:54:00] driver, and they found a noose in his garage at Talladega after the government said, “hey, no, no more state flags. We got to take out the Confederate Flag off all state flags,” and NASCAR came out and said, “we're not flying the Confederate Flag anymore”. And you're just going, “who are these people?” These are the most ignorant people there are. And it's an issue of generational stupidity and it's our job to get into these schools and to get with these parents in these next generations coming up and to say that is not right. And we've got to put an end to it. And today I'm sorry, but I feel like our schools have just become too weak and nothing's socially acceptable anymore.I think that they need to bring back the paddle because even when I was in high school, you did something wrong, you would get paddled. And those are things that we've lost sight of. America has gotten weak  and I hate to say it, everybody wants to be glorious and glamorous on, TikTok, and Snapchat, and Facebook, and Instagram, and they don't want to deal with today's issues, and they want to portray themselves as perfect. And they're really just running away from themselves and running away from the issues at hand that we all need to be addressing as humans. Michael Moore: No, we're glad you brought it up. Thinking back Bob, to when we were coming up with this idea, a big passion of this is getting thought provoking people that give a shit on this podcast to tell us what they think, because the message needs to get out.Doing nothing is worse than the alternative. [00:56:00] You don't have to look back far in any great time in any nation or empire or culture or history to realize that this is what breaks it down. So, no, we appreciate you bringing that up. Bob and I have had a lot of talks; living in Chicago right now is tough.Bob Wierema: We had Chris Lee on the podcast. Hearing his story, growing up being African-American and some of the stuff he's gone through, Harvard and Columbia educated and some of the stories you shared, to your point, the amount of ignorant people out there in what he shared was just, – you couldn't even imagine being in his shoes or that that would even happen, but it still has and did to him. And that's crazy. Raleigh Green: Yeah, it's really sad. Some of my best friends today are African Americans that I ran track with, that I went to high school with and I love those guys. I love everybody, it's something that my parents instilled in me at an early age was that it doesn't matter what color you are, everybody's a human and it was something that I feel has been starting to get addressed within the churches of America. Today, I go to a great church in Fort Worth, Christ Chapel. Cody McQueen is an amazing pastor and he's had to address the issues as well in front of the congregation and has gotten emotional talking about it. Because it's real. It's so easily just pushed aside. And it's [00:58:00] the movement that we saw a couple of years ago with women's rights and the abuse that they were tired of taking within the office place, and at the time I remember pushing it aside and laughing about it and you look back on it, and it's not something that needs to be laughed about. It needs to be something that's addressed because it's an issue. Michael Moore: That's good stuff. So, we got one more for you, Raleigh. There's the saying it's not what you know, it's who you know, and then we flipped it around and say, it's not who you know, it's who knows you.So, in thinking about the medium of this podcast and our listeners, and just all the passion that you share today about growing up with such an amazing dad and  maybe not getting marriage right the first time, but certainly nailing it the second and a wonderful kid along the way; what do you want people to know about you?Raleigh Green: Wow. That is a loaded question, man. I just want people to know that I'm a very loving human that just wants the best for everybody. And I'm a total adventurer. I love to travel and see the world. And if I see you out there, or if you see me out there running or playing tennis or traveling, don't be a stranger, always say hi. My door is open to everyone and I hope that this podcast shed some light on any dark time that you might be having, or gives you confidence in your ability to pursue your dreams and to go door knocking because [01:00:00] in the saying, it's not what you know, it's who you know, you got to go knock on a lot of doors to meet some people. Michael Moore: Great answer. Raleigh. We've really appreciated you coming on. This has been a phenomenal conversation. We thank you so much and we'll be sure to reach out to Meagan, get her on here as well.Raleigh Green: I appreciate it guys.  Bob Wierema: And thank you, Raleigh.
