In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, I sit down with Michael & Samantha Guthrie of Pacific Capital LLC — founders who scaled one of the largest independent ATM networks in the country to an 8-figure exit. We cover the exact strategies that helped them: Think differently in a wholesale-driven model Partner instead of compete in a saturated market Navigate a successful industry-timed exit Negotiate smart by creating a multi-buyer dynamic Reinvest post-exit into private lending, passive income, and tax-efficient assets We also talk about how they approach capital raising today, the mindset that helped them scale lean with just four employees, and the "PITA Principle" that helped streamline operations before their exit. If you're a founder, family office investor, or dealmaker trying to build something real, this conversation is packed with hard-won insights and tactical advice from two entrepreneurs who've lived it — and exited successfully.

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Paul Hutchinson, co-founder of a multi-billion dollar real estate investment fund, founder of the Child Liberation Foundation and Liberating Humanity, and primary investor/executive producer of the film "Sound of Freedom." Paul shares how he went from a $20M exit in his 20s, to losing hundreds of thousands on his first real estate deals, to ultimately building a multi-billion dollar multifamily platform by bringing in world-class partners, managing risk, and operating with uncompromising integrity through the 2008 crisis. He also opens up about his decision to commit 10–20% of his income and time to philanthropy early in life, how that shifted his opportunities, and the core mindset that makes someone truly effective at raising capital. Then Paul dives into his undercover work rescuing children, the real story behind "Sound of Freedom," what families actually need to know about trafficking risk, and why he now focuses on global healing and trauma-release through Liberating Humanity and transformational retreats. In this episode, you will learn: How Paul built and sold his first company (anxiety and mental health education) for $20M before age 30 Why he lost money on his first real estate deals and the specific pivot into B-class multifamily that changed everything How bringing in "overqualified" partners (ex–Citigroup leadership, global capital raisers) turned a good firm into a multi-billion dollar fund The role of integrity during the 2008 crisis and how not losing principal created 48% IRR years and long-term investor trust Why committing 10–20% of income and time to giving early can radically change your deal flow, relationships, and opportunities The inside story of Paul's first undercover rescue mission, the making and distribution journey of "Sound of Freedom," and practical ways to better protect your own children If you want to go deeper into capital raising, integrity-based deal structures, and building a life that actually makes a global impact, this conversation will challenge how you think about money, mission, and what "success" really looks like.

Send us a textIn this session, Richard C. Wilson breaks down the six must-have assets almost every capital raiser is missing, and how to show up like an institutional-quality professional instead of “just another deal.”Here are the 6 must-haves he covers:Unique position – a clearly defined, memorable niche so investors know exactly where you fit and why you're different.One-line capital-raising pitch – a single sentence with 3 data points explaining what you do, why people trust you, and the value you add.Founder video – a short, authentic video that builds trust, shows who you are, and briefly walks through what your company actually does.Visual one-pager – a simple, scan-friendly one page that an investor can understand between the gate and their airplane seat.Concise pitch deck – ideally 10–15 pages (or under 25 pages) that investors will really read, with the detail pushed to a data room instead of a 44-page info dump.Due diligence data room – organized documents plus a master DDQ and background check ready to go so serious investors can dig in quickly.Richard also shares why:– Relationships drive investment decisions more than IRR projections– Consistent, niche content (talks, videos, articles, etc.) makes you locally, then nationally known– Tools like CRMs, AI call transcription, outbound dialers, and even old-school direct mail can dramatically improve your investor follow-up– Protecting your time, saying no, and moving fast are common patterns among the most successful family offices and foundersIf you're raising capital or advising portfolio companies, this talk gives you a practical checklist for becoming investor-ready and upgrading the quality of the conversations you're having.Learn more at https://familyoffices.com/ for events, investor club memberships, and capital-raising tools.https://familyoffices.com/

Send us a textIn this live investor event session, Richard C. Wilson breaks down what truly separates billionaires and centimillionaires from “normal” successful people, and why most founders, fund managers, and advisors unintentionally take their foot off the gas once they hit a few million.Richard shares insights from dinners with heads of an $8B+ family office, and then dives deep into one of the most overlooked force multipliers in capital raising: positioning. He explains why the founder of Paychex refuses to invest in any company that isn't branded to win, and how a simple rebrand at $8B AUM helped one wealth advisor grow past $25B+ in assets.You'll learn:Why top families keep pushing while others coast at $5–10MHow a crystal-clear niche and brand name can make your firm “preeminent” in your spaceThe Jim Collins hedgehog concept applied to capital raisers (passion, profit, and DNA)How to choose a 7% niche that captures 70% of the profitsWhy generic names like “XYZ Capital” quietly kill replies, deal flow, and investor trustHow to send investor emails that deliver real value first (checklists, DDQ templates, tools) instead of “Can I pitch you my deal?”Richard also shares real before/after examples of rebrands that moved firms from confusing and forgettable to institutional-grade and obvious at a glance, plus how his own YouTube positioning has led to cold inbound from founders doing tens of millions in revenue.

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down for a live fireside chat with Todd from Ridgeline Capital Group, a single family office built on the back of a $600M entrepreneurial journey. Todd shares how he co-founded Express Locations, a T-Mobile retailer he scaled from zero to 150+ stores, 1,400 employees, and over $600M in revenue—without using traditional bank debt. He walks through the early days of the wireless industry, the decision to leave a secure corporate career, and the mindset required to move from operator to founder to family office principal. You'll hear Todd's lessons on: Working "smart" by surrounding yourself with exceptional people Structuring true partnerships and sharing equity to attract A-players Growing fast with discipline and simplicity across 10 states Surviving four major economic downturns and why patience is a competitive advantage Why his family office prioritizes relationships, off-market deals, and quality of life over maximum leverage How he brings his adult children into the family mission, vision, and values—and uses formal family meetings to align across generations If you're an entrepreneur, capital raiser, or future family office looking to scale without losing your sanity, this conversation is packed with real data points and practical frameworks you can apply immediately.

Send us a textIn this Family Office Club Summit session, Richard C. Wilson breaks down how billionaires think about distribution, deal flow, and “strategic choke points” and how you can apply the same mental models to your own business, investor club, or family office.Richard shares real examples from 18+ years of running investor clubs, including:– How one member met a CPA at an event who went on to refer 43 investors– How Michael Scott used ideas from these events to raise $8M and later have a $100M exit– Why distribution and choke points are worth millions when you design them intentionallyWhat you'll learn in this talk:- Why attending live investor events and summits can lead to exponential outcomes from just one connection.- What a “strategic choke point” is (from Vern Harnish's Mastering the Rockefeller Habits) and how to build your own.- How top private equity firms quietly generate proprietary deal flow with a simple, low-cost outbound process.- How to think about distribution in terms of capital, information, deal access, and relationships.- Ways to create “unfair advantage” with positioning, naming, and niche focus.- The difference between having a strong, clear position and keeping your deal structures flexible.- How creative structures like gross revenue royalties, anchor investors, and multiple share classes can unlock deals.- Why most wealthy investors care more about trust, alignment, and structure than just headline returns.- How to “train your gut” and think more strategically like a centimillionaire or billionaire.Resources mentioned in the talk:– ChokePoint Coach (AI tool on strategic choke points inside the Family Office Club portal)– Deal Structure Ninja (AI tool to brainstorm and improve deal structures)– Billionaires.com — interviews where billionaires share the one choke point or turning point that changed everything– FamilyOffices.com — more on our events, investor club, and membership optionsIf you're serious about raising capital, improving deal flow, or scaling your investor platform, this session will give you frameworks you can use immediately.To learn more or apply to join the Family Office Club, visit:https://FamilyOffices.com/joinhttps://familyoffices.com/

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Jeff Hoffman—serial entrepreneur and Billioanire, Priceline.com/Booking.com founding team member, inventor of the airport check-in kiosk, Grammy and Emmy winner, and chairman of the Global Entrepreneurship Network. Out of 275+ events and 2,000+ speakers, Jeff has been rated the single best speaker to ever hit the Family Office Club stage—and you're about to hear why. Jeff unpacks the mindset shift that changed everything for him: real leaders don't create followers, they create other leaders. He shares how stepping out of the way, serving his team (including literally picking up a 20-year-old's dry cleaning), and obsessing over operational focus—"if it doesn't sell more hotel rooms, don't do it"—helped scale Priceline/Booking.com into a global giant. Jeff explains how to avoid being "blinded by your own brilliance," including the lesson he learned from Sam Walton: stop listening to experts and start listening to your customer (the "farmers"). He also dives into defining success and failure upfront on a single sheet of paper, wiring money back to investors when metrics showed they wouldn't hit the mark, and why most founders completely mishandle investor relations by only calling when they need cash. On the culture side, Jeff shows how you keep a team so engaged that nobody quits—by knowing exactly why each person comes to work (like buying a mom a house) and tying their personal goals to the company mission. He challenges the "grind 24/7" culture, arguing instead for working smart, automating ruthlessly, and reserving the all-nighters for the rare moments that truly matter. Jeff closes with his work at the Global Entrepreneurship Network (200 countries) and World Youth Horizons, redefining entrepreneurship as self-determination and teaching people—especially youth—how to design their own future instead of depending on anyone else. If you care about scaling a business, leading people well, raising capital intelligently, and living a life that actually aligns with your values, this conversation is a masterclass.

Wilson explains the art of deal structuring — listening deeply to investors' goals, tailoring terms to match their comfort zones, and leveraging “anchor investors” from within a niche to validate deals.Recorded live at the 2025 Super Summit, Richard shows how being flexible and investor-centric transforms cold pitches into lasting partnerships.If you want to understand how top family offices think when reviewing opportunities, this clip distills 18 years of lessons into five powerful minutes.This clip was taken from the Niche Investment Strategies Panel, filmed live at our Family Office Club Super Summit.To become part of our investor community — with 30 nationwide events a year, 10,000 registered investors, and 40 proprietary AI tools — visit https://FamilyOffices.com#DealStructuring #FamilyOffices #CapitalRaising #InvestorRelations #PrivateInvestinghttps://familyoffices.com/

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson interviews Kevin Harrington—original Shark from Shark Tank, creator of the modern "As Seen On TV" model, and early investor in Celsius. Kevin walks through how he turned unused cable downtime in the 1980s into a billion-dollar infomercial engine, took his company public, and then scaled a global distribution business by syndicating only the proven winners worldwide. He explains why he exited TV at the right time, how he spotted Celsius at $0.10 per share before it became a $20B brand, and why influencer and digital marketing now beat traditional media for consumer products. Kevin also breaks down his philosophy of becoming a Key Person of Influence (KPI)—building your personal brand, writing books, doing 100+ podcasts, and assembling a "dream team" so the best deals and JV opportunities come to you first. He shares lessons from mentoring with Richard Branson, running high-discipline studios, reviewing 1,000+ pitches, and what he looks for in early-stage consumer deals personally and through Cypress Ascendant.

What if the difference between getting funded—or getting ignored—came down to one sentence, one structure, or one mindset shift? In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Richard C. Wilson, founder & CEO of the Family Office Club, the largest community of ultra-wealthy investors on the planet. Richard has personally built relationships with more than 1,500 investors, interviewed 47 billionaires, and built an ecosystem that helps founders raise capital with precision.

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey, co-founders of Barefoot Wine and New York Times bestselling authors of The Barefoot Spirit. Starting with $300,000 of unpaid grape debt, no wine background, and a "desk" in their laundry room, they spent 20 years building Barefoot into America's #1-selling wine brand—without traditional advertising. Michael and Bonnie share what really moves the needle in brutally competitive consumer markets: ruthless focus on distribution, knowing every job in the chain, and making "friends in low places" with the people who actually move product—forklift drivers, merchandisers, and store staff. They explain why you don't get to choose your own growth targets; the metrics are already "written on the wall" by the last deal that closed in your niche. The conversation then shifts to legacy, values, and storytelling. Michael and Bonnie unpack their Business Audio Theater model—Hollywood-style dramatized audio that captures a founder's real story, principles, and hard-won lessons in a format next-gen family members, employees, investors, and partners will actually consume. If you're building a brand, raising capital, or stewarding a family office and want to scale both your business and your values, this episode will reframe how you think about distribution, strategic alliances, and the power of story.

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.

Send us a textAfter hosting 300+ events over the past 18 years, Family Office Club founder and CEO Richard C. Wilson shares 10 proven strategies for making the most of your time at investment conferences. Whether you're raising capital, investing, or building key relationships, these insights will help you unlock maximum ROI from every event you attend.

"The riches are in the niches" isn't just a catchy phrase – it's the cornerstone of successful real estate investing according to Alec McElhinny, founder and CEO of LandPlay. While most investors crowd into saturated multifamily markets, Alec has carved out extraordinary returns by focusing on two overlooked sectors: Flex Space and data center conversions.Flex Space developments serve blue-collar businesses like plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electrical contractors – recession-proof companies generating millions in revenue while needing minimal square footage. These smaller bay sizes (1,500-12,000 sq ft) command premium rental rates per square foot while offering tenants precisely what they need. The beauty of this model? Less competition, easier approvals, lower construction costs, and higher returns than traditional commercial real estate.Alec's current project exemplifies strategic positioning. Located in New Braunfels – the fastest-growing city in Texas within the fastest-growing county in America – his development sits along I-35 with visibility to 150,000 daily vehicles. This corridor will welcome approximately 1.5 million new residents over the next decade, creating unprecedented demand for commercial space that serves essential businesses.For investors seeking even higher returns, Alec discusses data center conversions – particularly office buildings that can access 20-30 megawatts of power and need minimal structural modifications. With AI development accelerating and major tech companies relocating to business-friendly states like Texas, these conversions can potentially double or triple investments within just a few years.What separates successful developers from the crowd? Alec credits rigorous due diligence: "Development due diligence is like solving a mystery – how come nobody's bought this yet and built what I want to build here?" Understanding water access, zoning restrictions, and lease-up potential often reveals why seemingly perfect properties remain undeveloped.Whether you're an accredited investor seeking higher returns or a developer looking for your next opportunity, this episode delivers actionable insights into tomorrow's most profitable real estate niches. -----Learn more about Alec's real estate projects at https://land-play.com/To learn more about Jonathan's recession resilient mobile home park real estate Fund & Flex Space Development investments for Accredited Investors: https://www.midwestparkcapital.com/To learn more about Jonathan's business growth consulting and fractional CMO services, and digital marketing for small businesses:https://www.revenueascend.com/consulting/The Family Office Club was founded in 2007 and has now become the world's largest association in the industry with over 7,500 registered ultra-wealthy investors-Richard C.

Kevin Harrington takes us on a thrilling journey from his early days as the pioneer of the infomercial industry to becoming a powerhouse investor and Shark Tank celebrity. With remarkable candor, he reveals how acquiring unused cable television time in the 1980s launched his career and led to building multiple public companies and completing over 1,000 business transactions.The true magic of Harrington's success lies in his ability to adapt to changing market conditions. When he noticed television viewership declining as younger generations flocked to TikTok and Instagram, he pivoted away from his As Seen On TV empire toward digital marketing strategies. This foresight led to one of his most spectacular investments—Celsius energy drink—which he joined as a board member when shares were just $0.10, helping build it into a $20 billion company without spending a single dollar on television advertising.Make sure to download as we bring the best centimillionaires and billionaires interviews on the Accredited Investor Podcast. To learn more about Jonathan's recession resilient mobile home park real estate Fund & Flex Space Development investments for Accredited Investors: https://www.midwestparkcapital.com/To learn more about Jonathan's business growth consulting and fractional CMO services, and digital marketing for small businesses:https://www.revenueascend.com/consulting/The Family Office Club was founded in 2007 and has now become the world's largest association in the industry with over 7,500 registered ultra-wealthy investors-Richard C.
