In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, Gui Costin speaks with Michael Ashmore, Founder of Rondeivu, an end-to-end InvesTech platform transforming how institutional investors source diligence, transact, and monitor investments across private markets. Michael, with over 20 years of experience in finance, private equity, and venture capital, shares his journey from a background in law and economics to founding Rondeivu after recognizing the inefficiencies in private markets and deal processes.Michael recounts his career path, starting with a desire to pursue corporate law, but transitioning into the investment world after realizing that law wasn't the right fit for his long-term career. He began his career in institutional investments, gaining valuable experience managing multi-billion-dollar portfolios for pensions and fund-of-funds. His time at firms like OMERS and PGGM laid the groundwork for his entrepreneurial venture into the tech-enabled private market space.Rondeivu, founded in 2021, was built to address the inefficiencies Michael experienced as an investor at OMERS. These inefficiencies included duplicative efforts, disparate data, and lack of centralized systems for managing private market deals. Michael and his co-founder set out to create a platform that would streamline the deal process, making it more efficient for both investors and managers. The platform includes automated tools for sourcing deals, conducting due diligence, and managing transactions, with a focus on real-time updates and seamless workflows.Michael discusses Rondeivu's initial success, including its ability to secure $371 billion in investor mandates, representing discretionary private market capital from sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurance companies, and family offices. He also shares how the firm has been able to close deals with large institutional players, and his approach to business development and building a client base. The platform's ability to help investors leverage technology to save time and improve decision-making is a central part of its value proposition.Rondeivu's value proposition, according to Michael, is its ability to provide a quicker “yes or no” for investors, cutting down on the time spent analyzing opportunities and giving them the tools they need to make faster, more informed decisions. He describes how their algorithmic matching and deal sourcing capabilities help reduce inefficiencies and create a seamless experience for institutional investors.In the episode, Michael also shares his leadership style and the challenges of scaling a fintech startup. He emphasizes resilience, the importance of learning from mistakes, and staying focused on building the business. Michael's advice for young professionals is clear: embrace the challenges, keep learning, and stay patient.Tired of chasing outdated leads?

The Department of Health and Human Services has made ChatGPT available to all of its employees effective immediately, according to a Tuesday departmentwide email obtained by FedScoop. In that message, HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill said the rollout of the generative AI platform follows a directive from President Donald Trump's AI Action Plan for agencies to ensure that workers who could benefit from the technology have access to it. “This tool can help us promote rigorous science, radical transparency, and robust good health,” O'Neill said. “As Secretary Kennedy said, ‘The AI revolution has arrived.'” O'Neill provided workers with instructions on how to log on to use the tool, as well as some warnings about how to treat outputs. He told workers to “be skeptical of everything you read, watch for potential bias, and treat answers as suggestions,” and directed them to weigh original sources and counterarguments prior to making a major decision. The General Services Administration has created a new office within the Federal Acquisition Service focused on streamlining the agency's procurement of common goods and services, a GSA spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. Acting GSA Administrator Michael Rigas recently signed the order establishing the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS), the spokesperson said, describing it as a “centralized, enterprise-wide approach.” “By leveraging one federal wallet, GSA will deliver significant savings to the taxpayer, greater efficiencies, and reduced duplication, enabling agencies to focus on their core missions,” the spokesperson said in a written statement. GSA senior executive Thomas Meiron will serve as the office's assistant commissioner, the GSA said. Meiron has been with the GSA for over three decades, according to his LinkedIn profile. He most recently served as the acting assistant commissioner for the agency's Office of Customer and Stakeholder Engagement. The move directly supports President Donald Trump's executive order, signed in March, to consolidate federal procurement in the GSA.

In this episode, I talk about the ten biggest drains on our energy at work, and more importantly, what we can do about them. From toxic coworkers who sap morale, to noisy environments that make it hard to focus, to ergonomic setups that leave us tired and sore, these small but constant frictions add up. We also face inbox overload, endless meetings, unclear priorities, and the creeping burnout that comes from trying to do it all. But here's the good news: every one of these drains has a practical solution. Setting boundaries with difficult colleagues. Using noise-cancelling strategies. Adjusting your workstation for comfort and posture. Streamlining your email. Building better meeting habits. Clarifying what actually matters day-to-day. The truth is, you don't need a radical change to reclaim your energy, you need a series of small, intentional shifts. That's what we dive into today: how to plug the leaks, one by one, and create the conditions for focus, flow, and sustainable energy at work.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty speaks with entrepreneur Johnie Tolman, who shares his path from the payroll and PEO industry into owning an insurance agency. Johnie share how starting in 2005, he built a strong presence in the construction and Latino markets, later expanding into insurance after the 2008 downturn & how by he had purchased an agency, enabling him to offer payroll, insurance, bonding, and benefits under one roof. Ty and Johnie discuss how combining services helps businesses simplify operations and stay compliant. John explains the advantages of platforms like Cloud9 HR, which streamline onboarding, payroll, and benefits, while also making it easier for employees to access essential information such as pay stubs and W-2s, and how this efficiency strengthens client relationships and improves retention. Ty and John also emphasize the importance of education in insurance. From supplemental cancer coverage to dental and vision plans, they highlight how offering the right benefits not only protects individuals from unexpected costs but also gives employers a competitive edge in attracting and keeping talent.   As always, we would like to hear from you!

Aspen Noonan, CEO of Elevate Holistics, a company that helps patients obtain medical marijuana cards through a telehealth consultation with licensed doctors. The qualifications for obtaining a medical marijuana card vary by state, and Elevate Holistics helps patients navigate the regulatory landscape. Many doctors are hesitant to recommend cannabis due to the federal illegality and restrictions from employers, and Elevate Holistics is filling the gaps by connecting patients looking for alternative treatments for conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. Aspen explains, "We are a one-stop shop for getting your online medical marijuana card. We connect doctors with patients 100% online in over 18 states to go through the process, which basically means book your appointment, fill out forms, join a video chat, call, and check for your emails because it's a hands-off experience. We really help people. I say A to Z, we don't just see you and get out. We ensure that your state application is filed correctly, so you ca your medical card at the end of the day."   "You have every right to ask your primary care provider for a medical marijuana recommendation. The problem is, and the reason we started, is that a lot of doctors do not want to sign their name next to something that says cannabis. They aren't allowed to go through their clinics. Let's say they work at a hospital, they work at a big organization, and they're not allowed to attach their name to the cannabis industry. And so that's where we come in and just take patients, take a provider, put them together."  #ElevateHolistics #Marijuana #Cannabis #MedialMarijuana #MedicalMarijuanaCard elevate-holistics.com Listen to the podcast here

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite productivity tip: the 30-minute catch all block. As a mom and business owner, I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle constant inputs and endless micro-tasks. That's why I schedule one or two dedicated 30-minute blocks each day—midday and/or at the end of the day—to batch tasks like replying to emails, returning messages, and handling admin work. This simple shift has helped me reduce task switching, clear mental clutter, and protect my focus time for deep work. I use my digital calendar to make these blocks non-negotiable, so I can stay in control and be less reactive throughout the day. If you're looking for more clarity, calm, and productivity, try adding a catch all block to your routine. Plus, if you haven't already, check out my free training on the habits and routines that help me balance business and motherhood here. Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Charles Byrd. If you've ever wanted to scale your business without spending a fortune on ads—and do it while building powerful, lasting relationships—Charles is the guy you want to learn from. Charles started his career in Silicon Valley as a director at a billion-dollar software company, where he earned the nickname “The Chaos Killer” for his ability to simplify and streamline complex projects.
