Why Your Capital Raise Fails (And How to Fix It) - ft. Eric Mattingly Interview
Trust is the new currency for raising capital. In the age of AI, investors don't bet on pitch decks — they bet on people you trust. In this Entrepreneur Podcast episode, hosts Jillian Sedod and Nate Dodson sit down with Kevin Thompson — host of the Million-Dollar Relationship Podcast and founder of the Impact and Legacy Collective — to break down how to become a "conduit of trust" and turn genuine relationships into capital. Kevin built a $14.5M business from an "ugly" website (getmoldsolutions.com) and a 35,000-person email list when Google clicks were 5 cents. Today he teaches founders and fund managers how to build Relationship Capital that outlasts any algorithm. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: ✓ Why we're in a "Trust Recession" and how AI makes authentic connection more valuable ✓ The Active Appreciation Challenge: The 10-people-in-24-hours system to open any door ✓ How to stop pitching and start listening — the #1 networking mistake capital raisers make ✓ Why perfection kills progress (and how education builds authority) ✓ How to turn genuine curiosity into introductions, investors, and deal flow This is essential for syndicators, private equity fund managers, and anyone raising capital who wants to build a network based on trust, not transactions.

Generate Passive Income Without Owning Property
Most entrepreneurs assume the business is the plan. The retirement plan. The wealth plan. The safety net. The thing that will eventually pay them back for all the years they poured into it. But what happens if the exit does not happen on schedule? What happens if the income slows down? What happens if your entire net worth is tied up inside one illiquid asset you cannot easily access? That is the problem most founders do not want to talk about. You can build a company, raise capital, manage deals, lead teams, and still have no clear personal plan for the day the income stops. This live conversation is about that gap. Not generic budgeting. Not shame around money. Not “cut out coffee” advice. This is a practical discussion about how entrepreneurs can start building personal wealth outside the business, understand their retirement number, and make smarter decisions before they are forced to.
