    The $100M+ Venture Capital Mindset: Risk, Conviction & Building Wealth with Jenny Fielding

    If you’ve ever wanted to take a bigger risk, start a business, change careers, make an investment, but found yourself waiting until you felt completely certain, this episode is for you. In this episode, I sit down with Jenny Fielding, co-founder and Managing Partner of Everywhere Ventures, a pre-seed venture capital firm that has backed hundreds of startups around the world. Before becoming an investor, Jenny spent years on the other side of the table as an entrepreneur, building companies of her own before eventually realizing that her greatest strength wasn’t necessarily being the founder, it was identifying and supporting the people building what comes next. Today, Jenny operates in a world built around uncertainty. She invests in companies at their earliest stages, often before the outcome is clear, the market is proven, or the rest of the world has caught up to the founder’s vision. Together, we explore what that experience has taught her about risk, conviction, and building wealth when you can’t know exactly how things will turn out. Jenny shares why she believes risk is something you can learn to take, how she built financial safety nets before making major career moves, and why taking a big bet doesn’t have to mean betting everything. We also pull back the curtain on venture capital; what actually makes a company venture-backable, why some of the best ideas sound “crazy” at first, and the qualities Jenny looks for when deciding which founders to bet on. But some of the most powerful lessons from this conversation apply far beyond venture capital. We talk about the emotional side of taking risks, why effort doesn’t always guarantee an outcome, how to maintain conviction without becoming attached to being right, and why patience may be one of the most underrated skills in building wealth. Key takeaways: How to take meaningful risks without putting everything on the lineWhy Jenny thinks of risk as a dial rather than an all-or-nothing decisionThe difference between financial risk and emotional riskWhy hard work doesn’t always guarantee the outcome you wantWhat venture capitalists actually look for when investing in foundersWhy some of the best business ideas sound crazy before they become obviousThe qualities of a “fast founder” and why adaptability mattersHow to build conviction without becoming attached to being rightWhat venture investing can teach everyday investors about patienceWhy delayed gratification is so important when building wealthJenny’s definition of wealth—and why it has more to do with time than a paycheckWhether you’re thinking about starting a business, making a career move, investing for the future, or simply trying to become more comfortable with uncertainty, this conversation is a reminder that building wealth doesn’t require eliminating risk. It requires learning which risks are worth taking—and building the foundation that allows you to take them. Thanks for listening!!

    Building Wealth Isn't a Straight Line | Kevin Matthews II

    If you've ever wondered whether you're "behind" financially, felt anxious about investing, or believed there was one perfect path to building wealth, this episode is for you. In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Matthews II, financial planner, educator, bestselling author, and founder of BuildingBread, an education company helping everyday people invest, build wealth, and gain confidence with their money. After managing more than $140 million in investments, Kevin realized his greatest passion wasn't helping people who already had wealth—it was helping those just getting started. Since then, he's taught hundreds of thousands of people how to invest with confidence and build financial security that lasts. Together, we explore why wealth-building rarely follows a straight line and why flexibility may be one of the most valuable financial skills you can develop. Kevin shares how experience changes the way we respond to market volatility, why emotions can be our biggest investing obstacle, and how small, consistent habits often matter more than chasing the perfect strategy. But this conversation goes beyond investing. We also dive into the mindset shifts that create lasting wealth, why asking for help can accelerate your financial journey, and how true wealth is measured by the choices and freedom it creates—not just the number in your bank account. Key takeaways:  Why building wealth almost never happens in a straight line  How experienced investors think differently about market volatility  Practical ways to invest without letting fear drive your decisions  Why flexibility is one of the most important wealth-building skills  The power of automating your finances and tracking your net worth  How to build confidence when you're just starting your investing journey  The money belief Kevin had to unlearn about building wealth alone  Why true wealth is ultimately about freedom, options, and the ability to choose your future Whether you're investing for the first time, navigating market uncertainty, or simply trying to build a healthier relationship with money, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a refreshing reminder that wealth isn't about following someone else's formula—it's about creating a financial life that works for you.

    3 Filters I'm Using to Say No Faster on My Business Buying Journey (So I Can Find My Yes)

    If you've ever wondered how to actually evaluate a business before you buy it, or why "profitable on paper" doesn't always mean the deal is right, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I'm sharing three filters I've learned on my own business buying journey to help me say no to deals faster, so I can move confidently toward the right yes.  These aren't reasons to be scared of buying a business, they're tools to become a more aware, knowledgeable buyer! Key takeaways: Why a business can look profitable on paper but still be "too small" once you factor in replacing owner labor, servicing debt, and real cash flowHow to ask "what am I actually buying?" Separating hard assets and real contracts from handshake deals and inflated EBITDAWhy real estate and business value need to be underwritten separately (and how to know if you're buying a business or just buying land)The two tests every deal has to pass: the size test and the substance testThis episode is about learning to trust your own judgment as a buyer, mitigating risk, and staying patient enough to find a business that's actually aligned with the life and role you want to have. Because the goal isn't just to own a business, it's to own the right one. Thanks for listening!!

In this episode, I sit down with Kirsten Baumberger, founder of Mini Social, a 7-figure business connecting brands with micro-creators, and an angel investor supporting the next wave of female founders. We talk about what it actually looks like to grow a profitable business, how the creator economy has evolved, and why redefining success might be the most important move you make as a founder.
