What if the path to ownership wasn’t buying more shares, but strategically eliminating everyone else’s? Starting with just 5% equity in a struggling photography company, Henry Coy-Burt proposed using the company’s own profits to buy out disinterested family shareholders at a locked $10 million valuation, dissolving those shares and watching his stake multiply as the company grew.

Most venture capital firms operate from a position of superiority…founders need them more than they need founders. Kelly Reeser from Tech Farms Capital has built her entire investment philosophy around the opposite approach: coming alongside entrepreneurs as a support system first, investor second. In this conversation, we dive deep into how her background in economic development shaped her unique perspective on venture capital, why she looks for "perspicacity" in founders (that Wayne Gretzky-like ability to skate where the puck is going), and how her children became her first investors with $152.56.   Connect with Kelly Reeser: Website: https://bit.ly/4nv0E6C  Facebook: https://bit.ly/46kTkDH  X.com: https://bit.ly/4mehXrT  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3VUGDus  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro of Show 01:57 Kelly Reeser’s Entrepreneurial Journey 09:19 Engaging Her Children in their Business 15:26 Authentically Living Out Faith  20:16 Starting Out their First Fund 21:33 Metrics of Venture Capital Investing 25:36 Building a Scalable Firm 29:46 Venture Capitals as a Relationship-Driven Business 32:41 Green Flags to Look Out For in Capital Investmenting 34:53 What Does a Dream Team Comprise of? 41:41 Importance of Successful Exits 45:36 Assessing Founders’ Characteristics  53:08 Red Flags to Look Out For in Making Deals 56:38 Ego vs. Humility in Business 1:02:59 Connect with Kelly Reeser Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8AM EST on YouTube https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v
What if everything I've been taught about relationships and communication is completely backwards?

Can you really pivot from a pre-med track to Hollywood glamour and find deeper purpose? Matin Maulawizada proved that unconventional career changes aren’t just possible, they’re often essential for discovering your true calling. After fleeing Afghanistan at 17 without speaking English, he pursued molecular biology at UC Berkeley before a chance encounter led him into the beauty industry. His scientific background became his secret weapon, allowing him to speak with authority about cosmetic chemistry while building relationships with A-list celebrities. This conversation explores how embracing unexpected opportunities, combined with technical expertise and authentic storytelling, can create a platform for meaningful humanitarian work that reaches far beyond any single industry.  Connect with Matin Maulawizada: Website: https://bit.ly/4g6AWDa  Website: https://bit.ly/420sP5e  YouTube: https://bit.ly/46d53W9  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4oX8iIB  Facebook: https://bit.ly/3VuAg0M  X.com: https://bit.ly/420sUWA  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4p1IMlF  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro of Show 02:56 Matin Maulawizada’s Back Story 15:47 Afghanistan Then vs. Now 17:39 Shift from Molecular Biology to Celebrity Makeup Artistry 33:18 Feeling Like Home in Different Countries 33:47 Experience during the Soviet-Afghan War 42:01 Immigration as an Emotional Journey 45:04 Afghan Misogyny 48:59 Political Trends Damaging Relationships 50:53 Heavy Metal Toxicity 56:37 American Wars and Money Laundering 1:01:29 European vs. American School Systems 1:04:45 Connect with Matin Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

I thought I was interviewing Brett Swarts about capital gains tax strategy, instead, I got a masterclass on how financial planning reveals our deepest values about life, legacy, and what truly matters. His story of forgiving his father at 14, working nights at Cheesecake Factory while building an empire, and raising five kids with intentional daily questions showed me that the best wealth strategies aren’t just about deferring taxes, they’re about designing a life aligned with your soul. Sometimes, the most profound business conversations happen when we stop talking about business entirely. What’s one conversation that unexpectedly shifted your entire perspective on success?

When I asked this ex-Marine who went from homelessness to training Hollywood stars where his strength comes from, his answer cut straight to my core: ”I have a responsibility to do something with my life because, I lost friends who don’t have the opportunity now to do things that I’m able to do.” His resilience isn’t rooted in personal ambition or military training — it’s anchored in survivor’s responsibility, in honouring those who can’t pursue their dreams. True strength, I realised, isn’t about being unbreakable, it’s about breaking in service of something infinitely bigger than yourself.

24-year-old CEO of RescAlert, Jakob Carmichael, just reminded me why age is irrelevant when you’ve found your purpose — he’s built an AI emergency response platform while many of us are still overthinking our next move. What struck me wasn’t his success, but his clarity. He saw Hurricane Harvey responders wasting resources because their systems couldn’t communicate, so he locked himself in his room and built a solution. Sometimes, the youngest voices carry the biggest wisdom, and the question isn’t whether you’re experienced enough to start, but whether you’re brave enough to begin with whatever problem you’re uniquely positioned to solve.  Connect with Jakob Carmichael: Website: https://bit.ly/4kpYhA8  YouTube: https://bit.ly/3GzW3QX  Instagram: https://bit.ly/408pT5L  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4ldPTVz  Facebook: https://bit.ly/44gTnRk  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4eAshrM  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:48 Jakob Carmichael’s Back Story 09:12 Operating a Business as a 21-y.o.

I just finished an incredible conversation with Megan Weddle — a top salesperson who turned a potential disaster into career-defining success through one simple act. Picture this: She’s sitting in a cafe with her company president when the client texts, “Sorry, we need to cancel today.” Most people would’ve just accepted it, but Megan called the client and said something that changed everything, “Please help me. I need your help today.” That moment of raw vulnerability didn’t just save a meeting, it built the foundation for a relationship that generated massive business for years.

Can you build massive wealth while staying true to biblical principles, or do you have to sell your soul to succeed in business? My guest Bridger Rogers answers this question definitively after his own journey from spiritual wandering back to faith-centered entrepreneurship. He shares his vision of becoming "the biblical Andrew Tate," bringing traditional masculine values and authentic leadership back to a generation of men trapped in what he calls "paycheck dependence syndrome." This conversation explores the intersection of faith, wealth building, and purposeful living in a way that challenges conventional wisdom about success.

What happens when a successful Afghan family loses everything overnight and must rebuild from nothing in a foreign country? In this powerful interview, I sit down with my mother-in-law Zahra Raheb to explore one of the most remarkable survival stories you'll ever hear. From Soviet invasion and refugee camps to single motherhood and military service in combat zones, Zahra's journey reveals how ordinary people develop extraordinary resilience when life strips away everything familiar.

“I’m not my old story. I’m not the old me.” — Powerful insights gained from my conversation with Jesse Deutscher. His story tells of the courage to completely transform your life, especially when addiction has defined you for decades. What resonates most is Jesse’s honesty about the messy middle — the therapy, the failed partnerships, the struggle to build legitimate businesses while breaking old patterns. He didn’t just get clean, he rebuilt his entire sense of self.

What makes a great leader in today’s shifting landscape? In this episode, I’ve had a fascinating conversation with serial entrepreneur-board member Chris Dalton, about purpose-driven leadership, ‘It is not a role, it’s a relationship.’ This shift in perspective is powerful and timely, as it challenges us to view leadership as an emergent property of connection, not hierarchy. He also shared the importance of empowering, not just your business partners, but also your employees, and how this can have a tremendous positive impact on your business goals. I’d love to hear your thoughts: How do you define leadership today?
