Karen Rands shares a key inside secret that seasoned angel investors know and practice when making decisions about investing their personal capital into private companies - entrepreneur endeavors in this latest episode of The Compassionate Capitalist Show (tm).   Listen to Karen share how she helps those new to investing in startups and small to medium size businesses understand their responsibility to investigate the company's financial, legal, and operational details to make sure there aren't mitigating factors that would effect your investment decision and the potential future success of the company.   Unlike pubic companies, by and large, private companies are not under the same regulatory obligations to disclose information -- at the onset of seeking outside capital, during the due diligence process, and on an ongoing basis after the investment has been received-- as public companies that trade their shares on public stock exchanges.   There are disclosure requirements with Reg CF and Reg A+ companies, but not at the same level as public companies.

One of the Inside Secrets of the Wealthy, true Compassionate Capitalists, is this notion of a 'family office'.  Family offices differ from a high networth individual who hires professional service providers with multiple clients, to advise them about investment, tax and legal matters. Ultra high net worth families, with generational wealth, will create a family office to be dedicated to the specifc capital investment and philanthropic interests of the entire family through an integrative approach to increase their wealth but also to preserve it for generations to come.  Typically that leads to portfolios with traditional investments for preservation and income producing real estate for wealth creation.  

Listen to learn how Jamie Rhode, the Vice President at Verdis Investment Management, helped this family office diversify their portfolio in to private ventures, venture capital and private equity... investing in companies not yet on a public stock exchange.  Learn of their methodical data driven approach to establishing their investment mandate, sourcing, risk management and due diligence to provide for the current generation and build wealth for 3 generations into the future through venture investing strategicly.  Karen and Jamie discuss the data science & resources used to mitigate the risk when looking for the breakthrough innovations for vintage year 2021.

Kate Kordsmeier shares her tips, tactics, and insights into generating revenue from a blog -- as the primary business or as a lead generating machine. "Blogs" have been around so long, that 'bloggers' aren't cool like 'micro-influencers' these days. Yet, as Kate Kordsmeier discusses with Karen Rands on this episode of the Compassionate Capitalist Show, blogs are so much more than the daily journal, or weekly article most associated with term 'blog'. Blogs are websites and all websites should have a blog (even if it isn't called a blog). Blogs connect people to your company's purpose, product, and people... all the things that establish trust and value. When done right, blogs can become a direct source of revenue and lead magnet---particularly when you learn how to integrate an 'evergreen funnel' into your blog's conversion process. Listen to learn why and how.

Kate Kordsmeier (http://katekordsmeier.com) became a fulltime 'blogger', leading to multiple 6 figure revenue streams, when a personal health and family challenge gave her the passion and purpose to leave her reputable and prosperous full-time, freelance journaling career. She now shares her experience and knowledge through training and coaching for entrepreneurs and businesses seeking to use blogs as a revenue stream.

Time is precious. No matter how much money you make, you can't buy more time. Once it passes, it is no longer a resource to be tapped to enjoy leisure, get work done, or spend with loved ones. Everything revolves around the concept of time. Why is a workweek 40 hours and normal work days are Mon-Fri and so many 'working for the weekend'?  Side-hustle aside, why do we have laud entrepreneurs' "hustle culture" mentality in which working 70 - 80 hours to get the job done on your business is considered a strength not a weakness?  

Listen to Karen Rands and Joe Sanok, author of the breakthrough book, "Thursday is the New Friday: How to work fewer hours, make more money, and spend time doing what you want." We discuss the WHY & the HOW TO laid out in the book, and how Joe coaches entrepreneurs to master their internal inclinations and work style to create a four-day work week that boosts innovation, results, and personal well being. Learn the tactics the most successful entrepreneurs have incorporated to unlock creativity & productivity by working smarter (not harder) and limiting the time spent on things that don’t matter or can be done by someone else.

Joe is also the host of the popular The Practice of the Practice Podcast, which is recognized as one of the Top 50 Podcasts worldwide with over 100,000 downloads each month. As a sought after advisor, Joe increases executives' and business owners' productivity to build balance and improve their mental and physical well being.
