  • Episode 148 – Podcasting for Capital | The Raising Capital Show with Nate Dodson & Dave Dubeau
    Sep 19 2025

    In episode 148 of The Raising Capital Show, Nate Dodson sits down with Dave Dubeau to discuss how syndicators and fund managers use podcasting as a direct path to raising more capital.

    Instead of chasing downloads or trying to book celebrity guests, there is a smarter approach: design your show around your investor avatar, highlight them as guests, and use each episode as a stepping stone toward accredited investor meetings. Then repurpose the show's content for marketing outreach as an end-to-end marketing system.

    This is how to structure interviews to open up investment conversations, build your authority in the investment world, and repurpose podcast content into a full marketing system. Here are some real-world examples of syndicators who used this approach to secure investments and even connect with billion-dollar fund managers.

    Highlights:

    • "Forget downloads. The real value is in interviewing your ideal investors directly."

    • "Podcasting becomes your relationship-building machine, not just another piece of media."

    • "With the right system, every episode creates trust, authority, and new opportunities for discovery calls."

    Jul 1 2025

    In this episode, Nate and Jillian show us what it really takes to sell investment opportunities the right way. Spoiler: it's not about being pushy—it's about building real relationships.

    Nate shares why raising capital is different from selling anything else and why trust, connection, and good old-fashioned conversation matter more than slick pitches. From avoiding the hard close to leveraging credibility and using tech wisely, this episode is full of real-world tips on how to connect with investors and grow your network the human way.

    Tune in to find out why your sales calls aren't closing and what to do instead.

    Quick Takeaways:

    • People invest in people—become a friend before you pitch

    • Asking for $100K is emotional, not just logical

    • Forget one-call closes—it takes time and follow-up

    • Share stories, ask questions, listen more than you talk

    • Borrow authority if you're new—credibility matters

    Is AI coming for your job… or just your boring tasks? In this episode, Jillian and Nate get real about the fears AND massive potential of using AI in the capital raising world.

    They'll walk you through practical, copy-paste prompts, the actual role of APIs (no jargon, promise), and how to use AI like the best employee you've ever trained. Plus, get the scoop on their free AI Deal Desk Starter Kit that's already helping other investors speed up results and save serious brainpower.

    What You'll Learn

    • Why AI isn't scary—it's just undertrained (and you're the trainer)

    • How to shave hours off deal analysis with the right prompts

    • What ChatGPT and Claude are really good at (and what they're not)

    • How APIs and tools like Zapier help you connect the dots

    • Why vague prompts = vague results (and how to get specific like a pro)

Marv explains how he structures deals allowing for both risk management and asset protection. He not only shares the macro factors that make memory care facilities more attractive than multifamily but also how he navigates the far more stringent compliance associated with this type of investment.
