Episode 118: Man Up Monday Podcast Episode #118- Michael Gula

Texas-born and DC-based, Michael Gula is the Managing Partner & Capital Raising Advisor of Monarch Worldwide, a global capital advisory and intelligence firm operating across Washington, DC, Athens, Greece, and New York City. Monarch helps companies and high-net-worth individuals raise capital, identify global opportunities, and navigate rapidly shifting markets.

Before Monarch, Michael co-founded Gula Graham with his best friend and business partner, Jon Graham, building it into the largest Republican fundraising firm in the United States and raising more than $512 million for 72 Members of Congress.

Jon’s sudden death in 2018 triggered a complete collapse in Michael’s life — personally and professionally. His rebuild began with his faith in Jesus Christ, which restored his conviction, grounded his decisions, and rebuilt his character from the inside out. Through faith, discipline, humility, and hard accountability, he rebuilt his life from zero.

Today, through Monarch Worldwide, he has helped companies raise billions across the globe. His message is direct, unapologetic, and rooted in real adversity, real responsibility, and the real rules of life and work.

He is the proud father of two children, Bennett (12) and Collins (10).
