In this episode of Earn Your Leisure, Pinky Cole addresses the headlines head-on—clearing up bankruptcy rumors, explaining how she won her property back after creditors illegally changed the locks, and breaking down what really happens when a $100M business faces setbacks. She shares how losing everything became a lesson not just for her, but for others watching her journey.

The conversation goes deeper into what it actually takes to build and sustain a business. Pinky explains the two engines every entrepreneur needs, why operations are everything, and how many founders fail by skipping steps, lacking structure, or keeping people past their expiration date. It’s a real look at how social media has changed the game—and not always for the better.

We also tap into the emotional side of entrepreneurship—having the right people around you, pushing through dark times, and still showing up for others. From supporting her husband while navigating her own challenges to staying focused on building a billion-dollar company, this is a raw and honest conversation about resilience, growth, and doing whatever it takes to win.

In this insightful clip of EYL, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal sit down with successful entrepreneur and mentor Ryan Breslow to discuss the intricacies of fundraising for startups. Ryan shares invaluable lessons and strategies that have helped him navigate the challenging world of venture capital and investment without falling into common pitfalls.

Ryan dives deep into his personal journey, recounting initially unsuccessful attempts at raising capital and the crucial advice he received from mentors like Michael Carter of Playco. One of the key takeaways from this conversation is the importance of building relationships rather than simply requesting funds outright. Ryan explains why stating you're fundraising can put unnecessary pressure on both the entrepreneur and potential investors. Instead, creating a network of advocates who are genuinely excited about you and your project is more beneficial in the long run.

Ryan also elaborates on the famed Silicon Valley adage: 'If you want money, ask for advice. If you want advice, ask for money.' This approach ensures that you not only gain valuable insights from seasoned professionals but also organically attract investors who believe in your vision and character.

Troy and Rashad probe further, asking Ryan about the strategic targeting of potential mentors and investors, and how to avoid getting a 'no.' Ryan emphasizes the contagion effect of rejection in the investment community and advises playing the long game by impressing potential supporters gradually rather than rushing to secure funds.

Throughout the episode, Ryan reflects on how critical it is to foster genuine connections within a network that can later be leveraged for intros and investments. His advice also covers the importance of not showing desperation to potential investors, as they are adept at detecting it to secure the best deals for themselves.

For anyone looking to raise funds for their startup, this episode is a goldmine of practical wisdom and strategic advice. Whether you're in the early stages of your entrepreneurial journey or looking to refine your approach to fundraising, Ryan Breslow's experience and insights will equip you with the tools to succeed.

Don't miss out on this episode packed with actionable advice and strategies for mastering the art of fundraising.
