Transcript

What up? It's Fred Rea, the guy who started Rain City Capital back in 2009 when private lending wasn't exactly the cool kid on the block. Welcome to Good Nuggets, a podcast that's as much about the failures and "holy shit" moments as it is about the wins. Here's the deal: I've watched people go from nearly walking out the door to becoming absolute powerhouses in this business, and that's exactly what we're unpacking here. The real, sometimes messy, journey of building something that matters. We'll get into the weeds with loan officers, talk strategy with fellow lenders and swap war stories with entrepreneurs who have been there. No fluff, no corporate bs, just authentic conversations and practical takeaways you can actually use. So grab whatever you're drinking, get comfortable, and let's get after some good nuggets.
