#019: Rainy Days, Big Wins, and a Podcast Goldmine

This week: A Rainy Day Realization and a Podcast Growth Hack
Ever had a chat that flipped your whole game plan? This week, I uncovered two: a rainy-day conversation that birthed a real estate revolution and a podcasting playbook that turns guests into clients. Matt Blair and Chase Clymer dropped wisdom on Conversations That Grow and Podjunction—and it’s too good not to share!

Spotlight #1: Conversations That Grow
The Rainy Epiphany That Built a Fund

Meet Matt Blair, COO of REI Capital Growth. In 2018, he sat in an empty Dallas apartment, watching rain streak the window, deep in conversation with his dad. They were wrestling with an idea—how to help small investors access the wealth-building strategies ultra-wealthy families use in real estate.

That single conversation sparked a multi-year journey, overcoming industry resistance and regulatory hurdles, to build an investment fund now just weeks from launch. The big realization? Wealthy families have been doing this for generations—just never at scale for everyday investors.

• Mic-Drop Moment: ‘Wait a minute—people do this all the time, just not for everyone!’

• Why he’d slay a podcast: Matt’s thoughtful grit, deep industry knowledge, and ability to break down complex fnancial concepts make him an engaging storyteller.

Spotlight #2: Podjunction
The Podcast That’s Client Catnip

Chase Clymer, co-founder of Electric Eye and host of Honest Ecommerce, didn’t start his podcast with a master plan—it was just an alternative to writing blogs. But over time, he cracked the code: instead of chasing clients, invite them as guests.

By consistently featuring eCommerce brands he’d love to work with, Chase turned his podcast into a trust-building machine. Seven years later, it’s landed him speaking gigs, business deals, and high-value partnerships—all through meaningful conversations.

• Steal This Move: Cold outreach + a podcast invite = doors wide open.

• Pro Tip: Consistency beats perfection—Chase outlasted the quitters.
