The Evergreen Business Model with Ralleigh Grandberry of Round Sky
When Ralleigh Grandberry, President of Round Sky, says “I have 19 people that look up to me,” he’s not flexing—he’s showing the weight of responsibility that fuels his relentless grind.
This convo pulls back the curtain on how Ralleigh built a financial services powerhouse that thrives no matter what the economy throws at it.
💡 His insight: “When the economy is down, payday loans are up. But also when the economy’s up, payday loans are up—because the American way is to overfinance yourself.” That’s the evergreen foundation behind Round Sky’s dominance.
While others chase short-term wins, Ralleigh plays the long game—focusing on tailored solutions, authenticity, and true partnerships that last.
His personal mantra? “I missed two days of work in 15 years.” Combine that with discipline in fitness and mindset, and you see why quitting has never been an option.
For anyone in affiliate marketing or financial services, this episode is a masterclass in sustainability, honesty, and scaling the right way.

Closing: Debt Services Overview
I have 19 people that look up to me.
Speaker 1:They might not see it the way I see it, but I can't let them down. So I have to work out, I have to read, I have to wake up early morning. You have to be the one that wins the game for everybody. You end up in this spot, man, but you now, when you're in this spot, what are you going to do? Fail, what do you do? Quit, what do you? Bam, bam, we got El Presidente. I ain't talking about David Pornow. I ain't talking about Barstool. I'm talking about the real Presidente, riley Granbury.
Speaker 1:You're in a space that I think is evergreen and never ends. Obviously, I'm president of Round Sky. Our focus is personal loan, payday loans and installment loans. The coolest thing and the craziest thing about it is when the economy is down, payday loans are up. You're at the show. What are you looking for exactly? Honestly, I'm looking for affiliates to drive traffic to our offers. Out of all of those, what's the hottest right now? Yeah, it's going to be credit card and debt settlement. I got into this industry back in 2017, 2016.
Speaker 1:A lot of people that most of the people that are at the first show I went to they're not there anymore. Big chains you know, expensive shoes, and now you see them. Next time you're like why you want a t-shirt dog. What's your ideal partner in this? A lot of guys tell you oh man, pay me this, pay me that. Hey, man, I can pay you that, but I can't pay that a thousand times, you know. Let's be fair. But if you need a CPC offer, we can do that and scale it to five to ten. Careful man, bam bam bam. We ain't fucking around, we keep going on this show. We got El Presidente. I ain't talking about David Pornow, I ain't talking about Barstow, I'm talking about the real Presidente, riley Granbury, round sky president, the man in charge of the fucking extra large, all the way from Las Vegas.
Speaker 1:I think we met in Bangkok about three, four years ago. We've been in so many other spots, man. We've been in mad continents yeah, dubai, colombia, budapest, obviously, barcelona, new York. We've even been to Predator Colombia man. We've done Colombia, colombia, medellin. But you've been at Predator man. A lot of all four of you ain't been there. We should do Columbia, columbia and Predator, we'll see it can't handle us. I had a good time, though, in Predator. I literally had. I had somebody bought me five shots. I was like 10th shot Right, yeah, I do. Yo, I don't think you're going to get killed, man, you're hard to kill. You're like Steven Seagal, baby. Ah yo, the Terminator guy, you like that, definitely You're special. But, bro, let's get into it. And guys, by the way, if you like our content, I know a lot of you motherfuckers like fire subscribe man. Help the algorithm, baby come on man.
Speaker 2:We're about to get some fire. We got the restaurant.
Speaker 1:we got the infernal place. Let's go, boys, there we go, seriously, pull it down. It's a rally man. You're in a vertical man. You're in a in a space that I think is fucking fire. I feel like it's evergreen and never ends. You're in the money finance space. Yeah, let's talk more about what ron sky does and how it helps. But again, I love this vertical because people fucking need money, people are in financial stress. So let's talk about what you guys do, all right. So obviously, I'm president of RoundSky. I appreciate your time, but thank you for it.
Speaker 1:Our focus is personal loan, petty loans and installment loans. The coolest thing and the craziest thing about it is that obviously we're based in America, but the craziest that is when the economy is down, petty loans are up. But also when the economy's up, petty loans are up because the American way is to overfinance yourself. So if you get a new job, you get a new car, but if you get a new car, you got to finance it. If you lose your job, you got to get money to finance it. So either way, you know, we usually win, no matter what. So when Trump does good or Trump does bad, it don't matter for me, I'm still going to win on both sides of the coin, and that's what makes it the best thing overall. Yeah, I love it, man, and it seems like every time we go to these shows I've seen you in Bangkok, budapest, dubai, wherever the hell. I see you here in Barcelona. You guys always have a good captive audience at your booths and to me that signals that, from hearing from knowing you for so long, knowing the industry you guys are, the right thing by your partners is what it comes down to, right? Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'll tell you two for one, guys, and this is a game for everybody here and this is a real game, but you guys are actually going to's going to want to do it, but the reality is you never see me dressed like this regular life. That's true.
Speaker 1:When I went to Greta, I did not wear anything flashy. I had the simplest outfit on a cheap T-shirt. I was wearing shorts and you told me I had to put pants on. Yeah, you can't be wearing shorts at Columbia. They think you're a gringo. You put scolopamine on your ass, right, because the goal here is to sell, not to be sold. Correct, and nobody's going to even take that advice. They're going to look at it and come here, wear a Balmain shirt and try to fit in. I don't wear these sunglasses every day. These sunglasses are literally only for shows. They're literally only for shows, but they're expensive, they're cool, it's flashy.
Speaker 1:The goal is to be out there, get people's attention, bring people to us and, of course, treat partners well and our clients well. You know, yeah, so give us an example. So you're at the show. What are you looking for exactly? You have people who drive traffic to your offer. What's the partnership? Honestly, I'm looking for affiliates super affiliates, of course to drive traffic to our offers. But but we have literally six offers in one.
Speaker 1:So when you apply on my offer, it's first, it's personal loans. If you reject it, it's installment loans. If you reject it again, you receive a payday loan. You also ask a debt question on the offer. You then also receive a credit card offer and then, if you're declining for that, we provide you another alternative financial offer. So we have an offer that's converted about 85% Pays up to 265 bucks. We're always looking for traffic 24 hours a day. We'll take all 50 states. Of course, new York. We cannot get a loan, so it doesn't pay as much, but it does still, we can still monetize it for you. So if you have traffic in off states or you are buying traffic but you have other states you can't utilize, we can take that off your hands. Furthermore, we're always here to help you build and create your own site. So if you have any kind of opportunities, you're looking to change your site, we can help you do that.
Speaker 1:What's popping off? You named a few of them. It sounds like it doesn't matter which is the hottest one, but you get them in the funnel and then you give them those six offers and one of them hits right, and that's how we get 85% and more than one candidate. So you can get a credit card offer and you receive an alternative decline offer. We can click debt and go through as well. Furthermore, if you are doing debt and you're in payday or you have API, I am paying out probably around $450,000 a month in debt and chaos. Trust me, trust me. Trust me. It ain't as sexy as everybody else wants to make it, but I'm paying it, I'm paying it out, and you know you're talking five million a year, just a debt. We ain't even talking about payday. Out of all those, what's the hottest right now debt. Yeah, yeah, wait, with debt settlement. Yeah, it's gonna be credit card and debt settlement, but we utilize the system. That's that's.
Speaker 1:We have exclusive contracts with guys that know helps allow us to pay out more to. You know our people. Most guys say they have debt leads or this or that, but they're not using math. Right, that's the thing about it, which is math. You know, if you're, if your office, converting that, if you get payouts 40 bucks, it's converting that 5%. That means your EPC is going to be $2 or EPL is going to be $2. I can pay you the same thing. You know it's the same exact payout. Debt's growing technically because we're doing it safer than other things. Right, you know, a lot of guys are doing these other new offers to the sexy offers. They're just trying to run to the money. We're trying to make sure the consumers protect it the most. So it's growing under us even faster because we are getting more clients that way. Us even faster, because we are getting more clients that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can tell you what you I've known you guys for like five, six years. You guys are consistent, right, I've seen other companies do similar stuff. They're here today, gone tomorrow, maybe one, two year, three year run, I think, because they didn't do the right thing by the time they were, and you guys had, exactly, and we had to. That's why we have to wait around. We can't directional things. You know, we've been around. I've been doing this for 15 years. I've been with Roundstaff for 15 years, mark has been with me for 11 years and the company will be 20 years old next year. Yeah, no, that's, it comes out of consistency.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:My hair's too big for this. You're going to be good man. No, yeah, weathering the test of time, and I got into this industry back in 2017, 2016,. A lot of people, most of the people that I had the first show I went to they're not there anymore. I mean, 90% are gone. So it comes out of weather to test the time it's not easy either.
Speaker 2:A lot of flip-ups and downs.
Speaker 1:It's actually I tell everybody, independent like you, man, when I see you the next year, I always say to you directly hey, because, like you said, a lot of guys come and go and these guys, you know, they come in big rolex, big chains, you know, with spits of shoes, and now you see them next time you're like, uh, why you want a t-shirt dog, no matter what you got going on. Yeah, yeah, no, that happens, man, you gotta do this and there's ups and downs. You guys take it since, but I think, being in verticals, that, like you said, america's the american way is fucking buying shit, purchasing. It's in your face nonstop Instagram, social media, tiktok. You see this guy with that, that girl with this, the wife wants it, they want it, bam, it's just what it is, yeah, yeah, and no matter what you got to finance it. So you know, and, like I said, the best thing is the craziest thing about America, especially during COVID. Right, you would think during COVID, everybody's getting their free money to stay home. They were getting those checks. You'd think it'd be a lot of new millionaires from investing that money they were getting for free. No, the amount of visitors to Vegas did not increase exponentially during COVID, because most people were getting the free money and just flying out and throwing it in the air. You know it's not my fault, you know Well somebody's. I won't say it up, no, I get more. It is what it is at the end of the day. Right, people are signing up for it and you guys helping. So, yeah, what's your ideal, your ideal partner in this, in terms of if you mentioned super fully it's like, what are they currently running or what's the best?
Speaker 1:Am looking for an ROI return under a business model. A lot of guys tell you oh, man, pay me this, pay me that. Hey, man, I can pay you that, but I can't pay that a thousand times. You know, let's be fair. But if you need to make, if you need a CPC offer and you want, we can talk about it. On an average, around 40 cents, but we can do that and scale it to five to 10,000 a day. You heard what I say. So if you got this far, this video, cbc offer, look me up, rally for on telegram and teams stats, the rockstar Instagram. Trust me on that one. Yeah, we'll put the link for them to find you guys as well and get involved. So, what's the highest.
Speaker 1:You mentioned near a half a million dollars in payouts, what's the most an affiliates made work on you guys in a month or a year or like whatever you want to say. It's like get, get the credit side. I got to be careful, man, but uh, I got. I got a couple of guys that are probably doing about um 12 to 15,000 a day a day, and not one, two or three, about five guys that make that much. You know, um, it definitely varies. On other days Some guys make 10,000 a day, 7,000 next day, but along with debt, you know my top guy, I'm probably paying him out. Uh, and let me guess on my head, 108, it take. Let me see 15 by five was 75. So that's 300, 300 for about 445 a month and that's my top guy. But you know they all they come and go and that guy and that guy and for the record, that guy started with me with $800 a day in sales and now he's core 50 a month. That's crazy, it's possible. It's possible. What do you think made him or that person? Why was he able to grow so rapidly or so? What? What was the like inside scoop there that may separated him versus everybody else who's not able to do it or fails. You know what? To be direct with you.
Speaker 1:Um, one of the things that we do best is that we make tailored solutions for anybody. You know a lot of guys who want to be on top and they want the sexiest number, the biggest number. We do good on API, from 35 on down, 60 on down price reject. A lot of guys want the highest numbers. They want to do all this stuff to make the most money. I'm here to make a tailored solution to help you out. I'm not here to try to make the most money. It's called agency theory, right? I don't get paid. Unless you get paid, there's no purpose on me trying to run up the margins on you. Run you out the room, make a couple bucks today and then come back tomorrow and or and or not. Create a tailored solution for you that works for your company. Because if you need a dollar EPC and I'm providing you 99 cents, you're not making money, but in those moments maybe I pay you $1.25. I lose money, but we scale it to $5,000. That way, we can all win together.
Speaker 1:So is WebLeads mainly where you're taking it, or you're doing it for all of WebLeads? No only online. Only online. Even with our debt liens, it's going to come through API and with our debt liens, it's going to come through API and with the debt lease it does not hurt the flow. So if you do pay it out, you have API. Our debt lease did not hurt your flow. They receive a delayed reply. They receive a phone call after 30 minutes after they complete the form. So therefore, they have to complete the form and if they are accepted and they get a loan, it's not going to interrupt the loan or hurt the lender. Furthermore, our debt leads usually pay out. You know, anywhere from $2 down to about 60 cents, depends, on the quality.
Speaker 1:I love this shit man. I love you David. God damn it. You're the fucking coolest guy here. I don't care what anybody says I mean. The main thing about you, bro, is that you're really you every fucking second.
Speaker 1:A lot of these guys want to be something else, don't want to be somebody else. I never seen you try to be anything more than you, man. Even you know I mean this the way I'm saying it when I met you, you know life was slightly different for you, but you've never been any fucking different ever. Ever Must be up top in that VIP in Bangkok that's drinking beers and hanging out the corner braider. You're the same fucking guy, bro, and I never forget that. That's why I always rock with you. I appreciate that that means a lot to me.
Speaker 1:Listen, at the end of the day, whatever fucking business you're in, it could be lead business, it could be a fucking mechanic, anything man. You'd be delivering babies to relationship business, how you treat people right, and if you're going to be the best, it doesn't matter what you do. If you want to get paid and get rich, you gotta be the best of whatever it is. But it's flipping burgers, being mechanic or doing lead generation. So, bro, there go. You. Remind me of something we, uh we had. Breakfast was deluxe in in vegas. Yeah, that was a great, let's talk about that, guys. Grand lunch, great place.
Speaker 2:Well, casino's out in venetian, venetian you've seen up on my arms, you can see it. Right, you work there.
Speaker 1:Right, you were yeah, but you, it's crazy. It's like how long you were here 10 years ago, 15 years ago uh, no, I'm old now, bro. 20 years ago, wow, people still remembered you, man, and that goes, that shows the testament as to how well you treated them. Yeah, that they still, and they lit up when they saw you. Yeah, it says a lot and I couldn't believe it. They're like yo, you're a big-time president.
Speaker 1:Now we heard, we watched your story, like but I was in college and I was grinding out, bro, and I had to get. You know, you gotta do what you gotta do, but you have to be true to yourself, man, because at the end of the day, in the day, man, you got to be cool with who you are. I don't want to get all sentimental, but you know, sometimes, bro, these guys want to be somebody else. I'd rather be me. I mean, you know, it's kind of cool some days, but some days it's kind of tough too. No, but you are, listen, you are consistent. I think that's what you say is consistency when it comes out. Be that consistent, true to yourself, yeah, because you got to stand your own lane. This lane is not this lane, bro, it's just how it is, I'm not even, I can't compete with you, and it's not about that, because this is my lane. I'm over here.
Speaker 2:Correct, you know.
Speaker 1:The last couple of years have been crazy. We were crushing it with solar, yeah Right, and then solar just went to shit. We tried this vertical, that vertical. We tried some insurance, had some good months, but lego fucking shores. We had to double down on the homeowner. That's what we're good at, right. We tried doing some stuff in debt. I'm like, bro, it's not gonna work out. We really tried with. Yeah, we got legal on the wall. Yeah, you have to stay true to yourself because if not you chase shit and you're not gonna make money. You got every cent. You got limited time to the best of the ability yeah sure, and that's exactly how we got.
Speaker 1:I got to beretta, right, yeah which I.
Speaker 1:Pareto, right, yeah, which I could never freaking say unless you said first, pareto, pareto. Half the time I say it wrong too, yeah, but you know, david speaks the Spanish layers. It's insane, it's like he's like remember the fucking when you walked in with your crazy hat that was going to get to that? Oh dog, yeah, sorry to add to my debt and set it up and they were welcoming me with open arms, had a celebration for me that I'll never forget Walked in and shot a freaking cannon of confetti in my face. I'm like yo, what the fuck is this? But we had a good time.
Speaker 1:But the point was it wasn't that we weren't trying, it didn't work, it didn't work. We both stayed in our lanes. We didn't take offense to it, we both tried. We went through our points, we went to legal my legal said this, your legal said that and we just all right, man, we tried. Yeah, we're cool, we're kosher with it, right, it was like you know, fuck you, whatever, we tried and we know that it'll lead to something else down the road. It's so cool. And then that gave an opportunity yesterday. We just talked about that.
Speaker 2:I got something's gonna be fucking fire. Can't wait, let's fucking go, literally going to do that.
Speaker 1:One last thing I want to talk about. It's funny because I just had Rita from EDM on here and we were talking about he was Tom Brady's personal trader. Yeah, he worked with the Patriots.
Speaker 1:So he's the one that got him divorced. I'm not sure he knows a little bit about it. Yes, you got it. Funny, my kid goes I got a little nervous, bro. Bro, listen, listen, go in there. Listen, you're in Florida, right, yeah, I'm in Florida. You tool up and you walk in there. You just, you know, you do that. You do the ice cubes. You hold your hand there and you just go what Huh, you got a problem. And then you just walk out. Do that twice, so things to notice.
Speaker 1:We talk about the mentality right of Rodney Harris and Tom Brady he talked about. They were just so committed, they were obsessed with being the best. You go to a lot of WNBA games. You have that courtside seat. I was seeing you, man. I mean, where does that come from? What's the fascination with that? And you're like really avid about it and what does that tell you? I am actually Because you're giving away a game, true, you know it is. It's like yo, you've got to, just you got to. I have 19 people that look up to me. They might not see the way I see it, but I can't let them down. So I have to work out, I have to read, I have to wake up early morning.
Speaker 1:I missed two days of work 15 years, two days. I threw my back out. I came to the office with a bottle of whiskey in my hand and said, hey, I made it to the Monday meeting. Just remember, I never missed a Monday meeting. And they were like yo, you should go to the hospital. Remember when I was at ASW and I had my face swollen. I got stung by freaking B. My whole head was swollen. I had glasses on and they were like yo, why are you here? I was like because I'll never let you down, bro, because I'll never quit, I'll never let you down. It's the first time I sat down on 15 years of these trade shows, ever, no, no, sorry, I take that back. I sat on like four times, like for 10 seconds, you know, but in between, but I'll never let my guys down, never.
Speaker 1:And I think it's that thing where you realize that the world not depends on you, but you know, you have to be the one that wins the game for everybody, and it's just what it is. I mean, it's not like you. Just you end up in this spot, man. But you now, when you're in this spot, what are you going to do? Fail, what do you do? Quit what do you do? Fold? You got a beautiful family. A lot of people are looking on you, man. You got a whole media team. What are you going to going? We have to. Let's fucking go. We gotta keep screaming it. That's what it is. It's not that I want. You know.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to say I love the w and way. Plus, hey, shout out to asia bill saying uh, you know, hey, alicia clark, if you're seeing this girl, it's seriously. I'm telling you, they come back home. I love it. No, it's great to see, right, and I think your social media is great, man.
