Jason sits down with fellow founders, investors, and operators who have weathered the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and kept going.
Whether you're in the trenches or dreaming of your first big leap, Hunt Gather Nurture offers honest conversations, practical insights, and real encouragement for anyone building something that matters.

Fundraising in a Post Covid World
This episode is everything I wish more founders knew about fundraising—from why net sales matter more than gross to how valuations are actually shaped (spoiler: it’s not just about your revenue multiple). We talk about the mindset it takes to build a brand that lasts, how to stay focused when the market is noisy, and why so many founders get stuck chasing exits instead of building businesses.
Whether you’re getting ready to raise or still in the messy middle, Rodney brings two decades of honest, no-BS insight. This conversation is one I wish I had ten years ago—and I think a lot of founders will feel the same.
