About the Show:
The Capital Flow Podcast helps capital raisers and fund managers create momentum in their capital, business, and life. Host Dallon Schultz interviews real capital raisers and experts who’ve built systems that attract resources—instead of chasing them.

Episode Summary:
In this special episode, Dallon Schultz and Paul Kartchner tackle the 20 most common questions they get from capital raisers in workshops, coaching calls, and the Capitallyst Pro community. This isn’t a guest interview—it’s a candid breakdown of the real issues operators face: trust-building, investor communication, automation, follow-up, and the emotional toll of raising capital.

They explain why many capital raisers focus too much on the money, how to improve email deliverability, and what makes strong investor relationships stand out. They also share personal stories—from lost investors due to poor follow-up to workflows that changed everything. You'll hear specific tools, frameworks, and automation strategies that let you nurture relationships at scale—without losing the personal touch.

If you're looking to attract better investors, save 10+ hours a week, and raise capital with more clarity and confidence, this one’s for you.
