The Capital Flow Podcast helps capital raisers and fund managers create flow in their capital, business, and life by learning from those who’ve built systems that attract resources instead of chasing them. Each week, host Dallon Schultz interviews real capital raisers and industry experts who share the strategies, systems, and stories behind raising millions with trust-based relationships.

In this episode, Dallon sits down with Gino Barbaro—real estate investor, coach, author, and co-founder of Jake & Gino—to explore the deeply personal and often overlooked mindset behind raising capital. Gino shares his journey from pizza shop owner to owning over 1,800 units and launching a real estate education company that has helped others raise over $750 million. They dive into the concept of “Happy Money,” how your upbringing shapes your financial blueprint, and how limiting beliefs may be blocking you from raising capital effectively. Whether you're a seasoned capital raiser or just starting out, this episode will challenge you to reexamine your relationship with money and equip you with the clarity and confidence to attract—not chase—capital.

Key Takeaways

  • Your early money mindset—often shaped in childhood—can attract or repel investors. Rewriting your internal money story is key to success.
  • To raise capital, you must first become the investor in identity and mindset, even before you feel ready.
  • “Happy Money” flows from alignment, mutual value, and positive energy. It attracts long-term investor relationships, not just transactions.
  • Real estate is a legacy-building vehicle—but trust, clarity, systems, and values matter more than returns when it comes to raising capital.
