MFREE 107 Trailer # 3 with Ashley Garner: Are Investors Betting on the Deal... or Just Betting on You?

In this episode, Ashley Garner keeps it honest about what really drives investor confidence—and it’s not just a sharp-looking spreadsheet.

It’s trust.

Ashley shares how relationships—new or old—are the foundation of everything he does. For him, it's not just about presenting a solid deal. It's about being the kind of person people want to invest with.

He’s had investors who run every formula twice... and others who say, “I'm in because it's you.” That kind of trust is earned—and it carries weight.

This episode hits home for anyone who’s ever been responsible for someone else’s money, and who knows that character, consistency, and follow-through matter more than hype.

🎯 Relationships over returns (but returns still count)

🎯 Trust is built long before the pitch

🎯 The real ROI starts with reputation

I'm a big relationship guy. I want them to trust me. And so if it's people that I already know, I need to. Share all the details so that they trust me and trust my knowledge of this business. And they invest with me. But if it's people that I don't know yet, I'm just now meeting, I've gotta get to know them and, there's various ways to do that through technology or like we're doing right here. I'm in North Carolina, you're in Hawaii and we're getting to know each other. So it doesn't always have to be like sitting down for coffee. But it's a relationship thing and it's a trust thing. I've had investors that will tear apart a spreadsheet and analyze every, question my formula and my math on everything. And then I've had more commonly though, I have people say, Hey Ash, that's great. It looks good. I'm only doing this because of you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be doing this. That's great, but it's also a lot of responsibility on me because they're saying, man, this guy trusts me like with all his money, and I don't wanna screw it up. So I think it's that. I think it's like know that the sponsor, know their track record, know that they have experience doing something. Know that they know what they're talking about and that you trust their ability To ride this thing out through ups and downs.'cause there's always gonna be ups and downs and we're not gonna quit till we get it done. We're not quitting here. Yeah. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Don't quit, don't die. That's right.
