Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Money Mondays. I am here with a special guest, a special friend of mine. She is an investor in over 100 companies. Let me repeat, over 100 companies. That is hard to grasp. I always talk about I'm an investor in 43 companies.

That is more than double what I've invested into and we're racing with each other because she's still investing left and right into companies. She's also the co-founder in a company called Juni, which we will get into with her. She founded it with Jay Shetty, one of our obviously the biggest influencers ever.

on social media that's been spreading the good word and positive information, which is what I like because he spreads positivity across social media. And she had an exit and then she had another exit. She got all these different companies going on. So there's lots to dive into. But as you guys know, we cover three core topics, how to make money and invest money, how to give it away to charity.

All these episodes range from 32 to 38 minutes for your listening pleasure because the average workout is 45 minutes. The average commute to work is 45 minutes. So this episode will be less than 38 minutes. So you can listen to the whole thing in one shot. Why did I say that? We have a 93% listen through rate, which keeps us in the top 10 of the podcast charts because of you guys.

listening, sharing, commenting, subscribing, and all that. So we thank you for that. We've kept this thing ad-free for over 115 episodes for you. This is a free shout out to Junie. And so right off the gate, if we could, please, Kim Perel, give us a quick two-minute bio so we can get straight to the money.

That's awesome. Okay so on the make money side Why do you think it's important for entrepreneurs starting a company to make some money first before they ask investors for a check?

Right. So the way I describe it is prove that someone cares. People vote with their wallets. And will it sell in the wild? Meaning, will this product, Junie, sell without Jay Shetty, without his wife, without Kim Perel? Will it sell on the shelf by itself when no one's around to talk about it?

And if it does, because they see the color or the name and then they taste the flavor and now they're addicted, that is investable, right? Proving that someone cares and it can sell when no one's around.

The best thing that could happen is someone buys and has no idea who you are and has no idea who Jay is and has no idea. They just like it. They see it. That's when you become $300 million, $500 million, $1 billion, $2 billion, $3 billion. We've seen some major exits recently, like some humongous $1.9 billion for another drink recently to Pepsi. There's some wild stuff happening.
