He explains why retail investors often behave like long-term institutions, creating a powerful shareholder base that is loyal, engaged, and emotionally invested in a company’s success. Darren highlights how this model not only provides entrepreneurs with capital but also converts everyday customers into brand advocates who increase lifetime value, resist competitors, and amplify growth. He also shares why this approach challenges traditional venture capital models and opens new doors for founders ready to scale. ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/DbQROs6Ic5g Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/darren-marble-co-founder-ceo-of-crush-capital/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5SfnIzQg8vptAby9vMD4rx ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
