Listen "Jimmy Rios | Funding, Risk Mitigation & Real Returns"

Episode Synopsis

When banks say no, how do entrepreneurs still grow? Jimmy Rios founder of Rios Business Funding and CEO of Rios Business Advisors breaks down the difference between productive vs. destructive debt, how to use arbitrage (think hard-money vs. high-velocity returns) to your advantage, and why diversification matters when markets swing. We dig into insuring collateral, building real business credit (not just personal guarantees), and creating systems so you stop being the “glorified job owner” and start scaling like a business. Jimmy also shares how his team uses AI from research to underwriting to reduce risk and move faster, plus the hard lessons (bankruptcy, burnout, rebuilding) that shaped his “partner in progress” approach. If you’re an investor, founder, or first-time buyer trying to make money work this one’s a blueprint.Connect with Jimmy: https://riosbusinessfunding.com
