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 Ben Vega, Executive Director of the Arizona Fund Manager Association (AFMA), to explore the real currency of capital raising—human connection. With a diverse background that includes real estate syndications and nonprofit capital campaigns, Ben shares how he learned to raise 6- and 7-figure gifts by leading with value and building trust without expectations. You’ll hear how AFMA is connecting fund managers, family offices, and allocators to reshape Arizona into a national investment hub. Ben also reveals the vision behind AFMA’s LIFT AZ conference and how it's designed to foster real connections—not just panels and pitch decks. If you’re a fund manager looking to grow your influence, attract aligned capital, and plug into a supportive ecosystem, this conversation is a must-listen.
