What if your biggest disadvantage could become your greatest edge? In this powerful episode of That’s Total Mom Sense, I sit down with venture capitalist, author, and founder of Backstage Capital, Arlan Hamilton, who went from sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport to building a multimillion-dollar fund investing in underestimated founders. With no degree, no connections, and no traditional path into Silicon Valley, Arlan rewrote the rules—and is now helping others do the same. We talk about: The mindset shift that can change your financial future Why “you only need one yes” is more powerful than you think How to build wealth without privilege or access What every parent should teach their kids about money and resourcefulness Why who gets funded can change the world This is a conversation about grit, vision, and redefining what’s possible—not just for yourself, but for generations to come.
