Video coming soon… play for some nice music 🙂
Invest in You is a global podcast where Fredrik Sandvall shares ideas and conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and operators. The show explores investing, entrepreneurship, AI, and personal development with a focus on long-term value, ownership, and clear decision-making.
Occasionally joined by his sons, Charlie and Ivan, the podcast blends experience with a next-generation perspective. The goal is simple: help you think better, act with intent, and build a life and portfolio that compound over time.
In a digital landscape dominated by AI and shallow social metrics, real human connection has become a rare and powerful currency. David Homan joins the show to explain why “group intros” don’t exist and why every massive impact begins with reaching just one person individually. We dive into the five principles of building deep trust, starting with the audacity to be vulnerable and the curiosity to truly see others.
David shares raw stories of balancing professional success—like becoming a best-selling author—with personal loss, and how a high-trust network is the only thing that holds steady when life falls apart. We explore how to filter out “takers,” why you should value “access” over “opportunity,” and how simple acts of gratitude can bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Whether you’re a founder feeling isolated or an executive looking to deepen your impact, this conversation is a masterclass in investing in the relationships that actually matter.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Vulnerability Filter: Being vulnerable and curious filters out “takers” and increases meaningful engagement from 30% to 90%.
No Such Thing as Scale: You don’t affect a mass of people; you reach one person at a time, even if you do it a thousand times over.
Trust vs. Being Known: Being “known” is just visible recognition; being “trusted” means you are valued in rooms you haven’t even entered yet.
Diverse Networks Win: Life gets smaller when you only meet people who look and talk like you; a strong network requires bridging into diverse worlds.
The “Honoring the Chain” Practice: Building a community starts with expressing gratitude to those who helped you get where you are without asking for anything in return.
