Business Confidential Now with Hanna Hasl-Kelchner

BE FUNDABLE
If you want your business to be fundable, to have ready access to money when you need it, there are certain things you need to do.
What are they? (Just in case you ever DO need money from outside sources . . . because believe me that’s NOT the time to find you’re not fundable.)
Luckily, today’s guest, Merrill Chandler is an expert in the field and he explains why your credit score is NOT the key to fundability and what you really need to do to be fundable.
What You’ll Discover About How to Be Fundable:
What it means to be fundable
Why your credit score is useless until your loan is approved
The most important borrow behaviors lenders review
4 Lender tiers and how the impact fundability
Why retail store credit inquiries hurt overall fundability
6 Key borrow behaviors that determine fundability
How check guarantee credit lines can hurt fundability
The 5 characteristics each borrow behavior is graded by
And much MORE
Guest: Merrill Chandler
Over 25 years ago, Merrill Chandler—a personal and business credit pioneer and co-founder of Lexington Law Firm—became dissatisfied with the ineffective results his clients were getting from credit repair.
Leveraging his extensive knowledge of borrower behavior profiles, FICO® scoring metrics, and lender underwriting requirements, he developed a process that could ‘optimize’ a consumer’s borrower behavior AND improve a borrower’s “fundability.”
He and his partners founded The Fundability Movement and GetFundable.com to deliver this revolutionary technology to real estate investors, business owners, and entrepreneurs nationwide.
Merrill has helped thousands of borrowers become more FUNDABLE and helped them access the capital they need to fulfill their financial dreams.

Simple Ways to Remarkably Reduce Racial Bias in the Workplace with Daralyse Lyons
Business Confidential Now with Hanna Hasl-Kelchner
11/16/23 • 29 min
Racial bias in the workplace is an open secret to those who experience it and a symptom of willful blindness to those who inflict it.
It’s a serious problem and Daralyse Lyons is an activist who works tirelessly to shine a spotlight on these issues and offer solutions on how to fix it.
What You’ll Discover About Racial Bias in the Workplace:
What most people fail to grasp about diversity
How to calm fears about diversity in the workplace
What it means to “do the work in a meaningful way”
How experiencing racial bias in the workplace is multilayered

Proactive steps employers can take to reduce racial bias in the workplace
The role of microaggressions in contributing to racial bias in the workplace

And MUCH more.
Guest: Daralyse Lyons
Daralyse Lyons, aka the Transformational Storyteller, is a journalist, an actor, and an activist. She has written more than two dozen full-length books, a handful of short stories, and countless articles, performed in various plays and in improv comedy shows.
A member of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and a summa cum laude graduate of NYU, with a double-major in English and Religious Studies and a minor in History, she is passionate about exposing the painful side of history, the side that is not written by oppressors. Through her studies, she has come to see the beautiful and overlapping philosophies of Judaism, Islam and Christianity and wonders why people so often use religion as a battering ram, instead of a source of solace and support.
As a Biracial woman, she has made it her mission to stand for a more integrated world. As a sexually fluid person who has had relationships and experiences with both men and women, she has had to find her place amidst a multitude of communities that attempt to erase her orientation and has been a voice within the darkness.
After writing an award-winning children’s book (I’m Mixed!) about embracing her multiethnic heritage, Daralyse found her passion and her purpose educating others about the need to embrace all aspects of themselves. Since then, she has written and spoken extensively on the subject of diversity. Her perspective is one that looks to acknowledge the past while refusing to become incapacitated by it. As a Biracial, multiethnic and sexually fluid woman, she is uniquely empowered to use her seemingly disparate background as a catalyst for cross-cultural understanding.
