424: From $10M Founder to Bankruptcy to Breakthrough | with Neal Thakkar

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU WANT A RAW CONVERSATION AROUND SUCCESS & BUSINESS FUNDING Today I’m joined by Neal Thakkar, founder of Integrity First Funding. Neal’s story is a modern comeback in motion. From addiction, to building an $11M supplement business, to bankruptcy… and then rebuilding from the ground up. Within six months, he launched a fast-scaling seven-figure financial services company that helps founders access 0% interest capital so they can create real runway, make smarter decisions, and grow without sacrificing ownership. Neal leads with both strategy and empathy because he’s lived both sides of the money conversation. The highs, the pressure, the collapse, and the rebuild. And in this episode, we’re talking about financing in a way we haven’t on the Business Growth Podcast yet: what funding actually looks like in real life, how to think about debt without fear (or ego), and how to use capital as a tool…not a trap. In this episode: Neal’s full story: from $11M in sales to bankruptcy and what actually caused it When debt is smart and when it quietly becomes the thing that breaks you The red flags to watch for with working capital + daily repayment loans The real difference between interest rates vs. payback terms (and why most people focus on the wrong thing) The “money is the bottleneck” checkpoint: how to know when it’s time to explore financing Why 0% interest capital isn’t “too good to be true” and what it actually looks like behind the scenes How Integrity First Funding helps founders become more lendable + access better options Money as an amplifier: why wealth doesn’t change you, it reveals you Connect with Neal: Instagram:   / neal.thakkar.official   📌 Have a question you want featured next time?
