Candid Chat with Carrie: Venture Capital 101

August 14, 2026. Carrie hosted a Candid Chat seminar for the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players, Inc. at the Houston Marriott Sugar Land during their 2026 National Conference.

What an honor to speak to the Mothers of Professional Basketball Players.

Grounded in the conference theme, “Passing the Torch: A Legacy of Leaders,” our session focused on building generational wealth through smart investments.

Together, we tackled key financial strategy topics, including:

• 💡 Demystifying Private Equity: What it is & how to evaluate deals

• 📈 Navigating Investments: Funding stages, deal cycles & ROI expectations

• ⏳ Core Fundamentals: Mastering the time value of money

  
  

We wrapped up with a candid conversation on trust, lessons learned from investing in personal and outside ventures, and strategies for navigating difficult family-and-financial discussions.

The energy in the room was incredible—these women were highly engaged, asking sharp questions, and generously sharing their own experiences to enrich the dialogue. Grateful for the opportunity to help build legacies that last! 🏀✨
