7FF 791: He Started with Nothing—Now He’s Raised $400K+ Private Capital

May 29, 2025

About This Episode

This guy had every reason to quit.

He didn’t grow up with a silver spoon.

He didn’t have a network.

He didn’t even have stability.

Dairius Kawewehi spent most of his childhood in the foster care system. 

Then he joined the Navy—launching jets off aircraft carriers in one of the most high-pressure, dangerous jobs in the military.

That’s where he learned structure. Discipline. How to show up when it’s hard.

It rewired his mindset—and gave him the grit he’d need for what came next.

Because now?

He’s building a real estate business and raising serious capital.

He’s already raised over $400,000.

And he’s just getting started.

He found a way to channel pain into purpose.

And it’s not what you're expecting…

Dairius didn’t wait until he “had it all figured out.”

He didn’t let anything stop him.

He joined us for the Flip Funding Challenge, saw the power of the 7 Figure Runway community, and plugged himself into a system and community.
