Welcome back, screamers. On today's show: more of the early-Alts with Altman's take on the private eye (and we mean the private eye: Marlowe) The Long Goodbye. It's a shaggy, laconic tale of friendship, deception, and a man out of time and place. We also wonder what it would be like to be drug lords...but, you know, altruistic drug lords.   Support Why Does the Wilhelm Scream Keep in touch and read more at whydoesthewilhelmscream.com on instagram and threads @whydoesthewilhelmpod  Find out more about upcoming Fort Worth Film Club screenings and events at fortworthfilmclub.com and @fortworthfilm Support the next generation of film lovers at reelhousefoundation.org and on facebook reelhousefoundation Artwork by @_mosla_

Sundhed handler ikke bare om at undgå sygdom. Verdenssundhedsorganisationen WHO definerer sundhed som en tilstand af fysisk, mentalt og socialt velvære. Altså ikke udelukkende fravær af skavanker og diagnoser. I dag har stress og mistrivsel sneget sig ind på mange arbejdspladser. Og det er altså langt fra alle, der vil sige, at de har et sundt arbejdsliv. Men hvad kan vi gøre ved det, og hvordan kommer vi tilbage på sporet? Det taler vi med psykolog og underviser, Ebbe Lavendt, om i dette afsnit af TI Pod. God fornøjelse. Gæst: Ebbe Lavendt Vært: Anette Lilleøre

Konspirationsteorien QAnon har jo haft ret hele tiden. Sådan har det lydt fra flere sider efter offentliggørelsen af de seneste Epstein-filer. Altså konspirationen om, at en hemmelig kreds af magtfulde pædofile i eliten har udnyttet mindreårige til sadistiske og seksuelle formål og har holdt hånden over hinanden.Men selvom Epstein-filerne måske beskriver en magtfuld elite, som i et vist omfang har hjulpet hinanden, så er det helt forkert at tænke, at QAnon havde ret. Det mener Line Nybro Petersen, der har forsket i konspirationsteorier og QAnon.

Send a textKristin Olson, Goldman Sachs' Head of Alternatives for Wealth and Asset and Wealth Management, sits down with us for the most candid, no-fluff conversation about private equity and private credit we've ever had. .She walks us through the very real benefits of investing in private capital while also answering the cynical questions: do “retail” investors in private equity products like evergreen funds and perpetual funds get the A-team investors? Are those structures getting the best deals? How do the fees compare to the fees on products for institutional investors? Plus, If more buyers flood the market, does that push prices up and compress returns? Kristin breaks down for us how this whole ecosystem actually works, she discusses the biggest shift in private markets right now, and the pros and cons of newer structures that aim to make private assets feel more like “normal investing.” Finally, we go deep on what investors should actually ask before putting money into private equity and private credit. Kristin talks us through how fees can be misleading, when carry is taken, hurdle rates, gating/redemptions, and what “liquidity” really means when markets get stressed. This is an episode every investor should listen to before putting private capital into their portfolio.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Visit https://iconnections.io/ to learn more about iConnections!Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Bli med backstage før Gluecifer-konsert i Köln og møt Rolf Yngve Uggen aka Raldo Useless. Altså, her er det historier fra Turbonegros første turné i USA med soving i jordkjellere og totalt kaos og den vakre beretningen om scandirockens tilblivelse på 90-tallet. Og Maiden? Jadda, mer Maiden enn man skulle tro. Det er jo en gammal platesjappe-ansatt vi snakker med her!I tillegg til albumaktuelle Gluecifer og tidlig Turboneger er Rolf Yngve kjent fra band som Astroburger, The Lust-O-Rama, Kung Fu Girls m.fl. Han har også spilt med Stein Torleif Bjella og jobber vanligvis på Nasjonalmuseet i Oslo.

Statsminister Keir Starmer har fått kritikk på hjemmebane for å være for mye på utebane. Altså, at Labour-regjeringen prioriterer for mye utenrikspolitikk på bekostning av innenrikspolitikken og de valgløftene som Labour ga i 2024. Men ser ikke velgere sammenhengen mellom utenriks- og innenrikspolitikk? Eller er regjeringen for dårlig til å kommunisere dette? Eller handler det om andre forhold, for eksempel tiden vi lever i.Hør refleksjonene og diskusjonene mellom Øivind Bratberg og Erik Mustad i denne episoden av Pod Britannia.

Mikkel Bjørn fra Dansk Folkeparti vil stramme skruen for adgangen til, hvem der kan blive “En af os” – titlen på hans nye bog om statsborgerskab.Han har allerede rykket hegnspælene for debatten i retning af mere kontrol og sindelagssamtaler. Altså udover de krav til bl.a. sprog, ophold, job, et troskabsløfte og indfødsretstesten, som ansøgerne allerede skal igennem. Men det er ikke nok. Mikkel Bjørn vil have gennemført flere samtaler med ansøgere.Han skriver om ikke at miste »forbindelseslinjen til fortidens generationer. Den usynlige linje, der løber gennem slægtleddene og holder folket forankret i sin egen historie.«Hvad mener han med det – og hvordan vil han gennemskue det i hundredvis af samtaler, uden at det bliver et bureaukratisk spild af tid?

Born out of the 2020 lockdowns, Alts.co has grown into a unique platform offering access to unconventional asset classes, including tequila barrels, sports ventures, and K-pop music rights. But how do you promote alternative investments like these without getting lost in the hype?A conversation with Stefan von Imhof, CEO of Alts.co.We covered:* How to deal with the fact that you can't be an expert in everything* The power of community and decentralized due diligence* The right risk-return profile for Alts offeringWatch it on YouTube or listen on all podcast apps.A few quotes from our conversationTrust vs Fun Trust is earned slowly but surely, and you can lose it like that if you're not careful. But that's why we're careful. And so, it feels good. It feels really good to bring great deals to the community. And yeah, if we have stories to tell on top of it, fantastic.I've asked Stefan a few questions about what I call “investing beyond returns”, because investing is not multi-dimensional; topics for dinner conversation, status, learning, etc., all matter. But it turns out that the answer is more boring than I was hoping. Returns matter more than anything else, and trust is built on returns.That Tequila TripWe've been to Mexico twice now. We've been working with our tequila dealer, and yes, he's as cool as he sounds, but we've been working with Miguel for about a year before this. And then as we matured as a company and realized tequila really is a great investment. It has all the same appreciation as wine and whiskey, without the wait. Tequila goes from Blanco to Reposado, to Anejo, to extra Anejo in three and a half years, and you're out. I was a bit obsessed about something that sounded too much fun to be a sound investment: a tequila tasting and investing trip to Mexico. It turns out that meeting people, visiting locations, are just a normal part of a thorough due diligence, a topic that kept coming back in the conversation.The Right Risk-Profile It's tough to get our community excited for anything under like 12%, roughly. I would say the sweet spot is like 13 to 18%. The area above 20%, people just start   getting skeptical.  It sounds like b******t.And then it's got to have downside protection.Stefan also added that they don't offer startup investments and avoid Equity risk for the same reason. This brought me back to the issue I expressed with YieldStreet Willow Wealth: the most toxic offering for retail investors is a high headline yield, combined with a high level of risk (such as equity tranches) hidden in the footnotes.

Welcome to a new series of skeptic snippets about invetsment management and its marketingTranscript[00:00:26] George: Hi Tim today. We're gonna talk about Goldman Sachs Asset Management, insights or research report. We'll see what we should call it.New economics of retirement, with a subtitle. New solutions provide a ray of hope, so can you tell us what it's about?[00:00:48] Tim: It covers a couple issues, but there's a central issue that that I found interesting, which was the discussion of how alternative investments, so anything, basically not a stock or bond, if included in a, retirement plans, specifically a target date fund, which is commonly used in the us can basically provide a higher return.For investors.[00:01:12] George: So I see that the ray of hope is the inclusion of alts, which will boost performance by 50 bps and therefore increase the final pot for pensioners by something like 14%.So what's not to love about that?[00:01:27] Tim: There's nothing not to love about that. The question of course is what sort of assumptions underpin that expected result? What I've noticed and seen and is evident is that the typical return from alternative investing. Isn't as good as people think it is. And often the results, if you look at this, the full spectrum of results, often the results are much worse. So there's a, what they call a big dispersion, a big variance in the best results to the worst results.And so the way that a firm that is selling alts can address this is to simply assume as Goldman does, that they only pick above average managers. And since this is like a 40 year projection, that they do it successfully over 40 years, which is quite a lot to assume[00:02:20] George: But seeing anything from Goldman Sachs, I believe this is gonna be a very serious publication.And therefore the research will be, well, very well researched. So how would you characterize this in a broader context?[00:02:35] Tim: I would. read the footnotes of the what I'll call research and just point out that Goldman Sachs doesn't consider it research. It's like a lot of others.It's illustrative. There are some pretty juicy disclaimers on this one, including one that says that it's not financial research. It wasn't prepared in compliance with applicable provisions of law designed to promote the independence of financial analysis.They finally say at the end that you should not rely on this report in making an investment decision, which I found really funny and almost emasculating for the authors of the report. ‘cause it's basically saying or suggesting that the guys that did this or were wasting their time. Also, you wasted your time having read it, which is a bit odd.You shouldn't listen to people selling Alts, when you're a fiduciary, or even if as an individual, you need to make your own decisions using unbiased information. Because $1 moved from a stock bond, passive mix. If you have a target date bond in the US or just a stock bond mix, anywhere else that's indexed they cost very little.Under 10 basis points are under 0.1% per year. And moving a dollar from an investment like that to an investment that's an alternative is many multiples more profitable and generates more revenue for the asset managers. That doesn't mean that it can't ever make sense, but the investor needs really consider how that is affecting the message that you're getting And this Goldman report makes it clear that they have to twist themselves a pretzel to make the message work.[00:04:10] George: Thank you very much, Tim. So today we've learned that this document, which I perceived as Research from Goldman Sachs, providing us with a new ray of hope needs to be understood in a different light. Because the ray of hope, the outperformance is unproven and based on assumption the document itself, which we're not gonna call research anymore.They do say it is not research and they do state specifically that it should not be, the basis for any investment decision perhaps was not worth the time of the reader and ours and the writer's either.[00:04:57] Tim: I think that's fair. The other thing, the other way to think about the Ray of Hope is to think of alternatives as being a ray of hope for the asset managers.Who seen steady decreases due to competition, which is good for investors, good for consumers. Investment costs have got lower and lower. Here's an opportunity for them to charge more. It's clearly good for investment in managers to be able to put alts in 401k plans or anywhere else if it's coming from traditional assets, particularly passively managed assets.It's clearly good for them. Is it good for you?Link to the documenthttps://am.gs.com/cms-assets/gsam-app/documents/insights/en/2025/am-retirement-survey-102025.pdfTim's Altview on Substackhttps://thealtview.substack.com/MUSICBrandenburg Concerto No4-1 BWV1049 - Classical Whimsical by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100303Artist:http://incompetech.com/ This is a public episode.

Har du svært ved at finde de gode historier i din virksomhed? Mangler du forståelse og et par værktøjer, måske mere modeller, så skal du komme denne episode af podcasten PotterCut i øret. Du finder episode er på Spotify & Apple Podcast. Kenneth Dürr lever af at fortælle historier. Og han får det til at lyde legende let. At spotte og fortælle de gode historier fra virksomheder. Kenneth deler en model og et framework. Metoder han selv bruger, når han skal ”spotte” og fortælle en god historie. Modellen STOR får du her - Frameworket ”De Fire Esser” får du ved at signe dig op her. Frameworket skal du bruge, når du sidder med en god idé (godkendt af STOR-modellen) og skal skrive selve teksten. Det sikrer, at du ikke "begraver" det mest spændende, men i stedet leder læseren gennem en dramaturgisk kurve, der skaber en følelsesmæssig reaktion. Men først får du STOR modellen. STOR-modellen er et praktisk værktøj, der hjælper dig med at vurdere, om en hverdagsoplevelse faktisk har potentiale til at blive en god historie. Altså, om det er en "stor" historie frem for en "lille" historie, der måske ikke er værd at fortælle. Modellen fungerer som en tjekliste af fire elementer. Hvis din fortælling indeholder alle fire (eller de fleste af dem), har den ingredienserne til at fange og fastholde modtageren. S – Spænding Der skal være et element af uvished. For at fange opmærksomheden skal modtageren føle, at vi ikke helt ved, hvordan det ender, eller hvad der vil ske. Hvorfor det virker: Spænding udløser dopamin i hjernen. Det gør os fokuserede og villige til at lytte videre. Eksempel: En kunde kommer ind i en butik med et spædbarn og er nervøs for, hvordan besøget skal gå. Spændingen ligger i spørgsmålet: "Går det galt, eller går det godt?". T – Transformation Ofte det vigtigste punkt. Der skal ske en forandring. Vi skal bevæge os fra A til B. Historien må ikke være statisk (f.eks. "vi var gode, så gjorde vi noget godt, og nu er vi stadig gode" - det er kedeligt). Der skal være en udvikling, hvor en person eller en virksomhed har rykket sig eller lært noget. Hvorfor det virker: Når vi oplever, at tingene falder på plads eller løser sig gennem en forandring, udløser hjernen oxytocin, hvilket giver en følelse af velvære og forbindelse. O – Overraskelse En god historie indeholder noget uventet. Det kan være en handling, der skiller sig ud fra det normale, eller en drejning, man ikke havde set komme. Hvorfor det virker: Overraskelser kan få os til at smile, grine eller blive rørte. Det udløser endorfiner, som hjælper os med at huske historien bedre. Eksempel: I historien med spædbarnet var overraskelsen, at personalet trådte til og vuggede barnevognen, mens moderen fik tjekket øjnene – en uventet ekstra service. R – Risiko Der skal være noget på spil. Risiko betyder ikke nødvendigvis liv eller død, men at der er en chance for, at projektet eller situationen kunne mislykkes. Uden risiko er sejren ligegyldig. Anvendelse: Risiko fungerer ofte godt som starten på historien (et "hook"), hvor man præsenterer problemet eller tvivlen, før man udløser spændingen. Hvordan bruger du modellen i praksis? Du bruger STOR-modellen som et filter. Når du tror, du har en idé til et opslag eller en case, stiller du dig selv spørgsmålene: Er der Spænding? Sker der en Transformation? Er der en Overraskelse? Var der en Risiko? Hvis svaret er "nej" til det hele, er det en "lille" historie, som du nok bør lade ligge. Hvis du kan svare ja til flere af elementerne, har du en historie, der er værd at arbejde videre med. Du kan tænke på STOR-modellen som en kvalitetskontrol ved et samlebånd. Inden du sender en historie ud i verden, lader du den køre igennem STOR-maskinen. Hvis den mangler alle fire dele, bliver den sorteret fra som skrot. Men hvis den lyser op på parametre som Risiko og Transformation, får den et kvalitetsstempel og er klar til at blive delt med dit publikum. ...

Altseason was supposed to be inevitable. Instead, it turned into an altered version of the Banana Zone — where traders slipped on hype and narratives replaced fundamentals.In this episode, I revisit my latest newsletter to explain what went wrong, why the market is growing up, and how 2026 is shaping into a year that rewards real adoption, real volume, and real infrastructure.This isn't about calling tops or bottoms. It's about understanding where the market actually is — and how to position accordingly. Want to go deeper?Start here: Own The Economy — my framework for tracking the Digital Dollar shift, early Signals, and the infrastructure institutions are quietly building.

Vi er nok ikke de eneste, der efterhånden har vænnet os til at lade det gå ind ad det ene øre og ud igen af det andet, når der igen igen bliver talt om, at der nu måske er taget et vigtigt skridt i retning af fred i Ukraine. For den krig, som Donald Trump – før han blev præsident - lovede at afslutte på en enkelt dag, har han jo som præsident været ude af stand til at få skabt så meget som en uges våbenhvile i – i løbet af hele 2025. Men så midt imellem jul og nytår skete der pludselig noget. Igen havde den ukrainske præsident Volodymyr Zelenskyj og Donald Trump sat sig sammen. Og denne her gang havde de begge givet sig på afgørende punkter, forlød det. Men hvad er det egentlig, vi er vidner til? Og som vi kalder fredsforhandlinger. Går øvelsen lige nu i virkeligheden bare ud på ikke at være den, der påkalder sig Donald Trumps vrede? Og hvad er det så, vi venter på? Altså: hvad er det, der skal ske, for at Vladimir Putin hellere vil slutte fred end at fortsætte krigen? Det spørger vi i dagens ’Du lytter til Politiken’ Michael Jarlner, der er Politikens internationale kommentator, om.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy holidays—and let's be real: the markets, the economy, and “the plan” don't look clean right now.In this 12 Days of Giving episode, Shana Orczyk Sissel comes back with a story that hits every advisor (and every client) right between the eyes: a young advisor leaves a firm, starts from zero, and lands a $25M client… not by sounding smarter… but by asking better questions and bringing REAL options to the table.Here's the uncomfortable truth: most advisors are selling the same portfolio with a different logo on it. Same playbook. Same funds. Same “set it and forget it” pitch. Shana breaks down why alternatives—private credit, direct lending, and other non-traditional tools—can be a legit way to differentiate… IF you're actually doing planning and not just product-pushing.Then we go straight at the elephant in the room: crypto and “controversial” investments. If your advisor's entire view is “it's a scam,” that's not wisdom—that's laziness. You don't have to love crypto to be qualified. But you DO have to have a thoughtful, educated stance. Because the future client is already there, already curious, already investing… and they're not waiting for the industry to catch up.We also talk about where advice is headed: less AUM worship, more fee-for-service, coaching, and real-life decision support. Translation: if you can't deliver value people can't get from a brokerage app, you're going to get left behind—fast.Watch the full episode here:https://youtu.be/Wv8sctzRALQAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

Private equity is entering a period of adjustment after decades of expansion fueled by falling interest rates and abundant capital. That long-running tailwind reversed beginning in 2022, when interest rates rose sharply, disrupting deal activity, slowing exits, and bringing renewed attention to a long-standing vulnerability in private markets: liquidity. Industry reports have highlighted softer fundraising, longer holding periods, and growing pressure on pension funds and other long-term investors to generate cash distributions. At the same time, advances in AI, cloud computing, and on-demand development talent are lowering the cost of building companies, reshaping how entrepreneurship and private capital intersect.So, what happens to private equity—and to entrepreneurs—when liquidity dries up, valuations adjust quietly, and technology makes it cheaper than ever to build a business?Welcome to the fourth and final episode of our mini-series on the alternative asset market. Tuesdays with Morrisey host Adam Morrisey welcomes Dr. Ken Wiles, a clinical professor of finance and the Executive Director of the Private Equity Center at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. In this episode, we explore the evolution of private equity from the early LBO era to today's liquidity constraints, and why Dr. Ken believes this is the best time in history to be an entrepreneur.With decades of experience spanning investment banking, software, restructuring, and academia, Dr. Ken brings a rare blend of practitioner and academic insight into private markets.Top TakeawaysDr. Ken explains how lower discount rates, the development of the junk bond market, and abundant inefficiencies in the 1980s created the perfect runway for PE to grow from a niche into a $22T asset class.When the Fed raised rates at the fastest pace in its history, valuations dropped sharply. Unlike public markets, however, private-market declines play out quietly. Fundraising slowed, deal flow fell, and many firms extended maturities, restructured portfolios, or “extended and pretended” — largely out of view of anyone outside the industry.“Liquidity doesn't matter until it does and then it's the only thing that matters.” According to Dr. Ken, liquidity is the biggest risk in private equity today. Pension plans, which provide two-thirds of all PE capital, aren't receiving distributions as quickly. Without liquidity, returns fall, fundraising slows, and many funds will struggle to raise their next fund, which may lead to consolidation across PE and VC.Dr. Ken sees the rise of new technologies leading to a new golden age in entrepreneurship. “This is the  greatest period to be an entrepreneur or have an idea in history. It's amazing. Thanks to AI, cloud infrastructure, and on-demand development talent, the cost of building a company has collapsed. Tasks that once required millions and large teams can now be executed by small groups in weeks. Barriers to entry have never been lower.”Topics CoveredThe origins and evolution of private equityThe impact of interest rates on four decades of private equity returnsThe 2022–2024 “private market crash” no one sawLiquidity challenges and their impact on pensions and fundsHow private credit prevented a maturity crisisManipulated unicorn valuations and extend-and-pretend dynamicsThe new economics of entrepreneurship in an AI-enabled worldCollege students, AI, and modern career preparationThe shrinking operating costs of building softwareEntrepreneurship through acquisition and the rise of search fundsWhy more businesses will be built with smaller teamsThe growing consolidation of trades, CPA firms, and local service businessesThe future of private equity, venture capital, and public markets interplayDr. Ken Wiles is a Clinical Professor of Finance at the University of Texas at Austin and Executive Director of the Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Center for Private Equity Finance at McCombs, where he focuses on private equity, valuation, and corporate finance. He brings decades of practitioner experience as a former COO and CFO of multiple companies, including firms taken public and one sold to Oracle, as well as a leader of restructuring, investment banking, and asset management firms. Widely published in leading academic and practitioner journals and a former chair of the Nevada Economic Forum, Dr. Ken also serves on investment committees and boards, bridging academic insight with real-world private market expertise.

Søvn er en fundamental fysiologisk prosess, men også en essensiell komponent for psykisk helse. Forskning viser at søvnens kvalitet og kvantitet er tett koblet til emosjonell regulering, kognitiv funksjon og mental helse. Likevel er søvnproblemer en epidemi i vår moderne kultur. Forståelsen av hvorfor dette skjer, og hvorfor vi ofte unnlater å ta enkle grep for å forbedre søvnen vår, kan også gi innsikt i bredere implementeringsproblemer knyttet til fysisk og psykisk helse. Her er det et iøynefallende paradoks som gjør seg gjeldende på mange områder av livet: Vi vet hva som er bra for oss, men vi gjør det ikke. Dette gjelder domener som kosthold, trening, søvn og andre områder av livet som kunne gitt ganske gode helsegevinster med ganske små justeringer eller tiltak. I dagens episode skal jeg først og fremst snakke om hvorfor søvn er så viktig, og jeg vil gi deg en enkel og grei oppskrift på bedre søvn i løpet av 7 tiltak gjennomført på 7 dager - Altså et tiltak hver dag basert på en bok som heter søvnresepeten. Men selv om jeg klarer å overbevise deg, og meg selv, om at søvn er superviktig for veldig mye, er det jammen med ikke sikkert at verken du eller jeg gjør noen vesentlige endringer etter denne episoden. Sånn sett føles det ganske bortkastet, men la meg likevel invitere deg til en ny, potensielt sett bortkasta, episode av SinnSyn. Vil du ha mer psykologi og flere dypdykk i menneskets sjelsliv?

Private credit has become one of the most significant shifts in modern finance—quietly but rapidly reshaping how private companies access capital. Over the last decade, assets under management in the space have surged from roughly $500 billion to about $2 trillion, fueled by post-crisis regulation, a growing appetite for yield, and the rise of private equity. With headlines increasingly focused on “shadow banking,” retail access, and the long-term implications of private lenders replacing banks, the conversation around private credit has never been more timely.So, the core question is this: How did private credit grow so quickly, why does it matter now, and what does its rise mean for investors, lenders, and the broader financial system?In the third episode of our mini-series on the alternative asset market, Tuesdays with Morrisey host Adam Morrisey speaks with AB Private Credit Investors‘ President Brent Humphries and Managing Director Marc Cooper. As leaders within AllianceBernstein's $800 billion global investment platform, they break down what private credit is, why it has accelerated so dramatically, and how the industry is evolving as it enters its next phase of growth.Top TakeawaysPrivate credit has quietly become one of the biggest shifts in modern finance. It is now the primary way many private companies access capital, replacing what used to be a market run by the traditional banking system.The rise of private credit was largely created by regulation. After the financial crisis, new rules made it harder for banks to hold certain loans, and private lenders stepped in with faster, more flexible financing that met the needs of private equity and middle-market companies.Investors have been drawn to it because of its combination of yield, downside protection, and floating rates. It has delivered strong, steady returns without taking on other risks tied to interest rates, foreign currency, or market volatility.The big question now is where the risk sits. As more lending moves outside the regulated banking system, pension funds, insurance companies, and individuals hold a growing share of the credit exposure.Its next phase will include more retail access, more participation from insurers, and continued specialization among lenders. At the same time, AI is beginning to reshape underwriting, research, and operations, making investment teams faster and more efficient.Topics CoveredWhat “private credit” means and how direct lending worksHow bank regulation after 2008 shifted lending outside the traditional systemThe role of the unitranche structure in simplifying deal executionWhy private credit returns have attracted pensions, institutions, and high-net-worth investorsHow to evaluate private credit fund managers (track record, team retention, sector edge, platform model)Perceived risks and the “shadow banking” debateThe role of insurance capital and the rise of investment-grade private creditHow AI is influencing underwriting, research, and software-sector lendingFuture outlook for the next 5–10 years in private creditBrent Humphries is the President and a founding member of AB Private Credit Investors, where he oversees investment strategy, originations, underwriting, portfolio management, and investor relations for the firm's middle-market direct lending platform.

 This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are back to talk about increased access to alternative investing. My guest is Josh Clarkson, managing director at Prosek Partners. You may remember that Josh joined us last year in our primer series on private credit. He is back today to discuss what this development could mean for all the counterparties involved. We put some numbers around the opportunity, cover what asset managers might be best positioned to capture it, the strategies that most naturally fit, and some of the risks to the investor base. It is a fascinating theme that I expect to continue gaining momentum.

Det undrer mig virkelig meget, hvorfor bliver så mange syge af at gå på arbejde? Og det bliver endnu mere underligt, når der findes masser af forskning, der beskriver det gode arbejdsliv. Altså, vi ved godt, hvad vi skal gøre, men vi gør det ikke i tilstrækkelig grad til at undgå mennesker bliver syge. Hakon Mosbech har startet en virksomhed og da de første ansatte kom til, måtte han stille sig selv spørgsmålet, hvordan gør jeg det her? Nu har han skrevet bogen, Vågne timer, om hvordan vi kan indrette arbejdsliv med udgangspunkt i de gode eksempler. Vært: Svend Brinkmann. Glæd dig til dagens episode, som du nu kan høre i DR Lyd.

The ULTIMATE altcoin sell signal to watch for. Most holders of top altcoins like XRP, Solana, Cardano $ada Chainlink and so many more are stick bag holding.  In this episode, we'll uncover the critical data that could mark the top of the altcoin rally and when we will sell Alts.

Markets are moving — but not breaking. Bitcoin's rangebound, altcoins are quiet, and stablecoin headlines are stirring questions about liquidity and regulation. Meanwhile, Trump's new tariff rhetoric and gold's reaction are reshaping macro sentiment.

If you're still pretending 60/40 will solve everything, this episode is your wake-up call. I brought back the Queen of Alts, Shana Orczyk Sissel, to rip through the reality of alternatives: what works, what doesn't, where the real yield is coming from, and the cost you actually pay for it—hint: liquidity, not magic. We get straight to it. No fluff. No sales pitch. Just the truth. We break down why alts are finally everywhere—regulatory changes, active ETFs, and the rise of interval funds—and why access is easier but the learning curve is still real. Shana explains the tradeoffs in plain English: higher income often means less liquidity, leverage multiplies both gains and pain, and “complex” doesn't automatically mean “risky.” Complexity just means do the work. This is a masterclass in due diligence. We walk through what to ask a manager, how to sniff out conflicts, why structure and third-party vendors matter, and how to judge a product beyond marketing sheets. We also hit the advisor problem: most fear is just lack of information. Your job is to learn what your clients don't have time to learn. Period. Who are alts for? Shana's take: everyone, but not every alt is for everyone. There's a spectrum—from Bitcoin and venture to sober, income-producing private credit. Your job is matching goals, risk, taxes, and liquidity. We close with a simple portfolio checklist so you can stop guessing and start allocating with intent.

Der kan ikke være ret mange jobs i Danmark, der kræver lige så tykt et lag hård hud. Som generaldirektør for Danmarks Radio – landets suverænt vigtigste og mest magtfulde medie – skal man – på den ene side - sørge for, at de 2.500 medarbejdere går frit, nysgerrigt og ind imellem også gerne frækt til det samfund, det er deres opgave at holde et spejl op for. Og at de tør udfordre os alle sammen – og især magthaverne. På den anden side er man betalt af de selvsamme magthavere. Altså af politikere, der lever af omtale og har mange – og ofte højlydte meninger om – hvad Danmarks Radio hellere skulle gøre. Måske derfor kunne man nærmest høre et kollektivt lettelsens suk i DR og ude i landet, da Bjarne Corydon for nylig blev præsenteret som ny generaldirektør. En mand af systemet. Tidligere finansminister og chefredaktør. Men også en rolig, nærmest urokkelig skikkelse. Selve den personificerede sindsro. Lød det. Men så gik han om bord på skuden. Og vejret slog om. Hvordan han siden har holdt balancen, og hvad det siger om DRs uafhængighed, spørger Nils Thorsen i dag Politikens kulturredaktør Mette Davidsen-Nielsen om.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the second episode in our mini-series on the alternative asset market.Gennaro Leo is a sports executive and the co-founder of Austin Sports Ventures, a firm that partners with venture capital and private equity firms to invest in and operate assets across professional sports leagues, teams, and high-growth technology startups.In this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, we discuss how sports ownership is changing and growing into a sophisticated asset class that combines real estate, technology, media and entertainment.Top Takeaways1. Sports ownership has evolved from a passion-driven pursuit into an institutional asset class. What began with local owners now attracts private equity and global investors seeking stable, outperforming returns.2. Media and entertainment continue at the center of sports. Many consider sports to be the last frontier of live entertainment, and the emergence of deals like Amazon's Thursday Night Football, shows like Netflix's Drive to Survive, and the popularity of TikTok sensation Savannah Bananas show the convergence of modern media and sports. This was a central theme in our 2024 episode with Ari Temkin, “Why Live Sports Dominate Streaming and Audio Is Thriving”.3. Stadiums and sports-related real estate development serve as community anchors, hosting concerts, graduations, and local events nearly every day of the year. Venues like SoFi Stadium and The Star in Dallas showcase how sports infrastructure fuels real estate and community growth.4. Italian soccer has become a case study in global sports ownership, with American investors now owning more than half of Serie A clubs. Gennaro's experience at AS Roma and Hellas Verona highlights the need for process, discipline, and respect for tradition when foreign owners enter a league.5. As ownership and media distribution models continue to evolve, opportunities open up for players, fans, and investors. We're seeing athlete-led venture funds to architecturally significant mixed-use developments, and increasingly, the convergence of sports with media, tech, and real estate.Full List of Topics CoveredGennaro's career spanning tech, media, real estate and sports ownershipThe evolution of stadiums as community and economic hubsU.S. investment in European football and its impactHow media innovation drives sports growthThe intersection of sports, tech, and real estateBuilding sustainable value in a global sports ecosystemThe future of the player and fan experience, and ownership modelsGennaro Leo is an accomplished operator and investor with expertise spanning venture capital, private equity, sports management, and technology commercialization.

On today's episode: three films that ask the question: yes, but at what cost? Albeit in very different ways. We're talking "Him," Spike Lee's Kurosawa re-imagining, "Highest 2 Lowest," and our first trip to the early Alts with Robert Altman's "Mash." At least one of these films was fun to watch.

After a year that put digital assets back in the headlines, long-term Bitcoin adoption is quietly compounding beneath the noise. Unchained reports helping “many thousands” of clients secure roughly $12B in Bitcoin via collaborative custody, while on-chain “HODL waves” data shows that ~60% of all Bitcoin typically hasn't moved in a year or more, signaling growing conviction among holders. For family offices, entrepreneurs, and advisors navigating the alternative asset landscape, that combination of institutional-grade controls and patient capital is reshaping how Bitcoin is owned and used.So the big question becomes: If Bitcoin is maturing as a monetary asset, what does “responsible” Bitcoin finance actually look like—and who will build it?On this first episode of our four-part mini-series on the alternative asset market, Tuesdays with Morrisey host Adam Morrisey welcomes Joseph Kelly, Co-founder and CEO of Unchained, to explore Bitcoin's evolution from tech curiosity to durable balance-sheet asset. In this episode, they discuss the founding story of Unchained, cryptocurrency as an alternative asset class, and emerging practical applications of blockchain technology. Their conversation also covers the market cycles that shaped Unchained's strategy, why collaborative custody redefines the risk equation, and how real-world applications—like payments, lending, and estate planning—are being built on Bitcoin's unique foundation.Key takeaways from the episode…Amidst the noise of rises and falls, meme-coins and YOLO bets, it's an overlooked fact that roughly 60% of Bitcoin is held by people or businesses that have never sold more than 25% of their portfolio.Joe Kelly and his co-founders at Unchained saw an opportunity in 2016 to launch a financial services company to serve long-term holders of Bitcoin, growing to help thousands of clients secure over $12B of assets.The underlying technology of Bitcoin and Blockchain is strong. However, despite its promise, it is still relatively untested in terms of practical application and largely remains a store of value, considered by many to be an essential part of a balanced financial portfolio.The future for Bitcoin is unclear, but many believe it will rise to more commonplace relevance in an increasingly digital, interconnected and global world as massive investments in stablecoins and other applications take center stage.The episode also covers…Joseph's path from tech entrepreneur to Bitcoin builderLessons learned living aboard a sailboat with his familyFounding Unchained in 2016 and early challengesThe philosophy behind collaborative custodyWhy lending against Bitcoin matters for long-term holdersBuilding advisory, IRA, and inheritance planning toolsThe role of lightning, stablecoins, and emerging layer-2sWhy education and usability are key to mass adoptionTrust, reputation, and long-term positioning in financial servicesJoseph Kelly is the Co-founder and CEO of Unchained, a Bitcoin-focused financial services and technology firm known for collaborative custody. A second-time founder who previously built and exited an enterprise data company, Kelly blends technical rigor with conservative risk management. Under his leadership, Unchained has scaled to secure billions in client Bitcoin, offer dollar lending against BTC collateral, deliver IRA and advisory services, and launch a trust company for advanced estate needs.

In this episode, Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision, drops a masterclass on why the real top for Bitcoin and altcoins could come in 2026, not 2025. We dive into the macro forces, liquidity flows, and onchain data that most investors completely overlook. ~~~~~

This episode of Crypto Town Hall brings together several crypto experts for a lively and candid roundtable discussion on current market conditions, the state of major cryptocurrencies, institutional adoption, the future of tokenization, macro trends, and the social impact of meme coins.
