Elliot Moss didn't join a law firm to keep things the same. As Partner and Chief Brand Officer at Mishcon de Reya LLP, he brought a deep understanding of branding into a profession that often dismisses it, and changed how one of the UK's top firms thinks about growth and perception. He shares how clarity, consistency, and emotional intelligence turned Mishcon from a £45 million practice into a £380 million brand defined by truth and differentiation, not slogans. Clients, he says, may buy expertise, but they stay because of trust and how a firm makes them feel.   He talks candidly about leading change in a culture that prizes logic over emotion, showing how small wins and patience can reshape perception from within. The conversation moves beyond marketing into the psychology of leadership, exploring why authentic differentiation matters more than polish and how strong branding can become a firm's greatest competitive advantage. For Elliot, the future of law will belong to those who understand that perception drives performance—and that real brand power is earned, not advertised.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Building a Brand Inside a Law Firm 04:35 From Advertising to Legal Branding 06:30 Why Differentiation Matters in Professional Services 09:08 Changing Client Perception Through Authentic Branding 15:33 Strategy and Growth at Mishcon de Reya LLP 24:32 Leading Change in a Traditional Industry 31:16 AI, Private Capital, and the Future of Law Firms 36:59 Elliot Moss on Leadership and Opportunity Connect with Elliot Moss Connect with Elliot on LinkedIn Elliot's Web Bio   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

JBook and Dave Biddle give predictions for tomorrow night's UCLA at Ohio State game and also provide one other "best bet" for the week in college football. Also, Ohio State and Michigan are reportedly at odds when it comes to the Big Ten's idea of getting an infusion of cash via private capital.

David chats with Tara Davies, Co-Head of European Infrastructure and Co-Head of EMEA at KKR, one of the world's most influential alternative investment firms. Tara's career spans two decades at the top of global infrastructure investing, from Macquarie in the formative years of privatisations to now helping lead KKR through one of the largest capital deployment cycles in history. For investors watching the rapid rise of private markets, particularly those curious about how KKR thinks about risk, returns, leverage, vintages, AI-driven infrastructure, and liquidity in evergreen structures, this is a rare opportunity to hear it directly from someone charged with allocating tens of billions globally. Tara brings depth of cycle-tested judgment and unpacks how KKR underwrites downside, protects capital, and finds differentiated returns across energy transition, digital infrastructure, and private credit–linked opportunities. Listen to hear about: * How KKR defines “true infrastructure” — and where the market is mispricing risk * Why AI is turbo-charging transmission, renewables, and data-center build-out globally * The move from closed-end drawdown funds to evergreen vehicles designed for private clients * The role of vintage-year diversification as the stealth driver of long-term returns * How to think about debt discipline in an era where leverage is the thing that kills good assets This is a masterclass in private markets from one of the most senior women in global investing, and a rare transparent look “inside the room” at KKR's worldview on infrastructure as an asset class for wealth preservation and compounding.

We sit down with Jeff Perry, CRO at Carta, to explore how growth leaders redefine success when capital tightens, buyers get smarter, and AI reshapes cost structures.  We unpack how growth has changed, why IPO-ready now means post-IPO durable, and how Carta scaled from a cap table tool to an ERP-like platform for private capital while staying efficient and customer-first. Jeff shares concrete tactics for moving upmarket, using AI wisely, and building teams that perform under pressure.• redefining fast growth and IPO readiness in private markets• evolving from SMB velocity to enterprise endurance• expanding from cap tables to fund admin and private credit• measuring meetings as a leading productivity indicator• using curated events and customer proofs over vanity metrics• aligning sales, marketing and product around shared pipeline• adding K-1 tax and LP data products to deepen value• AI as a force for 10x productivity, not headcount cuts• disciplined acquisitions to accelerate the CFO ERP vision• leadership choices: pausing sales, saying no when not readyIPO dreams used to hinge on hitting 100 million ARR. That world is gone.  Jeff takes us from Carta's earliest days digitizing stock certificates to building a networked platform that now powers cap tables, fund administration, LP data, and private credit—an evolving ERP for the office of the private capital CFO.We dig into the hard pivots after the 2021 surge: why “more capacity” stopped working, how meetings per AE became a reliable leading indicator, and where curated events and customer-led storytelling outperform saturated digital tactics. Jeff explains the move upmarket into venture and private equity, the new enterprise seller profile it requires, and the partnership with marketing to identify real switching intent. He also shares how acquisitions like Accelex and Sirvatus support an end-to-end vision across funds, LPs, and loan servicing.AI looms large throughout. Jeff contrasts application-layer SaaS with AI-native companies carrying heavy compute costs, and why that bifurcation changes CAC, payback, and headcount plans. Rather than using AI to cut roles, he shows how Carta uses it to 10x productivity—accelerating RFPs, territory coverage, and performance workflows—while standardizing experiments so wins become reusable process. Along the way, we unpack bold leadership choices: pausing sales to protect implementation quality, and walking away from a marquee IPO transition when the product wasn't ready.If you care about efficient growth, enterprise GTM, and building products that compound value across a connected market, this conversation delivers practical playbooks and memorable lessons on performing under pressure.

CJ Calio - The Deal That Changed My Life In this episode of The Deal That Changed My Life, CJ Calio from WNN Properties shares the real estate deal that transformed his path from UPS driver to financial freedom in just four years. Based in Hawaii, CJ focuses on out-of-state investing, building wealth through buy-and-hold residential and commercial properties in more affordable markets. CJ dives into the pivotal deal that changed everything: an 11-property portfolio he secured without having the cash in hand. By leveraging OPM (other people's money), he raised $500,000 in under 30 days to close on the deal. This portfolio not only accelerated his journey to early retirement but also opened doors to larger opportunities, including a $3 million commercial property.

How does a legacy private capital partnership who has thrived solely in the institutional draw down LP ecosystem, assemble the apparatus to begin distributing those strategies to the individual investor? When client acquisition and conversations, investor sophistication, product design, culture, operational support etc. are all fundamentally different...where do they start in this overhaul? What challenges and pitfalls have they experienced along the way? What battle scars and advice can they share with others that are considering the same or in the early stages themselves. Join us as we draw a blueprint in a very applied and practical manner.Introduction: (2:05)Halftime: (55:18)Guests: (1:00:56)Guests:Shane Clifford, Managing Director–Partner and Head of Global Wealth, CarlyleDoug Krupa, Managing Director, Global Client Solutions, KKR

In this episode of YourForest, Matthew Kristoff and guest Shauna Matcovich explore the world of forest finance and the critical role of private capital in funding sustainable forestry. Shauna, a forester and founding director of The ForestLink, discusses the need to link the intrinsic values of a forest - such as its biodiversity and ecosystem health - to a monetary economy in order to drive conservation. The conversation highlights how private investment can be a powerful lever for change and a way to create a more resilient and sustainable forest industry.

“I think it's very difficult to predict a world where you might go back to zero interest rates. And so that all portends that there's likely to be an uptick in default rates,” says Jeff Diehl, managing partner and head of investments at Adams Street, discussing potential challenges awaiting direct lenders after the strong growth of the asset class. Diehl joins Bloomberg Intelligence's Noel Hebert on this episode of the Credit Crunch podcast to talk about Adams Street's approach to private credit managers, a focus on sectors exposed to disruption, how having private equity (PE) and venture capital exposures creates synergies. They also discuss private market secondaries, how hyper-scaling in parts of the direct-lending market may add returns risk and the outlook for PE exit activity.

In today's podcast we dive into the rapidly evolving world of infrastructure investment — a space that has moved from the periphery of specialist portfolios to the centre of global capital markets.Once the preserve of a relatively narrow group of pension funds and specialist investors, infrastructure has now become a truly universal asset class, attracting sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, private equity houses and retail capital. And it's an asset class that promises stable, long-term returns while underpinning the physical and digital systems that our economies depend upon.Joining me to today to help understand why we are seeing these huge and profound changes – and why they matter - is Charlotte Madden, Partner and Co-Head of the Infrastructure Sector at global law firm Clifford Chance. Charlotte specialises in advising private equity and infrastructure funds on complex domestic and cross-border M&A, often involving highly regulated transactions. She has helped deliver the deals that make critical infrastructure happen, from the earliest structuring stages through to completion.And in the UK, the stakes could not be higher. The government has set out an ambitious £725 billion infrastructure pipeline, with more than half of that expected to come from the private sector. From energy security and clean transport to housing and digital connectivity, these projects are central to national growth plans — yet the tension between private investment and public service delivery remains a live and often polarising debate.It's a complex subject so let's dig in …ResourcesClifford Chance infrastructure 10 year infrastructure strategyUK infrastructure PipelineNISTA websiteUK National Wealth Fund

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@garretwong   "Startup Funding Explained: Everything You Need to Know"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzU9FmuVRDM In the ever-evolving world of real estate investing, access to capital can make or break a deal. But what happens when traditional funding sources dry up or become too restrictive? This was exactly the dilemma faced by Jay Conner, a seasoned real estate investor in Eastern North Carolina, whose journey and strategies were explored in depth on a recent episode of the “Investing to Win” podcast with Garret Wong.From Banks to Private Money: Jay's Turning PointFor the first six years of his real estate career, Jay relied solely on institutional financing—local banks and traditional money sources to fund his single-family home deals. But as the 2008-2009 financial crisis arrived, Jay, like many investors, found his credit lines abruptly closed by the bank, jeopardizing multiple deals overnight. Instead of throwing in the towel, Jay asked himself a powerful question: Who do I know that can help me with this problem?That introspection led him to Jeff Blankenship, a fellow investor who introduced Jay to the world of private money and self-directed IRAs. This new approach, Jay quickly learned, didn't depend on bank approvals or credit scores but rather on relationships and transparency.What Is Private Money?Private money, as Jay describes, is direct investment from individuals, not institutions or hard money lenders. It's a one-on-one relationship where investors loan funds secured against real estate, often using capital from personal savings or retirement accounts. Unlike hard money brokers who pool funds into lending operations (and charge higher rates and fees), true private lenders work directly with the investor.Jay emphasizes that private lenders come from all walks of life. Most of his 47 active private lenders wouldn't consider themselves sophisticated or accredited; many are teachers, civil servants, and retirees simply seeking better and safer returns on their investments.Key Benefits of Private Money LendingWhy does Jay champion private money with such passion? He lists several compelling advantages:Flexibility and Speed: Without lengthy bank underwriting, deals can often close in as little as five to seven days—sometimes a lifesaver for properties facing foreclosure or competitive bidding.Fewer Restrictions: Private lenders don't cap the number of deals or the size of your line of credit. Jay's deals frequently involve borrowing up to 75% of the after-repaired value (ARV), and it's common for him to leave the closing table with “excess cash to close”—funds above and beyond the purchase price, useful for renovations or reserves.No Appraisals or Red Tape: Instead of formal appraisals, Jay uses comparative market analyses (CMAs) to justify values to his lenders—trusted personal relationships eliminate most bureaucratic hurdles.True Win-Win: Lenders earn higher, predictable returns (Jay typically offers 8% straight, sometimes accruing during a flip or paid out monthly), while investors unlock funding quickly and efficiently.Building Trust and Educating LendersThe cornerstone of Jay's approach isn't just a promising rate—it's education and transparency. He never pitches deals out of desperation or attaches a project to an initial conversation. Instead, he teaches potential lenders about the opportunity, shows them exactly how they'll be protected, and only connects them to a specific deal when it matches what they want.Notably, Jay suggests that new investors leverage the credibility of an experienced partner or mentor when starting.

In this episode, Trevor Hall and Justin Hune discuss the recent fluctuations in the uranium market, highlighting the wild sentiment swings and significant policy reversals in nuclear energy across various countries. They delve into the ambitious goals set by the U.S. to quadruple nuclear capacity by 2050, the challenges of financing nuclear projects, and the dynamics of the spot price in the uranium market. The conversation sets the stage for an insightful discussion with guest expert Steve Everly from FTI Consulting, focusing on energy policies and the future of nuclear energy.Steve discusses his extensive background in energy policy, particularly focusing on nuclear energy. He highlights the unique gaps that nuclear can fill in the energy landscape, especially in light of the growing need for reliable, low-carbon energy sources. The discussion covers the current investment landscape for nuclear energy, the role of private capital, and the importance of federal incentives. Everley also addresses the challenges in the supply chain for nuclear fuel and the increasing interest from tech companies in investing in nuclear energy solutions.

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@hbgcapital662    "Professional Capital Raiser Shares How To Raise Money Immediately with Jay Conner"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99BpAmJOs_w If you're an aspiring or seasoned real estate investor, there's one hurdle that inevitably determines your growth: access to capital. How do you finance deals when traditional banks close their doors, market conditions shift, or you simply want more flexibility and profit? Jay Conner, a recognized authority in private money for real estate, has plenty of answers—and in a recent conversation with Brandon Cobb, he broke down the essential strategies and mindset shifts that have allowed him to thrive through market cycles.From Bank Loans to Private Money: Jay's BreakthroughJay Conner started investing in real estate in 2003, primarily focusing on single-family homes in the relatively small market of Eastern North Carolina. For years, he played by the traditional rules—going to local banks, submitting to their criteria, and letting lenders set the terms. That was until the financial crisis of 2009. Suddenly, despite a spotless record and strong deals under contract, Jay's line of credit was closed with no warning.Faced with the potential collapse of his deals and business, Jay asked himself a critical question: “Who do you know that can help fix your problem?” This led him to an old friend, who introduced him to the world of private money—individuals willing to lend their personal funds or retirement accounts for real estate investments, often at competitive rates and flexible terms.The Teacher's Mindset: Educating, Not BeggingJay's approach flipped the typical script. Instead of chasing after money, he put on his “teacher hat.” He proactively educated his network—friends, fellow churchgoers, Rotary Club members, and other contacts—about what private lending was, how it worked, and the safe, lucrative returns they could earn.A crucial point: Jay never asked anyone for money directly. He simply explained his private lending program, laid out the potential and security, and let interest organically develop. The goal was building trust, demystifying the opportunity, and leading with a servant's heart. As a result, he raised $2,150,000 in less than 90 days—without ever “pitching” a deal or acting out of desperation.Strategic Steps: Separating Education from the AskJay highlighted a key mistake many new investors make: mixing education about private lending with direct requests for funding on a specific deal. This can feel pushy and overwhelming, and it's the fastest way to turn off a potential private lender. Instead, he recommends two separate steps:Educate First: Explain your lending program, rates, security, and process. Answer questions, build confidence, and see who is interested in principle.The Good News Call: When the right deal is available, you make a simple call: “I've got great news—I can now put your money to work on this deal.” This assumes the groundwork is already laid and the lender trusts you.Expanding Beyond Your Inner CircleWhat happens when you've tapped your immediate network? Jay suggests organizations like Business Networking International (BNI) or local Rotary Clubs, which allow you to grow contacts exponentially. These groups thrive on referrals, and, as the only real estate investor in the group, you're uniquely positioned to connect with new potential lenders eager for better returns on their idle capital.Compliance & The Power of One-OffsA question that often arises: How do you make sure you're staying within SEC and legal boundaries? Jay makes it clear he only does “one-off” deals—each lender fund

 Lex chats with Avlok Kohli - the CEO of AngelList, about the company's significant evolution. Initially a platform for startups to connect with venture capitalists, AngelList has transformed into a comprehensive fintech entity encompassing private equity and cryptocurrency. Avlok discusses the strategic pivots, including the introduction of syndicates and rolling funds, that have redefined the company's business model. The episode also explores the broader implications of crowdfunding and the unique challenges in the crypto space, offering a deep dive into AngelList's impact on the financial services industry. Notable discussion points: 1. AngelList's Second Founding: Reinvention as a Fintech Platform: Since 2019, AngelList has transformed from a mixed-use startup platform into a focused fintech infrastructure business for fund managers. Avlok Kohli spun out the syndicates arm and built a scalable product offering that includes SPVs, venture funds, and innovative structures like Rolling Funds and Roll Up Vehicles. This pivot catalyzed explosive growth—from ~$1B in AUM in 2019 to $171B+ today—by enabling fund creation and deployment at scale. 2. Product Innovation as a Strategic Advantage: Instead of competing with well-capitalized incumbents like Carta on sales and marketing, AngelList focused on building category-defining products. The launch of Rolling Funds—allowing fund managers to raise publicly and continuously—was a breakout moment. It created viral word-of-mouth growth and redefined how emerging fund managers could access capital, illustrating the principle: “You can't win by playing someone else's game.” 3. AI and the Future of Private Markets Infrastructure: AngelList is embedding AI across three strategic layers: (1) Back-office automation, replacing manual workflows, (2) Customer service enhancement, enabling agents to respond to LPs with real-time data, and (3) Data reasoning products, like Fin, which analyzes anonymized fund and secondary data to deliver actionable private market insightsThis positions AngelList not only as an admin platform but as a data intelligence layer over the private capital markets. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Fintech, Web3, Venture, VC, Venture capital, private markets, fundraising, crowdfunding, crypto, web3, AI, Angellist, Coinlist, Carta, Gumroad ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT
