In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast, host Rob Duncan sits down with Nimar Bangesh of Obsiido to unpack one of the most infuriating developments in Canadian investing this year: fund gating. After years of rapid growth, private markets have become mainstream in Canadian portfolios. But recent gating events have forced investors to confront a hard truth — liquidity in alternatives isn't guaranteed. Is this simply how private markets are designed to function, or is it a warning sign that investor expectations have drifted too far from reality? Rob and Nimar break down the evolution of alternatives in Canada, the role they play in portfolio construction, and where the risks may be hiding. They explore whether the industry oversold accessibility, how advisors should think about sizing and liquidity management, and whether this moment marks a structural shift in how private investments are packaged and sold. From private credit crowding to valuation pressures and de-globalization, this conversation goes beyond headlines to tackle the deeper issues shaping alternatives today and why a thorough due diligence process is more important than ever. If you think alternatives are a free lunch — this episode may change your mind.

In this episode of Great Business Minds, João Marques Lima speaks with Krupal Raval, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at CyrusOne, about the forces reshaping global digital infrastructure. With a career spanning leadership roles at Digital Realty, Equinix, and now CyrusOne, Raval has witnessed - and helped shape - the industry's evolution from post-dot-com consolidation to today's AI-driven capital supercycle. The conversation explores how the sector has transformed into what Raval describes as a “land of giants” - an environment where access to capital, power and long-term partnerships increasingly determines who can compete at scale. The AI inflection point According to Raval, the scale of change now underway is without precedent. While traditional cloud infrastructure is forecast to nearly double in capacity over the coming years, AI-driven workloads are projected to expand at multiples of that. The implications are profound: Data centre design is shifting toward higher density and advanced cooling architectures. Capital requirements are moving from billions to trillions. Power strategy is becoming as critical as real estate strategy. At CyrusOne, this has translated into a “power-first” approach - securing long-term energy partnerships and investing in net-new generation capacity to support future growth responsibly. Capital, competition and discipline The episode also examines the structural shift from public to private ownership across the sector, and what that means for long-term value creation. Backed by KKR and BlackRock, CyrusOne operates with a multi-decade investment horizon - a model Raval argues is particularly well-suited to infrastructure cycles of this magnitude. He discusses: Why the industry requires patient capital The risks of overextension amid record demand How to avoid “building snowflakes” in an era of rapid technological change The importance of maintaining operational discipline during hypergrowth Power, community and long-term responsibility Beyond gigawatts and growth projections, Raval emphasises the importance of trust - with employees, customers and communities alike. From energy partnerships in Texas to workforce development initiatives and local engagement programmes, the conversation highlights the delicate balance operators must strike: enabling exponential compute growth without triggering community backlash or grid instability. As AI accelerates discovery across healthcare, materials science and climate research, Raval argues that digital infrastructure is no longer a background utility - it is becoming central to global competitiveness and societal advancement. “In ten years,” he says, “we could see a hundred years of discovery.” Leadership in a hypergrowth cycle The discussion closes on leadership - the role of humility in hiring, the importance of working with people you trust, and the necessity of passion in sustaining performance through relentless growth cycles. Quoting Steve Jobs, Raval reflects on a philosophy that has shaped his career: “You don't hire smart people to tell them what to do. You hire smart people so they can tell you what to do.”

Our hosts explain the main factors schools should be considering when deciding if a private capital investment makes sense for their athletic department, and if so how they should prepare for it. For schools that decide to steer clear of such deals, they will still need to prepare for how massive influxes of cash will change their conference and college athletics as a whole. Private equity or private capital firms are looking for reliable, and predictable revenue streams such as media rights, sponsorships, especially at schools with big brands which have been under commercialized. Areas for fast and sustainable ROI include: Increasing headcount for revenue generation staff (sales and fundraising) Modernizing ticketing and CRM technology Changing incentive structures within the athletic department Larger projects like mixed-use real estate development take more time and capital to institute, but have the potential for massive gains of their own. In preparing for this episode, AJ and Charles spoke with private capital firms as well as conferences and athletic departments to uncover which themes and topics are top-of-mind at the moment. Timestamps: 0:55 - What type of athletic department is attractive to investors? 3:15 - What does it mean to be PE-ready? 10:00 - Does winning solve all problems? 12:45 - Hypothetical: Where would you deploy capital? 18:00 - Why college has lagged behind pro sports 19:25 - FOMO for the schools that don't get on board 23:45 - Changing your financial trajectory in a single season 27:05 - Commons mistakes for athletic departments For more insights, visit our LinkedIn page or learn more about Navigate at https://nvgt.com/.
Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, investors! Scott Carson here, and if this episode hits a little hard, it's coming from a place of tough love! For too long, I've seen too many of you out there with "limited funds" (a thousand bucks, $18,000, or even zero!) trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole, hoping a partial note deal will magically appear. Newsflash: a thousand bucks won't even buy you a decent partial, and all that effort for a "crappy deal" will eat your profits faster than a Texas heatwave!It's time for a come-to-Jesus meeting with that six-to-eight inches between your ears. That "mind block" is your biggest hurdle to success in real estate. If you want to own something, grow wealth, and actually invest, you need to raise private capital. And in 2026, it's not a suggestion; it's a non-negotiable. Stop waiting, stop wishing, and start doing.Here's your 5-pronged approach to getting off your lazy ass and raising capital in 2026:Social Media: Post Like Your Business Depends On It (Because It Does!): Pull your head out of your ass, even if you "hate Facebook." Post daily about deals, case studies, or properties you're evaluating across LinkedIn (easy connections!) and Facebook groups. Use tools like Buffer or Hootsuite if you're a "Powder Puff" too tired after work.Email Your Database (Yes, YOU Have One!): Whether it's 50 or 5,000, your email list is golden. Send regular emails (not just once a month!) about new deals, market insights, or just to say "hey." Remember, 80% of sales are made after the fifth contact – so keep hitting that send button!In-Person Networking: Ditch the Secret Agent Vibe: Get off your couch and hit your local Real Estate Investor Associations (REIAs) or BNI groups. You can't be a "secret agent" and expect to raise capital. Show up, talk to people, and build those connections.Target Self-Directed IRA Investors (They're Everywhere!): Learn to find SDIRA investors by searching county records for "Equity Trust" or other SDIRA companies. Send them postcards, letters, and multiple follow-ups. They have the money, you have the opportunities.Rinse and Repeat (Daily, Not Just When You Feel Like It): The most successful investors do these things again and again and again. Marketing for deals and money is a daily grind, not a weekly wish. If Warren Buffett markets to raise capital, so should you!Stop making excuses. If you hate your job, you owe it to yourself to spend 30 minutes to an hour daily on these activities. It's a small investment of time for a massive payoff. Otherwise, you'll get the same "lazy ass" results as last year. Your family, your goals, your "why" deserve more. So go out, take some action, and let's build you a river of private capital in 2026!Watch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

What does it take to build one of the most influential data and marketing engines in global sport in a market defined by exploding fan demand, new consumption behaviors, and an unprecedented wave of private capital?In this episode, host Linnea Jungnelius sits down with Gareth Balch, Co-Founder and CEO of Two Circles, the sports data and intelligence company working with more than 900 rights holders worldwide — including the NFL, NBA, Premier League, ICC, and World Rugby — and processing nearly two thirds of all global sports fan transactions. Over the last 14 years, Gareth has helped usher sport into its third age of monetization: a world where audience attention, audience affection, and sophisticated data engineering shape the winners.From why sport is the “world's largest religion,” to how fragmented fan behavior is redefining the attention economy, to what it really takes to build a tribe that compounds, Gareth breaks down the forces powering today's global sports boom. For rights holders, private equity investors, and anyone focused on commercial growth in sport, this conversation reveals the playbook behind audience-led value creation, the economics driving white-hot investment, and why knowing your fans best is now the ultimate competitive advantage.What You'll Learn:Why the future belongs to rights holders that grow audience attention + affection fastest.How the biggest leagues and the "innovating middle" are scaling by building tribes, not just selling rights.Why we're entering the third age of sports monetization and who's positioned to win in it.How to engineer real revenue from trillions of fan data points.Where leakage is happening, and how rights holders can recapture value from tech platforms, piracy, and real estate.Why institutional capital is pouring into the sector and where the smartest money is deploying next.Timecodes00:12 Guest Intro: Gareth Balch03:18 The 6B–4B–1.5B Fan Economy04:46 The Third Age of Sports Monetization05:16 The Attention–Affection Model for Valuing Sports IP06:04 Revenue Concentration: Top 20 Leagues Controlling 44%08:06 Sports IP Forecast: Path to $260B by 203309:28 Breakout Performers: SailGP, CFP, The Hundred10:04 Tribe Building: How Smaller Sports Create Outsized Value11:18 Shooting Stars: IPL, UFC, NWSL Growth Flywheel13:00 Women's Sports: Unlocking the Commercialization Gap16:32 Know Your Fans Best: The Ultimate Competitive Advantage22:12 Leakage: Piracy & Value Lost to Platforms24:00 Private Capital in Sports: Why the Category Is “White Hot”27:52 Where Capital Flows Next: IP vs. Tech vs. Adjacencies30:14 Predictive Analytics: Causation Over Correlation33:32 Building a High-Performance Culture36:36 Evolving the Ideal Hire: Attitude vs. Aptitude42:06 Managing the Doom Loop: “Don't Suffer Twice”49:22 Lightning Round: Personal ReflectionsResources:Gareth Balch: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garethbalch/Linnea Jungnelius:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/linneajungnelius X: https://x.com/itslinneaExplore the Podcast:Spotify: https://rebrand.ly/gareth-balch-spotify-podcastApple Podcasts: https://rebrand.ly/gareth-balch-apple-podcastBlog: https://rebrand.ly/gareth-balch-blogFound Value?
The Indiana Hoosiers have their first Heisman trophy winner. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza won the 91st Heisman trophy on Saturday night. He beat out fellow finalists Diego Pavia, Jeremiyah Love and Julian Sayin by a wide margin. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss Mendoza's win and share their thoughts on the quarterback's stellar season. Plus, Andy and Ross share who they voted for. The guys also discuss how the conversation around Mendoza immediately turned to if he will succeed in the NFL. They dive into the NFL's quarterback obsession and where they go wrong when evaluating college quarterbacks. The Heisman ceremony was not the only big event that happened on Saturday. The 126th edition of the Army-Navy game saw Navy take the win for the second straight year. The Midshipmen defeated the Black Knights 17-16 on a late game touchdown pass from Blake Horvath to Eli Heidenreich. Ross was in attendance and shares his experience at the game after the guys share their thoughts on the game.Then, the crew discusses the Big 12's latest news. Last week, Ross shared Utah's news about their private equity deal and the guys said this would open the floodgates. Well, that may be proving to be correct as the Big 12 announced they are close to a private capital deal. Ross shares the story he broke and the crew discusses what the impact of this potential deal could be. Godfrey cautions the risk level of this move.Later, we stay in the Big 12 for some more news. Utah announced that head coach Kyle Whittingham is stepping down. Utah's appearance in the upcoming Las Vegas bowl will be his last game as the leader of the Utes. Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley has long been Whittingham's heir apparent and will be Utah's new head coach. The guys discuss the timing of this move, if this move will work for Utah and Scalley and if this means that we may see Whittingham coaching elsewhere in the future.Get caught up on all things college football with College Football Enquirer.(0:46) - Fernando Mendoza wins the Heisman(23:05) - Ross' Army-Navy game experience/ game recap(30:38) - Big 12's move towards private capital(47:02) - Kyle Whittingham Steps down Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

What happens when a 300-year-old law firm builds its future on client-led growth, global collaboration, and a culture that actually holds up across 29 offices? Laura Cameron, Global Managing Partner of Pinsent Masons, shares how she won a contested election with a vision rooted in people, purpose, and progress. She explains why growth only works when clients lead the way, how culture becomes a selection tool, and why she tests every new hire for "chemistry" before skill. The conversation cuts through leadership theory to reveal what it really means to run a global firm, balancing expansion with consistency, and ambition with care. Can a firm that old still move with agility? And how does a leader stay grounded while steering across continents and time zones? Laura answers both with candor, humor, and the kind of insight that makes longevity look anything but traditional.

Tuesday, November 25, 2025Sliced 56: Empowering Communities Through Private CapitalIn this edition, we look at how private capital is emerging as a critical force for empowering disadvantaged communities in the wake of COP30. From impact investing and microfinance to blended finance and carbon markets, the landscape of community-focused investment is evolving fast. These mechanisms are becoming a live case study in how climate goals, finance architecture, and social equity intersect, and why mobilizing private capital at scale is essential to building resilient, inclusive economies in a destabilizing world.--Sliced is a weekly short-form dispatch released every Tuesday that features original thought pieces from our team members with the goal of slicing apart the various complex aspects of climate finance.

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.

In this episode of The Capital Table, Steve Brady, Market Leader of Transaction Advisory at Withum, welcomes Brent Blankenship, Director, TGIF Originations at Trivest. Steve and Brent discuss the various flavors of non-control private capital and the benefits of each.
It is Friday and that of course means Jonah Booker on the Bucknuts Morning 5. 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.

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.

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.

“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.
