AAPL Constituency Podcast: The Voices Behind the Industry
Elevating the voices shaping private lending
Welcome to AAPL Constituency, the official podcast of the American Association of Private Lenders — where we don’t just discuss private lending, we tell the stories that power it. Hosted by Linda Hyde and Eddie Wilson, each episode takes you behind the numbers and into the narratives of the people driving the industry forward.
From seasoned lenders and innovative service providers to forward-thinking policymakers and entrepreneurs, we uncover the moments, motivations, and lessons that define their journeys. You’ll hear how challenges turned into opportunities, ideas became impact, and connections built a thriving community.
Whether you’re a veteran in private lending, exploring real estate finance for the first time, or simply curious about the forces shaping private capital, this is your seat at the table — where the industry’s most authentic voices share their stories.
