#016 Disruption in Finance: The Fall of Banks and the Rise of Private Capital
In this episode of From Worry to Wealth, hosts Ben Lyons and Alex Fink dive deep into one of the biggest financial transformations of the past two decades — the fall of traditional banks and the meteoric rise of private credit. They explore how regulatory changes, like the Dodd-Frank Act, led to massive consolidation in the banking sector and created fertile ground for private lenders, hedge funds, and private equity firms to thrive. Ben and Alex break down the advantages of private credit — from speed and flexibility to higher yields — and reveal how this shift has empowered both investors and borrowers. Drawing from personal experience, they share behind-the-scenes stories from their lending careers and offer practical insights into how individuals can “be the bank” and participate in this growing financial movement.
