About this listen

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.

    AAPL Constituency Podcast #2 - Building Trust at Scale: The Professionalization of Private Lending
    Feb 18 2026

    On this episode of the AAPL Constituency Podcast, hosts Linda Hyde and Eddie Wilson sit down with industry leader Nema Daghbandan to discuss the transformation of AAPL from a sponsorship-driven conference into a member-first association. They cover the importance of principle over profit, the rising professionalization of private lending, and key partnerships like Fortra and Lightning Docs.

    The conversation also gets personal — exploring faith, servant leadership, ego vs. organization, and practical advice Nima would give his younger self. Listen for insights on building trust, standardizing best practices, and the long game of growing a responsible private credit industry.
