## Resource

Credit stress is beginning to reappear in parts of the economy—especially in private credit markets where institutional capital has surged in recent years.In this episode of Exploring Prosperity, I sit down with veteran distressed real estate investor Bill Landis, co-Founder and Managing Partner of Raith Capital Partners, to break down what actually happens when markets stop clearing. We explore how distressed capital restores liquidity, how assets transition into stronger hands, and why this process becomes essential when traditional lenders pull back.If the current strains in credit markets continue to build, understanding this overlooked part of the financial system may be key to understanding what happens next.Topics include: * Early signs of stress in private credit markets * How distressed investors provide liquidity * What happens when financing disappears * Why long periods of calm create hidden risks * What a true credit cycle looks like Subscribe for more conversations on markets, macroeconomics, and what drives long-term prosperity.Read about this episode: https://open.substack.com/pub/robertd...
