## Resource

Building wealth is one thing. Protecting it, scaling it, and structuring it correctly is another. In this episode of Uncommon Wealth, John McDonough sits down with Jack Mullen, Founder & Managing Director of Summer Street Advisors, to break down how institutional investors think about commercial real estate, private credit, risk management, liquidity, succession planning, and long term wealth architecture. Jack shares insights from his experience at JP Morgan, GE Capital, and leading multi billion dollar CRE advisory engagements. This conversation covers the hidden risks most investors ignore, why private credit is being mispriced, how family offices think differently, and what operators need to understand before scaling serious wealth. If you are building wealth through business, investing, or real estate, this episode gives you a real look into institutional level strategy.
