Private Equity Professionals - Podcast Format & Exits

Building a podcast on private equity, business exits & social wealth... genuinely stuck on format and opening the floor to people who've been in the space Hey everyone! I'm building a podcast and Substack called Capital Trust, focused on social wealth, private market & equity, business operations, and exit strategies. The kind of conversations that usually happen behind closed doors. I've been validating demand across different platforms and industries and the interest has been real. Now I'm at a decision point before full production, and I want honest input from people who actually think about this stuff. Three paths on the table: Option 1 — Solo anchor season. I drive the conversation, ships faster, lower overhead. Establishes the voice and format before scaling. Option 2 — Middle path. Launch solo but bring in contributed takes from practitioners while building toward a full guest format over time. Speed with some depth. Option 3 — Full production from day one. Guest expert roundtables with people working in PE, business turnaround, and wealth strategy. Highest impact but requires full funding and a real team... which means a bigger budget to pay back on the back end. But I also want to open the floor beyond just my situation : If you're building something in this space, navigating a business acquisition, working through an exit, or just have insider knowledge on how wealth and ownership actually moves? I want to hear from you too. What do people not talk about enough in PE, business turnaround, or exit strategy? What would you actually want a podcast to cover that no one is covering honestly? Happy to swap context in the comments or DMs. Not here to promo ❌ genuinely at a crossroads and this community has the kind of perspective worth listening to.
