What does it really take to build trust in the world of private capital and high-net-worth investing?

In this episode, Zoe is joined by Laura Mann for a fascinating conversation around private capital, alternative investments, and the reality behind wealth-building in global finance. From her early days in UK banking to building powerful networks in Dubai, Laura shares how relationships, credibility, and long-term thinking shape success in a world often misunderstood from the outside.

We dive into the difference between private and public markets, why high-net-worth investors think differently about risk, and how private investments can offer stability away from the day-to-day volatility of traditional markets. Laura also breaks down areas like private credit and litigation funding, while challenging the idea that these opportunities are only for the ultra-wealthy.

This is a really insightful episode for anyone curious about wealth, investing, and what really sits behind the polished image of global finance.
