In this episode of the Next Level Income Show, host Chris Larsen sits down with Ellis Hammond, Vice President at Aspen Funds, to explore one of today’s hottest investment strategies—private credit. Learn how private credit works, where it fits in the capital stack, and why it offers compelling returns with reduced risk in today’s economic climate.

With over $600 million under management, Aspen Funds leverages macroeconomic trends to guide their strategy across real estate, energy, and alternative investments. Ellis shares real-world deal structures, insights into the evolving bank lending environment, and how non-bank lending is filling the financing gap.

If you're an accredited investor, interested in diversifying your portfolio, or simply curious about how to earn bank-like risk with equity-like returns, this episode is a must-watch.
