Real estate finance doesn’t have to be opaque. In the debut episode of Deal Flow Diaries, we sit down with Eric Goodman, co-founder and managing partner of Goodman Capital LLC, to unpack how disciplined private credit strategies are built—and sustained—across market cycles.

Eric shares the story behind Goodman Capital, a New York–based real estate private credit platform focused on senior-secured lending on high-quality assets, and the principles that have guided the firm through more than a billion dollars in closed transactions. From legacy roots in the 1980s to today’s data-driven approach, this conversation offers a clear, candid look at what conservative underwriting really means in practice.

Join us as we talk about:

• How Goodman Capital structures senior-secured private credit—and why entry point matters more than headlines
• Building a cycle-tested lending platform rooted in family legacy, patience, and disciplined underwriting
• Turning rejection, self-doubt, and nontraditional paths into long-term advantage
• Why breaking self-limiting beliefs around credentials and confidence is essential to building anything meaningful
• The compounding power of mentorship, team-building, and investing in yourself—plus Eric’s outlook on where capital can move safely today

Whether you’re an investor, operator, or simply curious about how real estate deals actually get done, this episode sets the tone for Deal Flow Diaries: thoughtful conversations, real insights, and no fluff.
