Teague Talks with Michael Lipson, Access Point Financial

This week, Teague sits down with Michael Lipson, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Access Point Financial. As the leader of a lending platform focused on hospitality, Michael shares how Access Point is navigating today’s financial market with both discipline and creativity. Together, they explore why flexibility in a lender matters more than ever, how capital providers are interpreting today’s geopolitical pressures, and where Michael believes smart money is likely to flow across key assets and markets in the months ahead. Michael also challenges us to question whether our outlook on interest rates is being shaped more by economic fundamentals or political narratives—and how that underlying bias can quietly influence our next moves.
