Billion-Dollar Breakups, ChatGPT 5, and How to Navigate Your 401(k) - Episode 154
Description
In this episode of The Liquidity Event, Shane and Kurtis dive into the start of Tax Planning Season at BKFi, unpack Figma's billion-dollar breakup, and discuss when employees can finally sell their shares. They explore why Silicon Valley's free perks are disappearing, what the rise of generally intelligent AI could mean for your work, and how new rules are letting you put real estate, crypto, and private equity into your 401(k). Plus, the debate over being friends with your kids, whether spending 60% of your net worth on a "forever home" is ever a good idea, and a fresh take on the "core and explore" investing strategy.
