About this episode

This episode discusses market behavior and investment strategies amidst recent volatility, highlighting key risks and opportunities in various sectors.

After weeks of volatility, markets finally delivered a positive stretch—and that shift in sentiment may be more important than the gains themselves. This episode breaks down what a “risk-on” week really signals, from investors holding positions over a turbulent weekend to early signs of a potential market bottom. We connect the dots between macro headlines like geopolitical tension and market behavior, while also zooming in on what’s happening beneath the surface in private equity, private credit, and retail investor exposure. The conversation highlights a key question every investor should be asking right now: where is the real risk hiding ? We also dive into the evolving investment landscape—from the growing complexity inside private markets to the massive implications of a potential SpaceX IPO and renewed IPO activity. Along the way, we explore opportunities emerging from beaten-down sectors like banks and software, the long-term impact of AI infrastructure buildouts, and why discipline, time allocation, and perspective matter just as much in life as they do in investing. Whether you’re navigating uncertainty or looking for your next edge, this episode is all about thinking…
