    The AI Arms Race: Why Most Investors Are Getting It Wrong

    Is AI a bubble? Tad Fallows and Sriram Gollapalli break down how to invest in AI in 2026 — starting with the warning Warren Buffett gave the tech elite at Sun Valley in July 1999: a transformative industry and a rewarding investment are not the same thing. Eighteen months later the dot-com crash proved him right, and his warning is being repeated today. Ten stocks now make up nearly 40 percent of the S&P 500, and $18 of AI infrastructure spending goes out for every dollar of AI software revenue. The greatest buildout in market history, or the most expensive echo of 1999? This conversation started as a thread inside Long Angle: a member asking whether he'd missed the Anthropic trade. Tad and Sriram follow the AI money through the stack — natural gas and power stocks, data centers, NVIDIA and the revenue-recognition accounting behind chip profits, frontier models and where vendor lock-in lives — and what each of them is buying today. They close with how private investors reach pre-IPO deals like the Anthropic SPV, and the fee traps to check before you invest. 🔔 Please Subscribe and Hit the Bell: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Discover More From Long Angle 👉 Blog: https://www.longangle.com/blog 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast 👉 Beyond Wealth Newsletter: https://langle.co/bwnews 👉 Research & Studies: https://www.longangle.com/research ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Resources & Links 👥 Become a Member: https://longangle.com/navigatingwealth 📤 Get Episode Release Notifications: https://www.longangle.com/navigating-wealth-podcast ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Socials 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/long-angle 🅧 Twitter/X: https://x.com/LongAngleHNW 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw Long Angle is a private, vetted global community of accomplished entrepreneurs, executives and professionals who have reached meaningful financial milestones and want to navigate wealth with peers who understand their challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and ambitions. Hosted by the founders of the Long Angle community, Navigating Wealth explores how experienced investors, founders and operators approach the real questions wealth creates, from private markets and capital allocation to business exits and life design. Learn whether the AI boom is a bubble and where the money goes whoever wins. Stop trying to pick the winning model company and look at the layers underneath instead. Most people think playing the AI trade means betting on a frontier model, but if you own an S&P 500 fund, you have already made the AI bet - ten stocks are a record share of the index. The conversation walks through the picks-and-shovels layers trading at reasonable multiples: natural gas and power, chips and networking, and the revenue-recognition disconnect flattering today's earnings. We cover the $30 trillion question both Anthropic and SpaceX have put in front of investors, including what each host is buying today and the two checks that keep private-market investors from getting burned: are you on the cap table, and what are the total fees? If you want exposure to the next Anthropic without the lottery-ticket odds, this breakdown shows how members approach it.

    Buy, Borrow, Die Has a Gap. Life Insurance Closes It - Dave Valcourt

    Today we're thrilled to welcome Dave Valcourt, VP of Business Development at Financial Architects Partners, part of NFP, one of the largest insurance brokers in the country. Dave has spent almost twenty years in life insurance as an independent broker who supports the full spectrum of policies, from term life to whole life to private placement life insurance, and canvasses more than twenty carriers to match each product to each client's situation. In this conversation, Dave explains where the industry's pushy reputation comes from and why commissions on a traditional permanent policy can reach 90% of a first-year premium, maps what term, whole life, GUL, IUL, VUL, and PPLI are each built for, and walks through premium financed life insurance - the strategy where a private bank lends the premium directly to a trust, so the money arrives without gift tax and whole life cash value serves as collateral at a 95% advance rate. 🔔 Please Subscribe and Hit the Bell: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Discover More From Long Angle👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast👉 Beyond Wealth Newsletter: https://langle.co/bwnews👉 Research & Studies: https://www.longangle.com/research━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Resources & Links👥 Become a Member: https://longangle.com/navigatingwealth📤 Get Episode Release Notifications: https://www.longangle.com/navigating-wealth-podcast━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Socials💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/long-angle🅧 Twitter/X: https://x.com/LongAngleHNW📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw Long Angle is a private, vetted global community of accomplished entrepreneurs, executives and professionals who have reached meaningful financial milestones and want to navigate wealth with peers who understand their challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and ambitions.

We discuss a working litigator’s view of AI tools for lawyers: what they genuinely speed up, where they still fail, and why he calls AI an average intelligence. The conversation covers how AI inverted the way lawyers build a case, whether the billable hour survives, and what happens when clients arrive with ChatGPT legal advice that is confident but wrong.  Kartik also answers the question on every desk - will AI replace lawyers? - and shares his warning about what you type into a chatbot. 🔔 Please Subscribe and Hit the Bell: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Discover More From Long Angle👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast👉 Beyond Wealth Newsletter: https://langle.co/bwnews👉 Research & Studies: https://www.longangle.com/research━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Resources & Links👥 Become a Member: longangle.com/navigatingwealth📤 Get Episode Release Notifications: https://www.longangle.com/navigating-wealth-podcast━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Socials💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/long-angle🅧 Twitter/X: https://x.com/LongAngleHNW📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw Long Angle is a private, vetted global community of accomplished entrepreneurs, executives and professionals who have reached meaningful financial milestones and want to navigate wealth with peers who understand their challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and ambitions.

    Is 60/40 Too Risky Once You’re Wealthy? - David Stein

    Today we’re thrilled to welcome David Stein, former chief investment strategist at institutional advisory firm FEG and host of the Money for the Rest of Us podcast. David spent close to two decades advising endowments, foundations, and institutional clients before turning to teaching individual investors how markets work and building the market analysis tool Asset Camp. In this conversation, David makes the case that a 60/40 portfolio is too risky when the goal is preserving generational capital, explains how the S&P 500 has drifted toward a concentrated, AI-heavy benchmark trading near record valuations, and walks through his own “asset garden” - a portfolio of roughly 20% stocks alongside gold, crypto, private capital, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, and catastrophe bonds. 🔔 Please Subscribe and Hit the Bell: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Discover More From Long Angle👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast👉 Beyond Wealth Newsletter: https://langle.co/bwnews👉 Research & Studies: https://www.longangle.com/research━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Resources & Links👥 Become a Member: longangle.com/navigatingwealth📤 Get Episode Release Notifications: https://www.longangle.com/navigating-wealth-podcast━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Socials💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/long-angle🅧 Twitter/X: https://x.com/LongAngleHNW📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw Long Angle is a private, vetted global community of accomplished entrepreneurs, executives and professionals who have reached meaningful financial milestones and want to navigate wealth with peers who understand their challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and ambitions.

    Illiquid Assets You Can't Sell? Borrow Against Them - Alex Branton

    Alex Branton runs NAV lending at Nodem Capital, one of the few firms financing the illiquid end of private wealth, where he sees roughly 150 portfolios a year and underwrites about 20.  He breaks down why banks won't lend against private equity and venture no matter how large the portfolio, and how to weigh borrowing against a private book versus selling it at a steep secondary discount.  If you're holding illiquid assets you can't easily sell, he lays out what separates a facility worth taking from one that quietly turns debt into equity risk. 🔔 Please Subscribe and Hit the Bell: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Discover More From Long Angle👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingWealthPodcast👉 Beyond Wealth Newsletter: https://langle.co/bwnews👉 Research & Studies: https://www.longangle.com/research━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Resources & Links👥 Become a Member: longangle.com/navigatingwealth📤 Get Episode Release Notifications: https://www.longangle.com/navigating-wealth-podcast━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Socials💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/long-angle🅧 Twitter/X: https://x.com/LongAngleHNW📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw Long Angle is a private, vetted global community of accomplished entrepreneurs, executives and professionals who have reached meaningful financial milestones and want to navigate wealth with peers who understand their challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and ambitions.
