Shane is joined by Kody Sherlund for a packed episode covering surveillance cameras, rocket ships, World Cup tax bills, and why the millennial generation is splitting into two very different financial realities. They kick off with the Flock Safety CEO speaking out after the LAPD suspended use of the company's surveillance cameras, and why Shane thinks "we just read license plates" is not the whole story. Then it's on to Anthropic's unusual plan to allow all employees to submit 10b5-1 trading plans post-IPO, what that actually means for the thousands of people sitting on life-changing equity, and why it is a smarter approach than a traditional lockup. Then they dig into the SpaceX IPO, now one of the worst-performing large IPOs in recent history, down 30% to 40% from its peak and sitting well below its debut price. Shane and Kody break down who was really selling at $200 and who is holding the bag. They also get into Spain, potentially owing the IRS a chunk of its $50 million World Cup prize, the corruption history of FIFA, and new Fed research showing that millennial homeownership and wealth are splitting dramatically based on when you were able to buy a home.
