Welcome back to Part 2 of Season 2, Episode 1 of What the Wealthy Do.


In this continuation of Inside the Rooms We’re Rarely In, Stephanie Dorsey and Yashnika go deeper into one of the most important questions in investing:


Are alternative investments actually right for you?


This episode breaks down:

  • What “suitability” really means in private equity and alternative investments

  • Accredited investor vs. qualified purchaser explained

  • Risk tolerance vs. emotional relationship with money

  • Why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is being challenged

  • How inflation impacts long-term wealth building

  • Why financial education is critical in America today


We move beyond theory and talk about the real barriers — psychological, cultural, and structural — that impact who participates in private markets and who doesn’t.


Because building wealth isn’t just about having money.

It’s about understanding it.
