Pranav(@vaneckpk):Great episode. Been thinking about this @dsundheim quote a lot: "You have no cash flows and tons of terminal value. I have tons of cash flows, no terminal value. So somehow we're good together." If you run a key-man business — a small hedge fund, solo law practice, independent dental office, boutique agency, owner-operated SaaS, solo RIA — it throws off great cash but the terminal value walks out the door when you do. So should your personal portfolio really be optimized for more yield? Aren't you already the yield? Feels like 60/40 is the wrong approach for that audience. Starting to think the right framework is: lots of cash + high conviction long-duration moonshots. Things with massive terminal value (but could also be 0s) that compound whether or not you show up.
