He spent nearly a decade at Meta, got laid off, looked at his accounts, and realized he never had to go back. Three years into semi-FIRE, Andre Nader writes the FAANG FIRE Substack — helping tech workers turn equity compensation and high income into financial independence and optionality.

In today's episode, Andre breaks down the full FAANG FIRE framework: how to calculate your enough number using the 33x rule, why your RSU selling strategy is probably emotional rather than mechanical, the tax misconception that keeps tech workers holding stock longer than they should, and why the biggest obstacle to FIRE isn't the math — it's giving yourself permission to spend.

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.

The highest inflation in three years has the market pricing in rate hikes. A 38-year Wall Street monetarist thinks that's exactly backwards, and that the Fed is clear to cut.

Today we welcome Jay Hatfield, founder, CEO, and portfolio manager at Infrastructure Capital Advisors, where he runs nine income ETFs. A CPA and Wharton-trained monetary economist with 38 years on Wall Street, Jay makes the contrarian case that the recent inflation spike is a near-term oil-price illusion about to reverse, not the start of a wage-price spiral.

He breaks down why he ignores the labor report, why deficits and strong employment don't drive inflation, and the four or five indicators he actually uses to forecast rates and the business cycle.

This conversation is for investors trying to separate signal from consensus on interest rates, oil, the AI earnings boom, and where to position before the next move. Jay also walks through his DCF on the SpaceX IPO and the "Musk premium" that could push it far above fair value.

Today we're thrilled to welcome Kristin Keffeler, Chief Learning Officer at the JFG Family Office, co-author of Wealth 3.0, and one of the leading practitioners in rising generation development.

Kristin has spent 20 years working with families navigating the psychological and structural challenges of raising children with significant inherited wealth — and is herself a second-generation inheritor who lived the dynamics she now helps others understand.

In this episode, Kristin walks through the well-intentioned messages that stall a child's development, the trust structures that accidentally produce dependent adults, and the disclosure decisions that parents get wrong in both directions.

She introduces the trampoline framework for thinking about inherited wealth — why it lifts children higher when structured correctly, and why it sinks them lower than if they had nothing when it isn't.

Key Topics Covered

• Why the message "I earned this so you don't have to" is more damaging than the wealth itself
• The trampoline framework: how inherited wealth amplifies effort or replaces it
• False scarcity vs. permissiveness — why both extremes backfire
• Self-determination theory applied to parenting: autonomy, competence, and relatedness as a diagnostic framework
• The age-by-age disclosure framework — what to share, when, and what to build before you share anything at all
• The four biggest mistakes wealthy parents make with their children
• The apprenticeship model for trust design — a staged path from beneficiary to co-trustee across the 20s and 30s
• What to include in a letter of wishes that actually works
• How overly controlled trusts can infantilize adult children well into their 60s
• Spending modeling: housekeepers, travel, and what to be thoughtful about as children observe family lifestyle
