5. Getting In Before Everyone Else (IPOs Explained)


Listen Later

Ever wondered what actually happens when a company like Airbnb “goes public”… and why some people make money while others panic-sell?

This episode is about IPOs

You’ll learn:

  • What an IPO really is (and why it’s not a “new company”)
  • What usually happens to prices after the excitement wears off
  • Why waiting can be a power move, not a missed opportunity
  • Where IPOs actually belong in a portfolio (and where they don’t)
  • How to decide if an IPO is worth your attention or something to watch calmly from the sidelines

We walk through a real Airbnb case study so you can see how timing, emotion, and expectations actually play out in real life.

This isn’t about being first. It’s about being intentional.

Listen if you want to stop feeling late, stop chasing hype, and start making grounded, confident decisions when the next “big thing” goes public.

Monthly Action: look up a company that IPO' in the past 3-5 years and have a look at what happened to the price after the IPO.
