Warren Buffett just made one of the biggest announcements in Berkshire Hathaway history — and we were there to witness it.

In this episode of the Investing Mastermind Podcast, Michelle Marki and Signe Lønholdt dive into what really happened at the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha. Signe attended in person and shares behind-the-scenes moments, big takeaways from the Q&A, and the emotional impact of Buffett revealing that Greg Abel will officially step in as CEO in 2026.

We also unpack what this means for the future of Berkshire, whether the annual pilgrimage to Omaha will continue, and why this year’s meeting felt so different — from emotional reactions in the crowd to activist questions on energy and sustainability.

Oh, and yes… we talk about Signe’s viral $100 bill money lei 😄
