It’s a jam-packed episode of the show this week! The good: our hosts are stoked on the Samsara IPO. The bad: The IRS has seized more than 3.5 billion dollars in crypto assets this year. The ugly: the Better.com CEO fired 900 people over Zoom. Our hosts are excited by some science fiction shit come to life: it’s called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART for short. Shane discovers an interesting aspect of the tax code that hurts single people without children. AJ is excited about the intersection of equity compensation and K-pop with the news that members of BTS experienced a healthy liquidity event. Have a great week kids!
