You're Building the AI Boom. Do You Own Any of It?
You've spent the year shipping AI that's reorganizing entire industries. When did you last point any of that rigor at your own balance sheet?
The irony is uncomfortable: the people building the AI revolution are often not personally invested in it beyond the stock they hold in their own companies. Meanwhile, AI is quietly changing how money works. Basic investing tasks like allocation, rebalancing, and tax planning have become automated and cheap. For the first time, passive funds are more popular than active ones, which makes sense considering that about 90% of professional managers fail to beat a simple index over 15 years.

Our guest speaker, John Huo spent ten years on offshore oil and gas platforms before ever managing a ringgit of anyone's money. That world taught one definitive lesson: the people who got rich weren't the wildcatters chasing the next gusher. It was the ones who owned the pipelines, the rigs, and the choke points that everything had to flow through.
So the real question isn't "what should I buy." It's sharper, and it's the one this session is built around: in a world where the machine does the easy 80%, what's still worth your human judgment — and what should you let the algorithm, or a professional, handle for you?
In a focused 60 minutes, we'll look at the data on how AI is reshaping finance, the specific mistakes smart-but-busy builders make with their money, and a clean framework for deciding where you actually fit. Come for an honest conversation among peers about the one system most of us leave unoptimized.
3 Main Takeaways
You'll walk away with:
1. A clear-eyed map of how AI is rewiring money management
The $725B hyperscaler buildout, passive funds overtaking active for the first time in history, and robo-advisors now running ~$11 trillion. What's hype, what's structural, and what it means for you.
2. The 4 expensive default mistakes high-earning builders make
Starting with being dangerously over-concentrated in the stock of the company that signs your paycheck and the one-line fix for each.
A simple framework to decide what to automate, where human judgment still pays, and what to delegate so that you stop guessing and actually own the boom you're helping build.
