How the Smartest Investors borrow against their portfolio, without selling; with SyntheticFi (Ep. 17)

Brent shares why tax strategies should never lead the conversation, how complexity can quietly introduce new risks, and what thoughtful, planning-first investing actually looks like for high-net-worth families. This episode is a grounded look at how to balance opportunity, risk, and long-term wealth stewardship.
