The next resource rush is not on the moon. It is floating past it.

Joel Sercel, CEO of TransAstra and former JPL engineer, explains why a small population of near-Earth asteroids in highly Earth-like orbits may be easier to access by rocket than the moon's surface, and what that means for the future of the commercial space industry. With capture technology already demonstrated in space, the economics of harvesting asteroid resources may be closer to viable than most people realize.

The intersection of frontier technology and private capital is moving faster than some investors recognize.

There is a third exit option most business owners never put on the table.

An ESOP is a qualified retirement plan that holds your company stock on behalf of your employees, effectively making them the buyer over time. For some owners, it may offer a combination of succession structure, gradual exit, and potential tax efficiency worth considering.

Not every business is a candidate. But if you are thinking about what comes next, this is worth understanding.

AI is replacing stored knowledge faster than most industries anticipated. The workers most affected right now aren't the ones people expected.

Entry-level and early-career roles, particularly those built around applying learned knowledge, are seeing real displacement. What comes next in the progression is less clear. But the pace of change suggests that waiting to understand AI rather than learning to work with it may be a costly delay.

Kevin Lennox and Michael Smith discuss what this shift may mean for employment trends and the broader economic picture.

Life insurance tends to get filed under "necessary but not strategic." For high-net-worth families, that framing may be leaving real planning value on the table.

At a certain level of wealth, life insurance isn't primarily about income replacement. It's about estate liquidity, buy-sell funding, ILIT structures that may reduce taxable estate exposure, and equalizing inheritances across heirs. The policy becomes a planning tool, not just a safety net.

Whether your current coverage reflects where your financial life actually is today is worth knowing.

Many families don't start thinking about this until a diagnosis forces the conversation. By then, some of the most important decisions may no longer be the individual's to make.

Legal capacity has a window. Powers of attorney, trust structures, and succession provisions need to be in place before that window closes, not after. Without them, families often face court proceedings, limited options, and decisions made by someone the individual never would have chosen.

Proactive planning doesn't eliminate the difficulty of cognitive decline, but may help provide families with greater clarity and flexibility in decision-making.

Starting a business offers full creative control. It also means building everything from scratch, with no existing cash flow, no established customers, and no guarantee the market wants what you're building.

Buying an existing business comes with infrastructure already in place. It also comes with someone else's systems, culture, and sometimes hidden liabilities.

Neither path is universally better. The right choice depends on your goals, your risk tolerance, and what you want to do with the wealth you build. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data (which varies by industry and timeframe), approximately 65% of new businesses close within ten years, which is worth factoring into the comparison.

Visit avidianwealth.com to talk through how either path fits your wealth strategy.

“One of the biggest things we focus on is helping clients understand what they’re getting into before they invest.”

While visiting the Blackstone office in New York City, Avidian CIO Jake Borbidge shared insights on private credit, investor education, and how alternative investments can behave differently from traditional public markets.

From diversified private credit portfolios to lessons learned from investing in Texas ranch land, this conversation highlights why thoughtful access to alternatives continues to matter for high-net-worth investors.

Thank you to Blackstone for hosting and for the opportunity to learn from some of the leading professionals in the industry.

A self-directed IRA can hold real estate, private equity, and other alternative assets. It can also generate a tax bill you weren't expecting, or worse, trigger an IRS disqualification that unwinds the entire account.

The rules governing prohibited transactions are strict. The consequences of getting them wrong are significant. And not all custodians are equipped to handle these structures properly.

Self-directed IRAs are legal and may offer real benefits for the right investor. But going in without understanding the landmines can lead to unintended and potentially costly consequences.

The honest answer about AI's impact on employment is that nobody actually knows. That uncertainty itself is part of the risk.

What history does show is that when unemployment moves meaningfully higher, consumer sentiment tends to follow. Spending pulls back. Business investment slows. The feedback loop tends to accelerate in ways that are difficult to reverse quickly.

Whether AI displacement leads to reinvention or contraction is a genuine open question. Positioning a portfolio as though the answer is certain, in either direction, may be the bigger mistake.

Do you still need a will if you have a trust? Yes. A will captures assets not titled in the trust and directs them appropriately. Without one, those assets may pass through probate or in ways that contradict your intentions.

How often should you update your plan? Generally every three to five years, or after a major life event. A plan that made sense when you drafted it may have real gaps today.

What's the most common mistake? Failing to coordinate. Beneficiary designations that contradict the trust, assets not properly titled, and tax strategies developed in isolation can each unravel careful planning.

The documents matter. So does making sure they work together.
