SpaceX could be one of the most anticipated IPOs since Facebook—and whether it happens this year or years from now, the same IPO dynamics will show up the moment the headlines hit. In this episode, I use explain how IPOs actually work, why the "IPO price" isn't the price most investors can buy, and what tends to happen once trading begins. The goal isn't to talk you out of curiosity—it's to help you keep a long-term plan from getting hijacked by a short-term story.

Listen now and learn:

► The one IPO detail most investors miss—and why it changes how you read every "IPO popped 30%" headline

► How shares really get distributed in a hot IPO, and why access isn't as straightforward as it sounds

► The post-IPO calendar events that can matter more than day one hype

► A simple, portfolio-first way to think about IPOs so your plan doesn't depend on "getting in early"
