We begin with a question from a tech professional whose company may be heading toward an AI-driven IPO. With valuations moving quickly and equity packages growing more complex, we walk through how to think about RSUs, ISOs, AMT exposure, and concentration risk without planning around assumptions that may never materialize.

Next, we clarify the timing rules around IRA contributions and Roth conversions. Many investors fund an IRA up until the tax filing deadline, but conversions operate on a different calendar. We break down how the two interact and what that means for planning.

Finally, in today’s From the Field segment, Stephan speaks with Robyn Sechler of GoodTrust and Securing Memories. Robyn shares how families can preserve photos, recordings, and personal stories in a structured digital legacy that becomes accessible for future generations.
