Latest / Founder Mode / Modernizing Prenups with Ronke Oyekunle
Transcript
- 0:00At the end of the day, with all of these clauses and with all of
- 0:03the people go through these prenups, the end goal is not to
- 0:06get divorced. No one goes into a marriage
- 0:08wanting to get divorced, right? Like the goal is like, if you
- 0:11guys are able to talk about these hard things, if you're
- 0:14able to like, sit down and be like, yeah, if we get divorced,
- 0:17who really gets Frodo the dog? If you guys didn't have that
- 0:20conversation? If you can figure out like, hey,
- 0:22if we do get separated, like, what does feel fair for me for
- 0:25you? Because if you guys are on
- 0:27completely opposite sides of things like why is the signal?
- 0:46You're listening to Founder mode.
- 0:47Where we talk to builders rethinking how technology
- 0:50intersects with life and real relationships.
- 0:52Today's episode is about modern love and modern money, and how
- 0:56one founder is transforming prenups into something built for
- 1:00this generation. We'll explore how AI, empathy
- 1:03and financial literacy can actually make relationships
- 1:06stronger, not colder. Jason, you own one of your
- 1:09companies with your wife and you Co founded your first startup
- 1:12with a husband and wife Co founders?
- 1:14Yep. What if you learn from all that?
- 1:16A lot some people when I tell them these things are like what
- 1:19you work with your wife and to be clear, my wife has a day job.
- 1:22She's full time at that she's I would call her the chairman of
- 1:25the board of our company. So you know, every night before
- 1:28bed I get to. As long as her title is above
- 1:29yours, I don't think for. Sure.
- 1:30Yeah, she's she's senior to me. And every night before bed, we
- 1:33have the board meeting. You know, we have a nightly
- 1:35board meeting where she beats me up and tells me all the things I
- 1:37did wrong. But I do think the one thing
- 1:39that, you know, I'm sort of known, loved and hated for is
- 1:42just like, I definitely don't try to like sugarcoat stuff.
- 1:45I pretty much, I'm pretty direct and just say what I'm thinking.
- 1:48And sometimes that offends people.
- 1:49I think it also holds people to a higher bar.
- 1:51Kind of learned that from my dad, which definitely was the
- 1:53more command and control like me growing up.
- 1:55And so I think for me, the, you know, I would say I've evolved
- 1:59in terms of where things go in terms of how I view sort of both
- 2:02partnerships, personal and professional.
- 2:04I think like I've worked best with people that challenge me
- 2:08were when we challenge each other, we sort of both kind of
- 2:10like bring out of the best in each other.
- 2:12And I think I definitely suffer in places where the pressure
- 2:16cracks those that I'm working with because I'm too relenting
- 2:19or I just tune out because it's like, man, they're not getting
- 2:22it and and this isn't going. So I think to me, the magic and
- 2:25sort of what this conversation is that I think is would be
- 2:28helpful in all those domains is the notion of bringing up this
- 2:31conversation 1st and sort of just, you know, sort of asking
- 2:34the tough questions, sort of just thinking through some of
- 2:37that. And so I think with that, I
- 2:39mean, yeah, we should. We should find out what she
- 2:41thinks. Yeah, I think that's right.
- 2:43And I just one more thought that you just made me think of is
- 2:45like both in marriage and business, whether with your life
- 2:48partner or your Co founders, like have the hard conversations
- 2:52before you get into the long term relationship there.
- 2:55Rocky's a Co founder and operator who's redefining how
- 2:58couples plan their future. Her work combines tech, legal
- 3:01expertise and human connection. Yeah, she's helping turn 1 of
- 3:04life's most uncomfortable conversations into moment of
- 3:06clarity, trust and partnership. Kevin, should we bring her on?
- 3:09Let's do it. Rocky, welcome to founder Mode.
- 3:22You're bringing prenups to the modern era.
- 3:24Today we're talking about how AI and honest conversations can
- 3:27strengthen relationships before the paperwork ever shows up.
- 3:30Thank you guys so much for having me, very excited to chat.
- 3:33Yeah, we're, we're thrilled to have you here.
- 3:35This is going to be a fun one. You've called prenups, therapy,
- 3:39people reading and diplomacy rolls into one.
- 3:42What's driving the shift from taboo to empowerment?
- 3:45You know, I would say the biggest driver is just how
- 3:48people talk about and think about my and when I'm saying
- 3:52people really just couples, particularly millennial and
- 3:55Genesee couples compared to our parents generation where money
- 3:59was this tableau topic. Maybe your dad controls the
- 4:03money. Your mom like never really knows
- 4:05what's going on. It's just very different today.
- 4:08Usually both sides of the couple are working.
- 4:11People have money before they're even gay married, right?
- 4:14Because people are now getting married in their 30s, they're
- 4:17gay married even in their 40s. So you already have a career,
- 4:20you already have money going into the relationship.
- 4:23So now it makes marriages and the financial planning you do
- 4:26during marriages, the financial planning you do in case of a
- 4:29divorce much more complicated. So that's a lot of the kind of
- 4:33drivers behind prenups. The other thing is just
- 4:37candidly, I think a lot of people saw their parents get
- 4:39divorced. So there is just this kind of
- 4:42like shift in mentality about how you think about marriage and
- 4:44what you can actually do to prevent divorces, which as you
- 4:48guys probably know, a lot of divorces end up being about
- 4:51money and the inability to communicate about money.
- 4:55And what we saw when we were talking to our friends who are
- 4:58very much, you know, our potential like market for this
- 5:01is the traditional way of doing prenups did not match how
- 5:05couples talked about or wanted their prenups to actually be
- 5:08created. I like it.
- 5:10I, I'm, I'm very curious, just kind of continuing to click on
- 5:15this, this entry point that you've chosen and the explosion
- 5:20in kind of AI and emotional finance and how kind of the
- 5:25world is changing. You've built these tools that
- 5:28use AI to help couples talk about money.
- 5:30How do you make something this emotional feel safe,
- 5:34approachable, and, and you know, not this kind of thing?
- 5:37To your point, that was decades ago, just completely off limits,
- 5:41not OK to talk about. Yeah.
- 5:42So fundamentally I think about the combination of technology
- 5:47plus human experts that's in stock combination that helps you
- 5:51like deliver this product experience that really like
- 5:55resonates with people. So the human experts, right,
- 5:58I'll start there. So we work with some of the best
- 6:01family lawyers in the country and what they bring is obviously
- 6:04the knowledge of family law and how it works, but they also have
- 6:06the knowledge of having navigated couples to really
- 6:09emotional and tough things, whether it's divorce, whether
- 6:12it's prenup and all of that. Based on that, our family
- 6:15lawyers generally have, let's call it like guidelines
- 6:18problems. They have a good idea of like
- 6:21how to have two people, whether they're at the beginning of the
- 6:24marriage or the end of the marriage, have a difficult
- 6:26conversation. So we really relied on them
- 6:28first to have an understanding of the best way to conduct this
- 6:32conversation. And then because it's, you know,
- 6:342025 26, you can actually train an AI based on kind of like the
- 6:40best family lawyers so that at least some of the like high
- 6:43level guidance and all of that can be delivered to clients
- 6:47personalized for like their specific situation.
- 6:50All of our users always start with our AI conversation.
- 6:53It helps educate them. It helps teach them how to talk
- 6:56to their partner, but ultimately still want them at the end of
- 6:59the AI conversation to then work with a human expert who can
- 7:04deliver the kind of, I know the, the value, the way people speak
- 7:10there. There's something that human
- 7:11beings can do that you guys still can't do.
- 7:14And so that's still the, the value you get from talking to
- 7:16the lawyer. And then obviously in delivering
- 7:17the final document, you still want a human lawyer to to
- 7:20overlook the entire process. What made you think that, you
- 7:24know, when you started the company that it could handle
- 7:26something as personal as marriage and finance?
- 7:28And then how have you sort of seen that through these early
- 7:31days of like, hey, it's actually working like, wow, people prefer
- 7:34this over like sort of some other unstructured or open way?
- 7:38Yeah, well, it's like you guys said, like everyone's already
- 7:41using it. Regardless of whether someone's
- 7:44come in to Neptune or not, they are almost certainly using chat
- 7:47or Gemini or Plod to talk about these topics.
- 7:50So these are just like consumer behaviors that are happening.
- 7:53The interesting twist that we've put on things is that generic,
- 7:57call it like ChatGPT or Google AI or all of that.
- 8:01It's OK talking about these hard topics, right?
- 8:04It's fine. But you guys have used ChatGPT.
- 8:07You've seen it go off the the reels and do the like, you're
- 8:09right, like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 8:12You want to keep all of your money to yourself.
- 8:14I think you're justified like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 8:17because you can't get a ChatGPT. You can ChatGPT can say anything
- 8:21to make. You agreeable?
- 8:23Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I think what we saw was that
- 8:26one like this behavior is happening, that people are using
- 8:29AI. The question was like, could we
- 8:31build an AI experience that's actually helps you get to the
- 8:34outcome that you need to get to, which is you don't know how to
- 8:38ask ChatGPT the right questions for you to give you the right
- 8:42responses of how to guide yourself through a prenup or
- 8:45through any other emotional conversation.
- 8:47So when you're going through our AI chat experience, it's
- 8:50essentially been trained specifically on like how to be
- 8:54essentially just like good emotional counselor, money
- 8:57coach, couples counselor for couples.
- 9:01So you get all of the benefits of AI being able to be smart,
- 9:04being able to personalize its response, but it's specifically
- 9:07trained for this use case. And so that's why, like our
- 9:10experience ends up being way better than ChatGPT or Claude.
- 9:14Not surprisingly, most of our users are using ChatGPT or
- 9:18Claude. Some of them even discover us
- 9:20through ChatGPT before they come to our website.
- 9:23But when they come to our website, we consistently get
- 9:27positive reviews for the platform.
- 9:29Vertical AI use cases we talk about all the time on the show.
- 9:32And I think there's definitely a place and you guys have built
- 9:34something that's very specific. And I think that, you know,
- 9:37ChatGPT is a great generalist, but there's, there's, there's a
- 9:40reason why you have this network of attorneys and you've built
- 9:43this kind of corpus of knowledge that's very specific to this
- 9:46challenge, which I, which I love.
- 9:47I love a solution that is more than just a wrapper that
- 9:50involves human, humans are in the loop, right.
- 9:52And so Yep. Exactly.
- 9:53You've actually written about couples navigating, you know,
- 9:57tough things like relocation and salary imbalances.
- 10:00How can financial planning tools help kind of close some of those
- 10:04gaps? I would say two things and I'm
- 10:07going to speak specifically about Neptune.
- 10:09The 2 two ways that the financial planning tools can
- 10:12help. One is with understanding just
- 10:14the the basic realities of the situation.
- 10:17And 2nd is with the emotional navigation of the situation, but
- 10:21just understanding the like realities of the situation.
- 10:24We have tons of like calculators and other guides specifically
- 10:28for, for example, if you're a startup founder or startup
- 10:31employee and you want to understand what happens to your
- 10:33equity when you're getting married, like what the state
- 10:36laws say about what percentage you own, your partner's owns and
- 10:39all of that. Like we have things built out
- 10:41for that. So that's more of the just like
- 10:44calling, understand the practical realities of like
- 10:46what's going on. Then for the emotional
- 10:48navigation, again, this is kind of like where AI comes in and
- 10:52the human experts come in because most of these like big
- 10:55decisions that you're doing like relocate, like I'm, we're
- 10:58relocating to another city for my job and then suddenly my
- 11:02partner's career is not going to be quite the same.
- 11:05Like there's, there's like the reality of it of like, what's
- 11:07the implications on taxes? What's the implication on how
- 11:11much we're going to save or grow investments?
- 11:12And then there's the reality of my partner feeling peeved
- 11:15because sure, like we're making more money, but like, he's now
- 11:19sacrifices something. So I think it's like helping
- 11:23understanding that that's always going on when there are these,
- 11:25like, big decisions with money is like why we've taken this,
- 11:28call it like holistic approach of like, yeah, we'll build A2
- 11:31lane. Yeah, we'll build the AI to help
- 11:33you. But we also want to give you
- 11:34access to the right human beings to help you guys learn how to
- 11:37communicate and talk to each other about these things.
- 11:40Because ultimately, like, it's great to have more money.
- 11:43I certainly love having more money.
- 11:44But your relationship with your partner is the most important
- 11:47thing in in each of your lives. So helping that relationships
- 11:51grow strong and stay strong is like incredibly important.
- 11:54Disclaimer Founder Mode is not an attorney and we are not
- 11:56providing legal advice. Please, thank you.
- 11:58That is written all over. Rocky also not providing legal
- 12:01advice but we are here to help and Neptune is here to help.
- 12:04So, Rocky, now please answer the question.
- 12:07Mardis clauses tend to be around spousal support or alimony, and
- 12:11for anyone who doesn't know, this is what happens if you guys
- 12:14get separated. The richer spouse usually is
- 12:16paying some amount of money on a monthly annual basis to the kind
- 12:20of poorer spouse. It also supports a very weird
- 12:23thing. But yeah, it's also supports
- 12:26very emotionally fraught. Most people come in having some
- 12:30conception of alimony, right? Like you've heard about it in
- 12:33movies. It's what the rich gold digger,
- 12:35the 20 year old rich gold digger like gets from like the 80 year
- 12:39old man that she marries, right? But like, that's the movies.
- 12:42And then all of a sudden you're in a prenup conversation with
- 12:45your partner and you're not having to make decisions about
- 12:48like, hey, what does happen if we get separated?
- 12:50It's one thing if we are both, you know, we're both working
- 12:54right now, which is our typical couple, both maybe there's a
- 12:56little bit of an income difference, but it's not
- 12:58significant. So then it feels like everyone
- 13:00starts the conversation being like, let's just wave spousal
- 13:02support. It doesn't matter.
- 13:04And then you start talking to the attorneys or you talk to our
- 13:06AI and we start talking about like, what if the what if
- 13:10scenarios? What if one of you gets
- 13:12disabled? What if one of you takes a step
- 13:14back when you have children? What if things don't work out?
- 13:18You think your career is going great, but one of your careers
- 13:21stalls. Like what happens in all of
- 13:22those situations? And when people start talking
- 13:25about that, you start having these like realizations about
- 13:29like, what does kind of like fairness mean in your particular
- 13:33relationship? So those tend to be the
- 13:35smartest, like kind of like more complicated like discussions in
- 13:39the prenup up. And I think a lot of couples
- 13:41have really thoughtful approaches to it must to when it
- 13:44applies, when it doesn't and all of that.
- 13:46So those are the ones I really like.
- 13:48And then my favorite clauses just like on the side are the
- 13:53pet custody clauses. So we have maybe I'd say 10 to
- 13:5615% of our couples have some type of clause of about what
- 14:00happens to the dog or the cats if you guys get separated.
- 14:04And on the surface, it seems funny, but then you talk to
- 14:07divorce attorneys and it's like. Children.
- 14:10Yeah, yeah, No, it is. And it's like most states don't
- 14:13consider pets children for obvious reasons.
- 14:16They're considered property. Yeah, exactly.
- 14:18And like, it becomes this huge, contentious thing that divorced
- 14:23couples go through. Just being able to, like figure
- 14:26out a lot of that stuff early is incredibly helpful.
- 14:29At the end of the day, with all of these clauses and with all of
- 14:33the people go through these prenups, the end goal is not to
- 14:36get divorced. No one goes into a marriage
- 14:38wanting to get divorced, right? Like the goal is like, if you
- 14:41guys are able to talk about these hard things, if you're
- 14:44able to like, sit down and be like, yeah, if we get divorced,
- 14:47who really gets Frodo the dog? If you guys didn't have that
- 14:50conversation, if you can figure out like, hey, if we do get
- 14:52separated, like what does feel fair for me for you?
- 14:56Because if you guys are on completely opposite sides of
- 14:59things, like that is a signal, that is a signal about how
- 15:02you're thinking about money, how you're thinking about values and
- 15:04all of that. So if you can get through the
- 15:06prenup conversation, ultimately you're actually are less likely
- 15:10to get divorced. That is like the craziest thing
- 15:12about prenup. It's this huge insurance policy
- 15:15for divorce. It's all of this stuff, but like
- 15:17just going through the process and makes you less likely to get
- 15:20divorced. So again, the smartest cause
- 15:22because it is, it is, but it's like the smartest clauses are
- 15:25essentially the clauses that I wouldn't say cause you to fight,
- 15:28but cause the most discussion with you.
- 15:30Because then once you get through that process, like
- 15:33almost all of our clients like talk about the sense of like
- 15:35relief and the sense of like, like we got through this, we can
- 15:39talk about this. I think that there is.
- 15:40There's something here that's really interesting.
- 15:42I grew up in a family that my parents are still together.
- 15:45We're together and they, I think they instilled in me this weird
- 15:49thought. They're like, you shouldn't like
- 15:51have a prenup, like you're supposed to marry for love and
- 15:54for life and like it's going to be amazing.
- 15:56And, and my parents wouldn't fight in front of us and my
- 15:58brother and I. And so we had no idea that there
- 16:00was any conflict in the relationship.
- 16:01So completely unrealistic view of what relationships are.
- 16:04And I think what's refreshing about this, and I'd be curious
- 16:06to get your take is like, it almost just feels like there's a
- 16:09massive education gap like that. There's just, and so how are
- 16:12you, How are you closing that gap?
- 16:14And then just to kind of pivoted a little bit into the founder
- 16:16mode conversation, like we got a lot of founders that listen to
- 16:19the show that are building companies that are, you know,
- 16:22doing their 83 BS and QSBS stacking and trying to set it up
- 16:25for generational wealth. And they have no idea where to
- 16:28start with this stuff. So like, what's the mistake to
- 16:31avoid? What's the thing to do and how
- 16:32to how do we going to tie this back to hey, it's great to be in
- 16:35love, but also maybe. Yeah.
- 16:37Now the yeah, at its core, it starts with education like you
- 16:42said. So again, This is why the AI
- 16:44that we have is specifically trained to ask you the right
- 16:48questions upfront and in the way to ask questions.
- 16:52It's essentially teaching you how things work.
- 16:54So I'll use spousal support for an example.
- 16:56Like usually when people go through AI chat on the prenup
- 16:59side of things, it starts asking questions like, oh, like have
- 17:02you, you know, you indicated to me that your founder, your
- 17:05partner is like, let's say a doctor.
- 17:09Have you guys ever talked about spousal support?
- 17:11Like right now, you know, you're making a lot more than she is.
- 17:14And so most people will say no, because most people have not
- 17:16talked to their partner about spousal support for obvious
- 17:19reasons. And then we'll start teaching
- 17:20you like, hey, here are the some of the basics of how spousal
- 17:23support works in your state. Here is typically what couples
- 17:26like you do. So here are three options for
- 17:28couples like you do. Which options are resonating
- 17:31with with you? Which options are do you still
- 17:34have questions on? So that kind of like Q&A
- 17:37process, but like not you asking the questions, it's us asking
- 17:40the questions actually works incredibly well at educating
- 17:44people on whether it's prenup topics or not.
- 17:47As we're starting to expand into a state planning, a state
- 17:50planning topics, right? Because the questions you may
- 17:53have about prenups might be more about like, OK, how do we
- 17:55negotiate between what's good for me versus what's good for
- 17:58you? With estate planning, it's more
- 18:00about like who are going to be the guardians for our children?
- 18:03What do we think about what's appropriate to leave to our
- 18:06children, to other people who are not our children?
- 18:09How do we want to distribute things to our children?
- 18:11Is it do I want to give everything to my kids at 18?
- 18:14Do I think they need some type of trust that distributes it
- 18:17over time? All of that and all of those
- 18:19conversations are certainly, again, it's just like there's
- 18:23factual parts of it, but it's also conversations about values.
- 18:26It's informed by how you grew up.
- 18:28It's informed about how you think about money and all of
- 18:31that. So yeah, I'd say start with
- 18:33education, let an expert kind of lead the questioning of you to
- 18:38get to the like facts of how you think about things, and then we
- 18:42basically take it from there. How do you guys think about that
- 18:45as like just a road map for the company And like how much of
- 18:47that do you feel like in the next year or so you guys sort of
- 18:50like branch into like kind of this call it financial architect
- 18:53of the sort of partnership outside of like the print of
- 18:56being I think a pretty incredible wedge?
- 18:58Yeah, a good question. So we see ourselves as
- 19:02essentially acting as this financial legal concierge for
- 19:06couples that helps them figure out their values, figures out
- 19:10what they want in life and then helps them actually deliver that
- 19:13outcome. So to your point with your
- 19:16friends, the biggest gap as you get older is the long list of
- 19:20all the things you don't know, you don't know.
- 19:23And I think starting from that perspective of I'm not going to
- 19:27go out there and just specifically advertised, we're
- 19:30doing trust and we're helping you with irrevocable life
- 19:33insurance trust because most people don't even know what that
- 19:36is. But if I tell you that, hey, you
- 19:39have two kids, you're XYZ age, there's a long list of things
- 19:44that you need to do in order to maximize how much money goes to
- 19:48your kids in a trust situation or maximize how much earnings
- 19:53you're keeping or, you know, protect your parents or protect
- 19:57your spouse. Then all of a sudden you're
- 19:59like, oh, great, and you're going to tell me what to do and
- 20:02like handle the things for me. Like that's kind of what's been
- 20:05resonated with our clients as we've started to talk about this
- 20:08expansion beyond prenups. So that's how I would say we
- 20:11think about it, which is first, like, what are the kind of like
- 20:14long list of things that we can do?
- 20:16And then because we're a business and we have to make
- 20:18money targeting specific. Demographics with prenups, it's
- 20:21very much around people who are getting married the other the
- 20:24next kind of like big mouse and we're looking at in addition to
- 20:27that are people who are early parents of children.
- 20:30When you're having your first child or your second child, it's
- 20:33just this list of things that you need to do and everyone just
- 20:36kind of knows they need to do it, but they don't actually do
- 20:39it because someone has to do the research, someone has to do the
- 20:41signing up, someone has to like educate me and all of that.
- 20:44And it just it feels like it's important, but it never feels
- 20:47like I have the time to do it. So let's take load off of you,
- 20:51you know, like come to us, we'll handle it.
- 20:54We'll give you the high level education that you need for
- 20:56things, and then we'll have our experts and our team handle the
- 20:59rest. So let's talk about the future,
- 21:02let's talk about the category, right?
- 21:04Like I think with everything, AI is creating so much opportunity.
- 21:07But when you look ahead, you know, you've talked about estate
- 21:09planning beyond the prenup. Is it AI driven estate planning?
- 21:13Is it relationship fintech, something entirely new?
- 21:15Like where? Where is this category going and
- 21:17how? How are you and Neptune thinking
- 21:19about that? I think about it just from
- 21:21what's the outcome that we're going to provide to people and
- 21:25then what are the tools that we can use to provide that outcome?
- 21:29So outcome is you feel like you, your partner, your family are
- 21:34set up, that you are set up with the right trust, you're set up
- 21:37with the right taxes, you're set up with the right prenups,
- 21:39you're set up with the right everything.
- 21:41And we've taken care of that. Now our way to deliver that is
- 21:44going to always be a mix of AI plus human experts is going to
- 21:48get keep getting better. Like I, I think that that is
- 21:50going to happen for sure. I will make a bet, I'm clearly
- 21:53making a bet on that and starting this company.
- 21:55But I am also a huge, huge believer in the power of human
- 21:58connection and the power of like human experts.
- 22:01And at the end of the day, I would not trust a totally AI
- 22:05generated trust. I'm sorry, I'm not putting all
- 22:07of my hard work into an AI generated trust and then being
- 22:11like, great, that's like that's all set.
- 22:13I want to talk to a human being. Most people want to talk to a
- 22:15human being. I think what changes over time
- 22:18is how much is done by the AI versus the human.
- 22:21But the human is always going to be in the loop.
- 22:23The AI is always going to be there has kind of like this
- 22:25associate helping with a lot of the work and then the outcome,
- 22:29as long as a good outcome is delivered to you, as long as
- 22:32like you, I feel confident about my financial.
- 22:35I like financial architect Kevin, by the way, I'm going to
- 22:38meal on that, on that wording. But my financial architects are
- 22:41not to have structured things properly for me.
- 22:43As long as that's happening, I think that's all our customers
- 22:46care about. But yeah, AI plus humans is kind
- 22:51of the way for the future. Yeah, I fully agree.
- 22:53I think that the magic ends up being in this sort of like
- 22:57really finding the best. I think the financial
- 22:59architects, actually one of the names I gave one of my chat
- 23:01agents, because I think part of it is like really doesn't
- 23:03honestly like, because if you think about it, it's like, hey,
- 23:06look, here's what, here's what I know today.
- 23:08Here's where I need to go. Tell me all the things I'm
- 23:11missing. Like a random one.
- 23:12For me that was like disability insurance, like when I was like
- 23:15first work. It's like, man, like what
- 23:17happens if I like, you know, go out and I, you know, catch my
- 23:19bike in the spokes of my, you know, chain and like I lose my
- 23:22fingers. I'm like, dude, all I do is
- 23:25type. Like if I can't type, like we
- 23:26didn't have the voice to text we have now, maybe I'd be OK today,
- 23:29but you know, 15 years ago, 16 years ago, my daughter was born,
- 23:32we didn't have that. And so I think there's, you
- 23:33know, just different levels that, you know, you don't think
- 23:36about. And it's pretty interesting.
- 23:37So man, this has been incredible.
- 23:39Like, where can people follow you, follow your work?
- 23:41Like if they want to know more about dude, how do they sort of
- 23:43get connected? So obviously our website first
- 23:46meetingneptune.com are doing a pretty big overhaul over the
- 23:50next few weeks. So you'll start to see a lot
- 23:53more of the services I'm talking about today beyond prenups,
- 23:56which is exciting. And then Wicked in I post a lot.
- 23:59Jason, thank you for reading all of my many posts about the
- 24:03couples that that we have. Yeah, I told us a lot about just
- 24:07the stories that we share and some of the anecdotes that have
- 24:11been helpful. And I think just sharing what
- 24:13other people are going to has always been very helpful for for
- 24:16many of our couples. So you can find me there too.
- 24:18Awesome. Any, any kind of offers or
- 24:20anything we should share with the founder audience for
- 24:22Neptune? That's Ronke 100.
- 24:25So that's my name. RONKE 100 for $100 off any of
- 24:32our services. Nice.
- 24:33Great. Well, we'll include that in the
- 24:34show notes. This has been so smart grounded,
- 24:37so relevant to the conversation in the in the time that we're
- 24:40in. Thank you so much for joining
- 24:42us, Rocky. Thank you guys for having me,
- 24:44this has been a lot of fun. That was a great conversation.
- 24:46Yeah, I enjoyed it. Felt different than some of the
- 24:48things we talked about. You know, for me at least, like
- 24:51the whole this isn't just an AI wrapper.
- 24:53There's humans in the loop. There's lawyers there that are
- 24:55hoping to craft the right planning for these couples
- 24:58thinking about, you know, getting married and then their
- 25:01future road map around having kids and estate planning.
- 25:04So I think it's a super interesting time to build on top
- 25:06of all this technology that you and I talk about every episode.
- 25:08Kevin, what were your top five takeaways from today's
- 25:11conversation? Yeah, I agree, super practical
- 25:13episode and just real, you know, real good use of AI when I think
- 25:16a lot of cases we we don't get as excited or it looks like a
- 25:18rapper. I think this one's like, you
- 25:20know, there's a lot of meat there and I think that's
- 25:21exciting. So I think the the top five that
- 25:23I saw was one, was this like couples are now entering
- 25:26marriage later. So they have assets, careers and
- 25:28sort of potentially some early, but you know, in the later
- 25:31years, financial asymmetry and then, you know, prenups really
- 25:34create this structured way to talk about money early.
- 25:37And three, you know, Jenna, I really validates feelings and
- 25:40vertical AI really guides couples into resolution.
- 25:43It's like really looking for something deeper to find an
- 25:45answer. And then for, you know, AI
- 25:47prepares conversations, but human experts actually handle
- 25:50the nuance and decisions and actually get it, you know, kind
- 25:52of set up correctly. And then finally, the hardest
- 25:55clauses surface values and often strengthen relationships.
- 25:58Yep. If this episode made you think
- 26:00differently about love, money, or planning for the future,
- 26:03share it with someone who's navigating that same journey
- 26:05right now. And if you haven't already,
- 26:06subscribe to Founder Mode and we'll keep bringing you the
- 26:09conversations, the challenge, how we think about building
- 26:11companies, relationships and ourselves.
- 26:13That's it for today, because modern relationships deserve
- 26:16modern systems.
