How Litquidity Built a Media Empire Without Ever Showing His Face

from Run Rate · host Kyle Widrick

Hank Medina aka Litquidity built finance's most followed anonymous account at 3AM in 2017 — a side project while still in investment banking that turned into a full media empire. In this episode, Kyle and Hank get into the Litquidity origin story, the Business Insider outing, democratizing access to private markets, and what it actually takes to build a brand from zero while staying anonymous for years. They also get into the state of venture capital, the AI bubble debate, OpenAI's valuation, and why the biggest wealth-creation opportunities of our generation are locked behind doors most people can't open. Plus the inaugural RunRate Rapid Fire — including the most meme-worthy job on Wall Street, the most dangerous word in markets, and whether we're in an AI bubble. 🎙️ RunRate — Finance for the Front Office, by the Front Office.
