Episode #235: Invest Smart Takeaways & Behind the Scenes with Joe Fang and Andy Huang

Gary Lipsky Episode 235

The dust has barely settled on the Invest Smart Summit 2025, curated by Break of Day Capital, and today, fellow colleagues Andy Huang and Joe Fang join Gary to unpack everything that happened in our third major summit (after the first two focused on real estate and asset management). Andy begins the conversation by explaining why he was more excited about his own panel than others before Joe shares some love for Gary and Ryan Kennedy’s presentations. Then, we discuss key takeaways from the Beyond the High, Mastering Money, and Inside the Mind of a Passive Investor panels, and Andy explains the importance of Break of Day Capital’s commitment to reporting and transparency. We also discover from Gary’s three-summit experience what resonates the most with attending investors, and our three hosts dream of their ideal lineup for future summits. To end, we revisit our favorite speakers from 2025, why we believe that this was a successful and well-rounded event, what to look forward to in the next installment, and how to download all recordings of the Invest Smart Summit 2025.
