On this special episode of Invested, Michael Eisenberg curates the most compelling conversations and sharpest ideas from across our 2025 episodes. From Gavin Baker’s contrarian argument that climate change is already economically solved, to Nas Daily’s declaration that followers - and organic reach - are effectively dead, this episode captures the ideas that sparked the most debate, reflection, and conviction.
We revisit investing legends through Sender Cohen’s comparison of George Soros and Stan Druckenmiller, explore post-acquisition realities inside Big Tech with Noam Bardin’s unfiltered reflections on Google, and unpack how companies like Fiverr and Wix reinvent perception and scale by building boldly for their next ten million users.
