Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL 022: Anthony Zhang - Pitching Mark Cuban, Overcoming Adversity, and Investing in Fine Wine
For any advisors who are fans of wine and/or investing, this episode is for you!
I’m speaking with Anthony Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Vinovest—an online platform that allows anyone and everyone to invest in fine and rare wine.
In the past, wine investing was exclusively reserved for the ultra-wealthy. However, Anthony figured out how to leverage technology to eliminate barriers and make this lucrative asset class a lot more accessible.
BTW, this isn’t his first startup either. A separate company was backed by Mark Cuban and later acquired when he was only 21 years old. After a successful exit, he went on to start and scale multiple businesses. So, a lot to learn here on growing a team and getting the right people on the bus.
3 of the biggest insights from Anthony Zhang …
- Why wine investing not only delivers delight, but also minimizes taxes and offers consistent returns that have outpaced the stock market.
- The values-first hiring process that allowed Anthony to scale Vinovest into a lean 20-person company that manages 9-figures in assets.
- How Anthony turned adversity into abundance and gratitude after an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.
