The world of wine investment is often seen as an exclusive realm accessible to the affluent and connoisseurs. This perception is changing, thanks in part to Anthony Zhang, the co-founder and CEO of Vinovest. 

Vinovest is a revolutionary platform committed to democratizing wine investment by reducing cost—and complexity—for the average investor. 

It not only empowers you to tap into the world of wine investment but allows you to savor the taste of exquisite fine wines while providing the opportunity of returning a profit. Imagine sipping on a Bordeaux or Burgundy with the potential to watch your portfolio grow.

At 21, Anthony suffered a devastating injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Rather than succumbing to despair, he displayed remarkable grit, steering his first business from the confines of a hospital room.

Against all odds, he scaled and transitioned out of that company—a monumental achievement. He’s used that same mindset to build Vinovest. Listen in for some great takeaways about Anthony’s entrepreneurial journey. His story serves as a reminder that you can overcome any obstacle with the right mindset.

Larry Sprung Host Mitlin

Lawrence “Larry” Sprung, CFP® is a husband, father, entrepreneur and mental health advocate.

Larry is the author of the Amazon Bestselling book “Financial Planning Made Personal” and the also host of the Mitlin Money Mindset™ a podcast that reminds you to ask yourself “What did you do today that brought you joy?®”

In 2004 he founded Mitlin Financial, Inc. naming the firm memory of Larry’s wife’s grandfather, Mitchell, and his mother, Linda. During his career, Larry has found that a lot of industry terms and concepts can seem confusing to outsiders. That’s why he works with the families he serves to break down complex financial topics into easy-to-understand concepts.

In recognition of Larry’s significant contributions to his profession, he has received quite a few awards. In 2021, Larry was named to the Investopedia 100 Top Advisors in 2021 and was even more humbled to make their Top Ten list for 2022.

Outside the office, one of Larry’s greatest passions is raising awareness for mental health. He spent over 12 years serving on the National Board of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and sits on its financial and investment committees. With his wife, Denise, he has raised more than $1.7 million for the organization through the Keith Milano Memorial Fund. The fund was created in memory of his brother-in-law.

Larry values his family tremendously and his desire to do right by his wife and two sons drives who he is in and out of the office.
