After sold-out events in Atlanta and London, Earn Your Leisure returns with Invest Fest 2023.

Podcast hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings are bringing together some of today’s top business moguls all in one event. The highly anticipated return of the “Coachella of financial literacy” was announced on Wednesday.

Revolt shared the announcement of the festival and its massive accommodations. Invest Fest will welcome entrepreneurs from around the world to the Georgia World Conference Center in Atlanta from Aug. 25-27. The conference center allows more than 22,000 guests to participate in the first-of-its-kind festival that merges finance, music and culture.The outlet also revealed the special guests who will be appearing to provide advice and information.

Special guests include business moguls like Sean “Diddy” Combs, Robert Smith, and Mike Novogratz, fellow entrepreneurs and leaders like Rich Paul, Steve Stoute, Al Harrington, Ray Lewis, Jermaine Dupri, and Junior Bridgeman. Earn Your Leisure also officially partnered with Combs and Steve Harvey, and this marks Harvey’s second year in a row doing so.

Revolt Media owner and entertainment mogul Diddy provided a statement about the festival’s importance.

“The platform Rashad and Troy have built with ‘Earn Your Leisure’ is very important because they’re teaching millions about financial literacy and how to be smarter with their money,” he said. “Invest Fest is an example of unity and using our collective power to make a real impact, so I’m excited to be speaking in front of thousands of people looking to be informed in a way that will inspire them.”

The website describes the event as “a first of its kind, in-person experience to combine investing, entrepreneurship, pop culture, and entertainment in a festival setting.” The event was so successful last year that it launched its first international event with Invest Fest London, in partnership with Steve Harvey.

According to Revolt, attendees will be able to participate in informative panel discussions, workshops, a live podcast stage, and endless networking opportunities. The weekend will also include appearances from Jeezy, Jermaine Dupri, and Steve Stoute. A food truck caravan and an outdoor marketplace will showcase over 400 small businesses.
