On today’s show we welcome back microcap expert Ian Cassel. I interviewed Ian back in March on episode 431, where we explored the concept of investing in Micro Cap stocks. It was one of my favorite discussions over the last year, so we are excited to welcome back Ian to discuss his recent annual Microcap Leadership summit and some of the ideas that came out of it.  I always enjoy speaking with Ian. He brings a deep knowledge of the world of microcaps and draws from some other amazing investors in the space. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I did, so without further ado, here is my conversation with Ian Cassel.
