Ian Cassel invests where almost no one else will: companies too small and too illiquid for Wall Street to touch.

The founder of MicroCapClub sits down with Chris Hill to share what that world actually looks like from the inside, and why he believes it offers individual investors an edge, as well as:

• The fake identity he invented at 20 to talk his way into a one-on-one meeting with a public company CEO

• What Ian looks for when he goes beyond the financial statements and meets with a company’s management

• A purchase he made in the depths of the 2009 crash that he still thinks about 

• His dad's simple rule about charitable giving that took him a decade to understand
