For their second annual Invest Fest, Earn Your Leisure visited the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta again. More than 12,000 people attended the festival this year, which featured a weekend-long schedule of events and expert-led panels, including investing, entrepreneurship, real estate, and financial literacy. Billionaire Donahue Peebles, chairman of Chick-fil-A, billionaire Dan T. Cathy, T.I., Dame Dash, Terrence J, DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and many others, were among the speakers.

For this year’s Invest Fest and programming, Steve Harvey and Harvey Ventures worked as strategic partners and co-producers.

 “I am proud to partner with Earn Your Leisure, which was founded by two young and dynamic Black entrepreneurs, to take this year’s Invest Fest to the next level,” said Steve Harvey. “There is an urgent need for more expansive financial literacy to promote saving, investing, and generational wealth creation for traditionally underserved communities. Rashad and Troy have responded with an incredibly innovative and visionary platform to make this information open and accessible to all.”

The festival’s high point was when millionaire author and director Tyler Perry appeared on stage with Earn Your Leisure hosts Troy Millings & Rashad Bilal to impart advice and important lessons he’d learnt over his career. Steve Harvey joined the lads on stage just after Tyler Perry’s fireside chat to congratulate them and to honor Mr. Perry.

“We created Earn Your Leisure and now Invest Fest to marry culture and commerce. We know that information and resources about financial literacy, investing, entrepreneurship and building generational wealth have traditionally been inaccessible for our culture,” said Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, Founders, Earn Your Leisure.

The all-star billionaire fireside discussion featuring R. Donahue Peebles and Chick-fil-A chairman Dan T. Cathy, led by Matthew Garland, was one of the festival’s most eagerly awaited events. Among the speakers who stood out for their wisdom on ownership and working for yourself were Ian Dunlap, 19 Keys, Pinky Cole (creator and owner of Slutty Vegan), ET The Hip Hop Preacher, and Dame Dash. Hip-hop legend Rick Ross gave a powerful, electrifying performance to cap off the event.

Steve Harvey and Earn Your Leisure are partnering for Invest Fest 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will run on August 5-7 and offer a weekend of activities focused on investing, entrepreneurship, pop culture, and entertainment. Just announced to join Steve Harvey is billionaire television mogul, Tyler Perry. Perry joins a lineup of speakers that includes EYL hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, Rick Ross, T.I., Charlamagne Tha God, Terrence J, Dame Dash, and more.

“Steve called Tyler and told him the importance of our work,” said Rashad Bilal. “When Steve asked him to come to Invest Fest, he accepted immediately. Mr. Perry will be going over his billion dollar business empire and how he maintains his independence.” 

“People have got to start investing in themselves,” Steve Harvey says. “When you go to Invest Fest, you invest in yourself. Why would you not do that?” He especially encourages people to go without preconceptions. “Be open to learn everything that will be poured into you. Stay open-minded. The majority of things that have happened to me have happened in ways I didn’t see coming, but I was open to it.”

Invest Fest 2022, which is based on the immensely popular Earn Your Leisure podcast, combines entertainment and education equally. Participants will have access to the vendor marketplace, immersive financial activities, panel talks, food trucks, and live musical performances, among other events. Major celebrities and business people will also share their enlightening tales during live fireside chats and panel discussions.

 “Steve’s illustrious career gives him an incredible reach around the world, which makes him a perfect partner as we’re on a mission to spread our message globally,” says EYL co-founder Troy Millings.

General admission tickets are available at $249, and Silver, Gold, and Lifetime VIP packages include backstage passes, a VIP networking event, musical performances, and even a private dinner with EYL and friends.
