Now that Iโ€™m back home and fully rested, I wanted to share with you all my experience. I tried to keep it short yet packed with insights and takeaways from the event ๐Ÿ™‚ Stay tuned for part two on Friday ๐Ÿ“…, where Iโ€™ll focus more on the Popular Investors (and share a few fun stories too ๐Ÿ˜‰) โ–ช๏ธ ๐™‚๐™š๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™–๐™ก ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ๐™จ: Compared to the event last year which took place in Hull (UK), you could really see how much the group of PIs has evolved. Many of us already knew each other, which paved the way for helpful and insightful conversations ๐Ÿค. In the end, this is the main reason why you travel half the world (in my case ๐Ÿ˜‰) to go to a summit. The real beauty of a summit is the exchange of ideas and the chance to see the investing world from different perspectives ๐Ÿ‘€, while learning from others. โ–ช๏ธ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™จ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ: The summit had a nice balance between general sessions and specific sessions which you could choose from. There was a lot of emphasis on AI ๐Ÿค–, which is not a surprise, as this is a technology that is now omnipresent in our lives. The Women Investors panel was a great session led by eToroโ€™s COO ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ and one of the companyโ€™s board members. Learning from such powerful women was not only inspirational but actionable ๐Ÿ’ช. They talked about the importance of focus and hard work, two principles that I feel are key for success on any field of life. I also adored Amy Butlerโ€™s and Sam Northโ€™s session on Media and Communication ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ, extremely helpful sessions! โ–ช๏ธ ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ก๐™–๐™ง ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™ซ๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง ๐™‹๐™ง๐™ค๐™œ๐™ง๐™–๐™ข: This was a specific session led by eToroโ€™s @popularinvestors team, @ShaniBlackman, Gil Shapira and Tomer Blatt. We explored in depth the most important aspects of being a PI. One key takeaway was the importance of communication with our copiers ๐Ÿ’ฌ and the trust you put in us. These are things that I have said many times myself in the past but knowing how important it is for them as well, really hit home โค๏ธ. It is also nice to learn that the program is constantly evolving and keeps getting better and more professional. โ–ช๏ธ ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™š๐™๐™ค๐™ง๐™ค ๐™๐™š๐™–๐™ข: You can only do good business with people you feel connected with. I am happy to say the members of the @eToroTeam are not only extremely skilled at their work, but they are also one by one fantastic people ๐ŸŒŸ. For this summit they brought a big part of the team to Cyprus. Not only did we get to meet them all, but they were also extremely open and receptive to our comments and ideas ๐Ÿ’ก. I deeply appreciated having the opportunity to chat with @YoniAssia as he always takes the time to make each PI feel special and heard. โ–ช๏ธ ๐™†๐™š๐™ฎ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™š ๐™Ž๐™ฅ๐™š๐™–๐™ ๐™š๐™ง: This year they invited YouTuber and content creator NASDaily ๐Ÿ“น. As a person who barely watches TV and whose main entertainment platform is YouTube โ–ถ๏ธ this was a meeting very close to my heart. I posted a video on my Instagram (@investbites) with his insights about storytelling. His talk was extremely motivational and left a strong impact on all of us ๐Ÿ’ฅ โ–ช๏ธ ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™–๐™ข: There was space for interviews, chats and activities for promotion. It was so nice to meet the marketing team and to see them in action ๐Ÿ’ซ: how they set up tripods, lighting, how they choose backgrounds. The amount of work and level of detail that goes behind any video is crazy. @TaliaBlank, Sharon Koch and Natasha Rusch are absolute stars ๐ŸŒŸ โ–ช๏ธ ๐˜ผ๐™„ ๐™Ž๐™๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™˜๐™–๐™จ๐™š: We had a specialized session overseeing apps developed by different PIs. I like the use of AI when it serves a purpose and has meaning ๐ŸŽฏ, so this was a very interesting session and ignited some good ideas that I will apply to my own future apps ๐Ÿš€ โ–ช๏ธ ๐™Ž๐™ค๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก ๐™ข๐™š๐™™๐™ž๐™–: Well, guess what? I earned a medal ๐Ÿ… as ๐’๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐’๐จ๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ซ, and it was a gesture that meant so much to me ๐Ÿ’–. I have put a lot of effort into my instagram account this year, and I still have tons of creative things I want to introduce. So yes, this is a big push for me to keep working hard providing interesting content and cool insights ๐Ÿ˜Ž, and of course something of value to you all ๐Ÿ’ซ So, this wraps up ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐Ÿ โœ… See you all on Friday! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Cata ๐Ÿ’š
