Điều đầu tiên là có một công việc tại phố Wall, và điều cuối cùng là có được mức thu nhập hơn 1 triệu USD mỗi năm. “Câu “tiền bạc không mua được hạnh phúc” nghe thật lý thuyết. Khi nghe thấy người ta nói điều này, tôi chỉ muốn đấm cho họ một cú. Tôi đã nghĩ rằng ai nói ra câu này đúng là chưa bao giờ thực sự có tiền”, Duff viết. Duff đã hoàn thành danh sách của mình khi anh mới 34 tuổi. Vào ngày Giáng Sinh, khi Duff đang ngả người trên chiếc ghế Sofa trong căn hộ 250m2 giữa trung tâm New York, anh nhận được 2 triệu đô tiền thưởng vào tài khoản của mình. Mọi thứ dường như đã trở nên hoàn hảo. Duff có một người bạn gái, một ngôi nhà giữa khu phố đắt đỏ nhất nước Mỹ. Anh đang là một trader cao cấp tại phố Wall. Anh có thể sử dụng dịch vụ đi làm bằng trực thăng, ngồi ăn sáng trên máy bay trong khi nhìn dòng xe chen chúc và ồn ào dưới chân mình. Anh đi câu cá tại Costa Rica và câu được một con cá kiếm, biểu tượng cho một người đàn ông quyền lực và thành đạt tại xứ cờ hoa, ít nhất là trên Instagram. Tiền bạc, công việc, mối quan hệ, địa vị xã hội đã nằm trong tay anh. Theo kế hoạch mà anh đã lên cho cuộc đời mình, thời khắc này sẽ trở nên hạnh phúc và ngây ngất đến mức bùng nổ, và là mồi lửa đốt lên không ngừng những khoảnh khắc thành công và ngây ngất khác trong đời anh từ nay trở về sau. Nhưng cảm giác thỏa mãn của Duff chỉ tồn tại trong vài phút... __ Tủ sách của Spiderum hoành tráng của Spiderum: https://shope.ee/6KbpEZS9D2 Các đầu sách bạn có thể quan tâm: - Người trong muôn nghề - Định hướng nghề nghiệp toàn diện: https://shope.ee/AURO9YQc3A - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành IT có gì?: https://shope.ee/9pBhMKT9Oy - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Kinh tế có gì? - Tập 1: https://shope.ee/9UYqxiUQ4w - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Kinh tế có gì? - Tập 2: https://shope.ee/9KFQlPV3Pv - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Sáng tạo - Nghệ thuật có gì?: https://shope.ee/9zV7YdSW47 - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Xã hội - Nhân văn có gì?: https://shope.ee/5pfYayiNWK - Mùi mẹ - Món quà dành tặng người phụ nữ yêu thương: https://shope.ee/6AIOzah6qU - DevUP - Phát triển toàn diện sự nghiệp lập trình viên: https://shope.ee/9esHA1Tmjx - Seneca: Những Bức Thư Đạo Đức – Chủ Nghĩa Khắc Kỷ Trong Đời Sống - Tập 1: https://shope.ee/6zrW08ngb2 - Seneca: Những Bức Thư Đạo Đức – Chủ Nghĩa Khắc Kỷ Trong Đời Sống - Tập 2: https://shope.ee/A9oXkwRsj8 - Mở khóa thương mại điện tử Việt Nam: https://shope.ee/5V2iCMjeCI - Doing good better - Làm việc thiện đúng cách: https://shope.ee/6KbpBtgTVV - Động lực nội tại - Làm sao để yêu công việc và đạt đến thành công: https://shope.ee/6UvFOCfqAW - Bước ra thế giới: Cẩm nang du học và săn học bổng: https://shope.ee/5fM8Ofj0rJ - Chuyện người chuyện ngỗng (Vũ Hoàng Long): https://shope.ee/4AXKcUjKAQ __ Hóng các cuộc hội thoại thú vị, nhiều kiến thức bổ ích trên kênh Talk Sâu: https://b.link/talksau Lắng nghe những câu chuyện về thế giới nghề nghiệp cùng podcast Người Trong Muôn Nghề: https://b.link/NTMN-Podcast ______________ Bài viết: LÀM THẾ NÀO ĐỂ ĐẠT ĐƯỢC TỰ DO TÀI CHÍNH KHI CÒN TRẺ?

Turney Duff was making millions on Wall Street until cocaine addiction brought him to his knees. His book The Buy Side: A Wall Street Trader's Tale of Spectacular Excess is a funny, horrifying, then hopeful read and a New York Times best-seller (you should buy it here). Paul and the esteemed author share a lot of laughs as they discuss what money meant to Turney as he got rich, got lost, got sober, then got published. This darn funny conversation covers everything Turney's middle school science fair fiasco to insider trading. Also, prostitutes. Find out more about Turney and hear the Galleon rap here. 

On the latest episode of “What Really Matters,” Weatherhead first-year MBA student Connor Reider and Director of Admissions Steve Scheidt sit down with Cleveland-native Turney Duff, author of The New York Times bestseller “The Buy Side.” The former hedge-fund trader talks about his once-breakneck lifestyle and how his pursuit of wealth turned instead to a pursuit of happiness.  In sharing what really matters, Turney emphasizes the importance of not chasing the good life, but rather living a good life. Listen here.

New York Times Best Selling author, Turney Duff joins us to discuss the rise and fall of his career trading stocks on Wall Street, and his redemption that followed. Turney's book, The Buy Side became a best-seller shortly after it was published in 2013. He has since been a consultant on Showtime's "Billions," starring Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti. Turney's story is one worth listening to, as he shares the ups, downs, and lessons learned from his year's as one of Wall Street's top traders.

In 1994, two Ohio University graduatesarrived separately in New York City to pursue careers in journalism. Unfortunately, they both failed typing tests and their paths went in very different directions than originally planned. Turney Duff lived hard and fast on Wall Street with million dollar bonuses and a nightlife that stopped party girl Tara Reid in her tracks, followed by a not surprising stint (or two) in rehab and a New York Times Best Selling tell-all book called, The Buy Side. The other is Briana and, well, we all know her story and it's not THAT interesting. Anyway, the two finally meet up after living eerily parallel lives that never intersected in a memorable way - at least not for Turney - until now.  These are their stories.

Today hosts Kim Ann Curtin and Stephen Johnson interview Turney Duff, author of “The Buy Side: A Wall Street Trader's Tale of Spectacular Excess.”  Kim found the book so riveting she read it in two sittings! Turney Duff's Wall Street career spanned 15 years during an exciting time. After accomplishing many goals, he set his sights on making it to the buy-side. And make it he did.  But don't worry, he loves to root for the little guy. In this SteadyTrade episode, he shares plenty of hard-won wisdom. 

Kerri + Debbie are joined by NY Times Bestselling author of "The Buy Side," Turney Duff. Turney shares stories of Wall Street excess, including drugs, alcohol, sex, and money, and his unapologetic decision to walk away from it all (and a seven-figure paycheck.) The trio plays a mean game of "Would You Rather," which leaves Debbie choosing between dick fingers and urinal cakes. Um, did Kerri really play pool at Corey Feldman's house? Did Turney really smoke a blunt with Tone Loc and pee on his prom date? Don't miss the fun while the turkey's in the oven!!!

Buck is joined by guest co-host PJ O’Rourke for an American Consequences takeover of the Stansberry Investor Hour. PJ is the rabble rousing best-selling author of titles like Eat the Rich, Give War a Chance, and How the Hell Did This Happen? Buck and PJ discuss Rex Tillerson’s great relief, doubts about growth in Asia, and the surveillance culture we now live in where everybody knows your name…and a whole lot more. PJ tells you why some people may even welcome the idea of unfettered spying on citizens by governments everywhere. Stansberry Research analyst Bill Shaw joins the program to weigh in on gold and his recent article in American Consequences. It’s a first-person story about the state of subprime auto loans and late-night adventures with a repo man on the streets of Baltimore. Buck asks Bill which cars the midnight riders are towing away, and the answer is a tell-tale sign of a far too stretched consumer. Turney Duff, author of the Buy Side and contributor to American Consequences, calls in to tell PJ and Buck about the discussions he just had with the smartest traders he knows on Wall Street to get their opinion on the China trade. Turney sheds some light as to why some of the most experienced people in finance have completely missed the big move in Asia.

This week it’s an American Consequences takeover on the Stansberry Investor Hour. Guest Co-Host and Chief Editor of American Consequences magazine, PJ O’Rourke, sits in with Buck to welcome Senior Editor of Extreme Value Dan Ferris, and author Turney Duff of the best-selling Wall Street expose’, The Buy Side. Dan tells you why Wal-Mart is still a big threat to Amazon’s business, and why you might be better off investing with strong brick and mortar operations when it comes to the retail sector. PJ and Dan reveal a connection between Sears and Amazon that most people would miss…and what could be a future indicator of trouble for Amazon. Turney Duff calls in to explain why investing in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) is something that most investors should stay away from, and how you can beat Wall Street at their own game by knowing when to short the hype surrounding new IPO issues.

If you have ever thought about writing a book, this podcast episode is for you. Jared speaks with New York Times bestselling author Turney Duff about the business of writing, and the economics behind it--and why it can be so difficult. It is a common misconception that published authors are rich; as you will learn, there is nothing further from the truth. Turney and Jared share their true feelings on what it's like to make one's living as a writer.

Turney Duff. I first read Turney Duff’s New York Times bestselling book, The Buy Side, at some point in college, and was attracted to not only his story but his authenticity. Here’s a guy that lived a very extravagant lifestyle, and eventually, after quite a rollercoaster ride, turned down a job that would have made him seven figures a year, because he knew he would be happier without it. Turney spent fifteen years as a trader on Wall Street, eventually pulling in seven figures a year, but also had a worsening addiction to cocaine. Like a lot of people, he thought that all of his problems would be solved with more money, but when more money came, the problems never went away. It took the second trip to rehab and barely any money in his bank account for him to realize that what he really wanted was not the extravagant life he lived as a Wall Street trader, but his original dream to be a writer. He’s much happier now making far less money, wanting less, and not trying to be liked by everyone than he was during his fifteen years as a trader.

Turney Duff was a hedge fund trader on Wall Street who lead a truly excessive lifestyle. In 2013 he released a book about his experiences—titled, The Buy Side. And currently, Turney is a consultant on the Showtime TV series, Billions. On this episode we cover everything, from what it was like to trade more than one billion dollars at Galleon Group—which was the hedge fund run by Raj Rajaratnam, currently serving an 11-year prison sentence for partaking in one of the largest insider trading rings in U.S. history. Following on from this, we discuss Turney’s relationships with the sell-side and the extreme measures they’d take to win his business. Which leads into the shenanigans which took place after-hours—the cocktail of drugs, alcohol, sex, money and power. We finish up with Turney’s fall from the top, some of the greatest realizations he’s come to, and the life he leads today… Enjoy! -- Sponsored by TradeStation.com – TradeStation connect traders with all the bell’s n whistles to better monitor and participate in markets.

This week we spent some time with New York Times Best-Selling Author Turney Duff. His monikers not only include best selling author, but former Wall Street Trader, Hedge Fund co-Founder, Technical Adviser / Consultant for the Showtime television show Billions and contributor to CNBC.  Over the course of his career there is little that he hasn’t seen and fortunately for his fans he writes about it.   In the first segment, we talk story telling and his start as a Wall Street Trader. We discuss how as people we establish ‘lines’ that we won’t ever cross, and then how life tests that resolve and more times than not we cross our own lines. He shares his perspective about the pursuit of happiness, and how he traded that pursuit for a pursuit of serenity. He shares his view about the difference between IQ and EQ and how his talent for gauging a room was really what assisted most in his success.  The discussion about the difference is a game changer.   In the second segment we discuss his creative process and the inspiration behind his book; The Buy Side. He shares the experience of arranging his book deal with Randon House and how he was able to find the creative starting point that ended up becoming his book. He stresses the need to not trying to impress anyone and how this ended up being the door for his story that shows both his flaws and his humanity.  Turney’s experience is evidence that no matter your position or experiences in life, it’s never too late to follow a passion and ultimately turn it into your career!  You have a creative pull and would like to hear from someone that followed their passion against all odds?

I'd rather be an alien. I'd rather be myself. Than be liked. It makes sense... why you'd want to be liked. Think about it. From an evolutionary standpoint, when you're liked, you're safe. You're in the tribe. People protect you. But now, I'd rather be an alien. I don't want stress. I don't want to worry, "Do I fit in?" There are consequences to being liked. You start compromising. You stop taking risks. You follow the herd. You get stuck in a crappy job at a fluorescently lit cubicle. Where they can watch you. You stop taking risks. You wonder, "Is this ok?" Ok to who? Not you. Not the only person who matters. I'd rather be an alien. If I'm an alien, I can act like I just landed here. And I'm not supposed to know if I fit in. I'm forced to be myself. No trying. Just forced. I can surrender. My guest today, used to be in a tribe. I won't say it's the worst one. But it's bad. Turney Duff is the New York Times bestselling author of, The Buy Side: A Wall Street Trader's Tale of Spectacular Excess, where he tells the truth. He bleeds. "Look, chances are people aren't going to like me after I tell the story, so at no point am I ever, ever, ever going to try to get the reader to like me," Turney says. But that wasn't easy. Because he spent his whole life trying to be liked. "I've always had this 'Nobody loves me' syndrome. I had this fear of ordinary, fear of being normal." On Wall Street, Turney was a trader. But he wasn't just trading stocks. He traded sleep, health, relationships, money. All of it for drugs. He was afraid. He'd go to hotel rooms and snort cocaine by himself. But nothing was enough. He made $2 million dollars a year. He thought, "If I could just make three million dollars a year, all of my problems would be solved." But before that he said, "If I could just make fifty thousand dollars a year, all of my problems would be solved. All of them." He wanted to be a journalist. But he traded. A lot of people trade. Maybe you traded. But it's not too late. You can choose yourself. There are three things you need to know to choose yourself. And I got these from my interview with Turney. He'll show you. He'll prove to you it's not too late. I believe in you. Three steps to (finally) choose yourself: 1) Don't try to be liked. When Turney wrote this book, he knew people would stop liking him. Or hate him. He told it anyway. And it saved his life.  That's what saved my life too. Bleeding on the pages. Telling my truth. Listen at [2:35] to learn how to cure something in yourself too. 2) Want less. Wanting more hurts. Because you trick your brain into believing you don't have enough. And start feeling sorry for yourself. Instead of grateful for what you do have. So I want less.  Listen at [6:28]. Turney explains why wanting more destroys you. 3) Build up your gut. We have instincts. And our bodies speak to us. But we're good at ignoring it. The pain. We think stomach aches are just stomach aches. But it's an accumulation abuse. Stress. Worry. Fear. You have to listen to your body. Notice the pain. Turney says, "I became successful on the trading desk because I had great instincts, and I used my gut. Along the way I lost that." Listen at [51:50] to hear how he got his gut back. After everything, I ask him, "Has it worked out?" "I'll tell you this..." Listen here for my interview with Turney. You'll learn how to choose yourself. And you'll hear how Turney did it himself. How he turned his back on his tribe, his drugs, his money.  It took him most of his life. But he did it.

Along the way I lost that.” Listen at [51:50] to hear how he got his gut back. After everything, I ask him, “Has it worked out?” “I'll tell you this...” Listen here for my interview with Turney. You’ll learn how to choose yourself. And you’ll hear how Turney did it himself. How he turned his back on his tribe, his drugs, his money.  It took him most of his life. But he did it. You can too.

Episode 057: Turney Duff – Wall Street, Addiction, Rehab, Best-Selling Author, TV Show Consultant This episode different from the normal Learning Leader Show episode…  Turney contacted me via my website (the contact form www.LearningLeader.com) after he saw the John LeFevre episode published.  He mentioned that he was a fellow Ohio University Bobcat and he had followed my football career.  From this common bond, we developed a friendship and I thought it would be a great idea to record an episode together.  I’m really glad we did it! Best-selling author Bethany McLean said it best: “Turney Duff is a natural storyteller, and his tale of how a naive kid from Maine traded in L.L. Bean for Armani and got sucked into the seamy side of Wall Street is almost impossible to put down. The book is by turns hilarious, harrowing, maddening, and illuminating. After this debut, the smart money will be on Duff.” “The Buy Side” is now on Amazon's 2013 Best Books of the Year: Business & Investing Episode 057: Turney Duff – Wall Street, Addiction, Rehab, Best-Selling Author, TV Show Consultant Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio   The Learning Leader Show “I wanted to put good karma in the universe.” – Turney Duff, describing why he originally reached out to Brian Koppelman.

Episode edited by the great J Scott Donnell Picture from hitc.com Bio From TurneyDuff.com The Buy Side, by former Galleon Group trader Turney Duff, portrays an after-hours Wall Street culture where drugs and sex are rampant and billions in trading commissions flow to those who dangle the most enticements. A remarkable writing debut, filled with indelible moments, The Buy Side shows as no book ever has the rewards – and dizzying temptations – of making a living on the Street. Growing up in the 1980’s Turney Duff was your average kid from Kennebunk, Maine, eager to expand his horizons. After trying – and failing – to land a job as a journalist, he secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits. Those on the “buy side,” the traders who make large bets on whether a stock will rise or fall, are the “alphas” and those on the “sell side,” the brokers who handle their business, are eager to please. How eager to please was brought home stunningly to Turney in 1999 when he arrived at the Galleon Group, a colossal hedge-fund management firm run by secretive founder Raj Rajaratnam. Finally in a position to trade on his own, Turney was encouraged to socialize with the sell side and siphon from his new broker friends as much information as possible. Soon he was not just vacuuming up valuable tips but also being lured into a variety of hedonistic pursuits. Naïve enough to believe he could keep up the lifestyle without paying a price, he managed to keep an eye on his buy-and-sell charts and, meanwhile, pondered the strange goings on at Galleon, where tens of millions were being made each week in sometimes mysterious ways. At his next positions, at Argus Partners and J.L. Berkowitz, Turney climbed to even higher heights – and, as it turned out, plummeted to even lower depths – as, by day, he solidified his reputation as one of the Street’s most powerful healthcare traders, and by night, he blazed a path through the city’s nightclubs, showing off his social genius and voraciously inhaling any drug that would fill the void he felt inside. A mesmerizingly immersive journey through Wall Street’s first millennial decade, and a poignant self-portrait by a young man who surely would have destroyed himself were it not for his decision to walk away from a seven-figure annual income, The Buy Side is one of the best coming-of-age-on-the-Street books ever written.

Episode 044: John LeFevre - @GSElevator: This Episode Might Offend You This episode is different from any other I’ve recorded for The Learning Leader Show.  Turney Duff describes my guest best for CNBC: “In some memoirs, the author tries to pull back the curtain to provide a glimpse into a particular time and place, but LeFevre attempts to rip the drapes right off. He gives a naked look at how business in the world of finance is conducted. LeFevre captures the "Glengarry Glen Ross"-type of attitude that some believe is required to be successful on Wall Street. He doesn't shy away from witnessing and partaking in some of the seedier antics of sharing non-public information, price-fixing, misogyny, drug use and good old-fashion cut-throat office politics.” John LeFevre created the Goldman Sachs Elevator Twitter account (@GSElevator) as a parody of banking culture. He tweeted anonymously for years as he gained hundreds of thousands of followers with his notoriously outrageous and often offensive tweets. He was eventually revealed as the author of the account.  That Twitter account propelled him to earn a six figure book deal titled, “Straight to Hell: True Tales of Deviance, Debauchery, and Billion-Dollar Deals.” Episode 044: John LeFevre - @GSElevator: This Episode Might Offend You Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio.
