A Note from James:"I've known Anthony Scaramucci for about 15 years. We had breakfast 15 years ago after his first book came out, and I had written a review of it in the Financial Times. At different times, we even thought about working together, about 10 or 15 years ago. He's always been a very interesting guy.Of course, I know him from the hedge fund world, but much later, he got involved in the political world. He became the Communications Director of the White House under Donald Trump for 11 days before he got fired. He later came on my podcast to talk about his time there, and by then, he was more aligned with Biden.Anthony has a problem: both sides of the aisle don't like him.

We started off by discussing why people either love or hate him. I pointed out that the worst thing you could have for a book is three-star reviews. You want a lot of five-star reviews and a lot of one-star reviews to show you had an impact on people. That's how he is as a person, and I feel like that's how I am sometimes.

When Anthony Scaramucci steps up to the microphone, you know you're in for a mix of candid insight and seasoned wisdom. As the founder of Skybridge Capital and former White House Communications Director under Trump, 'The Mooch' walks us through his blue-collar roots to his rise in the financial world, and his thoughts on leadership that shapes nations. His tales of endurance, most notably his experience with the Special Forces World's Toughest Test, illustrate the ironclad work ethic that has catapulted him from the trading floor to the corridors of power, and now to our studio.It's a precarious time in American politics, and Anthony doesn't shy away from addressing the elephant in the room: the threat of authoritarianism. We examine America's constitutional bulwarks designed by the Founding Fathers, intended as safeguards against tyranny. Reflecting on historic dictatorships, we discuss how legal stability underpins our nation's capacity for innovation and question what a return of Trump to the Oval Office could mean for this stability. This episode is a deep examination of leadership styles and their potential impacts, seen through the lens of a nation that has, so far, eluded the grasp of dictatorship.We round out our conversation with an exploration of the interplay between political elections and the economy. Anthony imparts his insights on why financial independence is not just about saving but about engaging with work that fuels your passion. The dialogue veers into the political sphere, as we consider the challenges veterans face in the current political climate, and the divisive tactics employed in recent campaigns. This episode isn't just an interview; it's a masterclass in the mechanics of finance, the power of resilience, and the imperative of moral leadership. Join us for a journey into the heart of American politics and personal growth with Anthony Scaramucci.Support the show

The Mooch ascends to Donald Trump's White House where a stint with the Import-Export Bank of the US exposes him to the future: cryptocurrencies before he is called into the game as the new White House Communications Director. Eleven days later, he's fired.

Republicans spin a good yarn, but data doesn't lie, and since globalization began the contrast between Republican and Democratic performance on the economy has been incredibly stark. Look no further than Bidenomics vs. Reaganomics. While the Democrats continue to evolve to attempt to create an economy that works for all of us, Republicans keep doubling down on policies that only serve the rich. There's no reason Democrats should continue to lose the conversation around the economy when study after study shows that Democratic leadership equals growth, lower deficits, and the ability to adapt to a changing market, while Republican leadership equals recessions, higher deficits, and continued American decline. With that in mind, today we talk about the success of Bidenomics with White House Communications Director, Ben LaBolt. You want to understand where we really are with politics & the economy?

Phil and David celebrate their 50th Anniversary -- okay episode --  by welcoming Nicolle Wallace, the brilliant host of "Deadline: White House" on MSNBC and an insightful political analyst at NBC for a fascinating conversation about her remarkable life which has taken her from being White House Communications Director for George W. Bush to her time alongside Whoopi Goldberg on "The View" to her current high profile job covering America and the world on her own compelling daily show.

Anthony Scaramucci is the Founder and Managing Partner of Skybridge Capital and the SALT conference, and for a brief period in 2017, the White House Communications Director. Anthony and I were scheduled to record a conversation the Friday morning he was named to the White House. That clearly didn't happen, but we circled back a few months after his return to Skybridge, and that conversation is replayed in the feed. Since then, he invested some of Skybridge's assets in crypto and last August sold a piece of Skybridge to the now infamous Sam Bankman-Fried. Our conversation this time around covers Anthony's deals in the asset management space, his thematic investment in crypto, and unfortunate relationship with SBF. Along the way, we discuss entrepreneurship, risk taking, maintaining conviction in a downturn, changing your mind, and resilience – an attribute he demonstrates time and time again.

The name Anthony Scaramucci currently has 55% name recognition in the U.S. according to Politico. Anthony has been an entrepreneur in the hedge fund industry for 23 years, growing to prominence within the industry through his oversight of fund of funds Skybridge Capital, creation of the popular SALT conference, regular television appearances, and rejuvenation of the iconic television show Wall Street Week.  He grew to prominence worldwide when his longtime political interests led to a brief tenure as White House Communications Director in 2017. Our conversation starts off with a bang and turns to the ups and downs in Anthony's career, including getting fired and rehired at Goldman Sachs, starting and selling his first hedge fund, creating Skybridge and watching it almost fail, and thriving after the financial crisis. We discuss Anthony's thoughts on hedge funds, lessons from his stint in Washington, and books he has written about his experiences. Along the way, he shares life lessons about managing people, building relationships, resiliency, laughing at yourself, greed, ego, and fame. Anyone who has only known Anthony from his recent public profile might be surprised to hear the depth of his insight, self-effacing honesty and caring of others, alongside his irrepressible salesmanship. Those who have known him longer will recognize the same Mooch as always in all his splendor.   Learn More  Follow Ted on Twitter at @tseides or LinkedIn  Subscribe to the mailing list  Access Transcript with Premium Membership    Show Notes 2:48 – Anthony's professional history 8:03 – Time at Oscar Capital/Neuberger Berman 9:25 – Neuberger sells to Lehman 10:13 – Leaving Lehman to start Skybridge 13:13 – Getting through the financial crisis 14:04 – Launching SALT conference 15:35 – Buying Citigroup's fund of funds business 17:34 – Anthony's approach to the hedge fund business 20:28 – How he handles the relationships with managers 22:15 – Environment for the hedge fund space             24:12 – After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead 26:02 – Hedge fund space moving forward 28:03 – What he learned from being fired 31:22 – Handling public adversity 32:40 – Selling the business to serve the country 35:35 – Life lessons learned throughout his career and shared in his books             35:40 – Goodbye Gordon Gekko: How to Find Your Fortune Without Losing Your Soul             38:40 – The Little Book of Hedge Funds             38:44 – Hopping over the Rabbit Hole: How Entrepreneurs Turn Failure into Success 39:20 – The key principles that Anthony tries to impart on his team 41:47 – Lessons in launching a hedge fund business 45:00 – What changed upon his return to Skybridge 46:33 – How does it feel to be famous 48:10 – Closing questions             56:06– The China Mission: George Marshall's Unfinished War, 1945-1947

At its first primetime hearing, the January 6 committee nails Trump in the most unmistakable way possible. Brian interviews former White House Communications Director under president Obama, Dan Pfieffer, about whether the DOJ is moving too slowly, whether he thinks a Trump prosecution is likely, and how Democrats can compete with the MAGA disinformation machine. And gun reform activist Fred Guttenberg joins to discuss the tragic loss of his daughter, what he'd like to see Congress pass in the way of gun legislation, and his response to people like Ted Cruz for desperately trying to redirect calls for common sense gun legislation instead to doors.
