Anthony Scaramucci

I am your host, Anthony Scaramucci.

Joining me today is Lloyd Blankfein.

He is the former chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs from 2006 to 2018.

And he's the author of a book that I think should be the business book of the year.

I don't know if the FT would qualify for that because it is a memoir as well.

But to me, it is a strategy manual that

for dealing with life.

It's a rite of passage story, but also in here is how to manage a company going through a crisis.

And Lloyd, by the way, it took me back memory lane.

I left Goldman Sachs 30 years ago, hard to believe.

I was there for the first seven years of my career.

And you were very nice to me then, and you've been very nice to me now.

So it's great to have you on.

But again, I love this book.

And it starts in East New York, Brooklyn.

I want you to take us back there, if you can, to talk a little bit about the precocious nature of your childhood, but also you were growing up in public housing.

So take us there, because it's just an unbelievable, wonderful American story arc, Lloyd, of your career.

I have so many things that I've underlined in this book, and there are personalities in this book that I remember from the firm that stayed at the firm with you and helped you manage the firm.

But the best line, I told my producers this, the best line in this book is on page 21, Laurie Blankfein.

It's top of the page.
