Odd Lots · Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon on Running a Bank in the Age of AI · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean, they weren't paying me anything.

And they just wanted me to do this.

And I was doing it to learn.

You put financial incentives in place, I found I could call anybody.

I could get people on the phone.

I could keep people on the phone.

I could go see people.

I could relate to people, even though I was very young.

And I could bring business into the firm.

And very quickly, I became...

good at that.

And when I arrived at Bear Stearns after Drexel Burnham went out of business, I very quickly became a very significant producer and a culture that was kind of eat what you kill.

And it was a great experience.

I don't think that's the way, I don't think it was the perfect culture.

And culture's evolved.

But I do think there's something here.

And one of the things we're talking about a lot at Goldman, I think it's really important.

I still think human to human contact matters a lot.

And I think one of the great opportunities we have with this technology expansion is to get our young people out with clients, talking to clients, broadening our client footprint.

They're incredibly capable.
