Anthony Scaramucci, the infamous 11-day White House veteran, spills the tea on “Potomac fever” — that intoxicating pull Washington has on outsiders who think they’re here to fix things… only to get changed by D.C. himself, along with names like Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick, are caught in its grip. He recounts his own naive rise, the seduction of insider power, motorcades, and Secret Service, and how it nearly derailed his first stint as communications director after a public meltdown. Flashback to Goldman Sachs: fired for incompetence, then rehired because he chased the “coolest job” out of Harvard instead of doing what he was good at. His story? A raw lesson in self-awareness — owning your failures led him to where he finally thrived. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
