How to build wealth (and survive failure) with Anthony Scaramucci
Wall Street veteran, SkyBridge Capital founder, broadcaster, author and former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, aka “the Mooch” sits down with Wilf for a candid conversation about the painful market lessons that shaped his 38-year career, his bold transition into the digital frontier, and the importance of focusing on the long term.
How to build wealth (and survive failure) with Anthony Scaramucci
From the $14m he lost out on listening to Buffett over Bezos on Amazon, to how Trump took him to pieces on Brexit, and why he had to evolve from a crypto sceptic into a major institutional player, this is a grand lesson in learning from your mistakes, and coming out stronger for it.
Anthony has advice for younger investors – pay yourselves first, put that into the markets each month, and don’t get distracted by short term fluctuations. He acknowledges that early in his career he was too impetuous, and how these learnings have influenced his approach to SpaceX, which he owns and is not selling. His view: don’t bet against Elon Musk.
He also explains his position on blockchain technology and Bitcoin itself, and why, despite dismissing it initially, he now believes 90% of investors who actually “do the homework” will choose to own it.
The conversation then turns to career advice for young entrepreneurs and risk-takers, including the need for developing radical self-awareness, expecting to get your “ass kicked”, and why you must never play the victim when things go colossally wrong.
