The Adversity Advantage with Doug BopstShow Notes
Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, a global alternative investment firm, and the founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio. He also co-hosts the podcast The Rest Is Politics: US.
Today on the show we discuss how Anthony rebuilt his life after public failure and nearly losing his marriage, why ego can quietly destroy your biggest decisions, the mindset shift that helped him regain confidence and stop living in regret, what wealth and status can never give you, how America became so divided and what he believes needs to change, and why adversity can ultimately make you more self-aware, grateful and resilient and much more.
