Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital: The Mooch - Unfiltered

Our guest today is Anthony Scaramucci, founder and Co-Managing Partner of SkyBridge Capital. In November 2016, Mr. Scaramucci was named to President-Elect Trump’s 16-person Presidential Transition Team Executive Committee and served as the White House Communications Director for a brief period in July 2017.   In this episode, we discuss his professional journey as a first generation college graduate, then working for Goldman Sachs and becoming a serial entrepreneur. We talk about his brief stint in the White House, lessons learned from the experience and why it’s important to control your ego. Then we hear about what he’s most excited about right now: the SkyBridge Bitcoin fund, which was just approved at the start of 2021, and hear why he’s bullish on the space.   Our local co-hosts today are Steve Curley, CFA and Colby Donovan.
