SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci reflects on the decision to face his public downfall after being fired from the Trump White House after 11 days. He discusses pride, ego, failure, rebuilding his career and why he believes the only way through a mistake is to own it and face it head-on.
Anthony Scaramucci’s career has included high-profile successes and setbacks.
In this episode of “Executive Decisions,” the SkyBridge Capital founder reflects on leaving Goldman Sachs to build his own business, why insecurity led him into the wrong job early in his career and the pride and ego that influenced his decision to join the Trump administration.
After being fired from the White House after just 11 days, Scaramucci was advised to disappear from public life. Instead, he chose to face his critics – a decision he says became part of a wider reckoning with his mistakes, his relationships and himself.
He also discusses being fired and rehired by Goldman Sachs, the lessons he learned from market downturns, rebuilding SkyBridge and the fallout from its relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX.
Through it all, Scaramucci says the lesson has been the same: own your mistakes, face the music and keep going.
