Andrew Ross Sorkin: Covering the Flawed Humanity in Business

On this episode, Donny sits down with famed New York Times journalist and co-anchor of CNBC’s “Squawk Box”, Andrew Ross Sorkin. Sorkin is also the author of "Too Big to Fail: How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System," and co-creator of the drama series "Billions" on Showtime. He and Donny dive into how he got published in the Times while still in high school, his coverage of the 2008 financial crisis, the "democratization of stocks" via GameStop, and how "Billions" came to be. But first, Donny divulges his Brands of the Week, which this week include Obama, bipartisanship, Mitch McConnel, Simone Biles, Dominos, KFC, and even pineapples, to name a few.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:Wondery - Listen to Business Wars: Birth of Vegas on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, or 1-week early with Wondery Plus in the Wondery app. Follow Donny: @donnyjaydeutsch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
