Michael sits down with NYT's Journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss his riveting new book, "1929," a narrative dive into the personalities, excess, and miscalculations that fueled the most infamous market crash in history. From Jesse Livermore’s billion-dollar bet to the birth of American credit culture—and even Winston Churchill’s front-row seat—Sorkin reveals surprising parallels to today’s AI-driven boom. A conversation packed with history, cautionary lessons, and unforgettable stories. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
