Description

This week, Anthony talks with Gordon Sondland, former US Ambassador to the EU and author of The Envoy: Mastering the Art of Diplomacy with Trump and the World. A self-defined “quid pro quo” guy, Ambassador Sondland gets personal with Anthony about his time working for former President Trump. He recalls the Trump-Ukraine phone call which spurred the first impeachment inquiry, and reflects on the fallout from his own testimony. Together they give their take on the Trump years and the future of the Republican party, sharing their hopes and predictions for the GOP in 2024, and what would make a successful candidate.Having worked closely with President Zelensky during his ambassadorship, Sondland shares his thoughts on the war in Ukraine; why Zelensky was always a “baller” in his eyes; and what the United States needs to do to end the war.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

You may think you know Anthony Scaramucci: a Harvard Law School graduate who cut his teeth at Goldman Sachs, went on to build two successful businesses and had an 11-day stint in the White House. What people don’t know is he’s an avid reader, endlessly curious, history buff with a restless mind.In his new podcast, Open Book, listeners will hear and get to know the real Anthony: the proud son of immigrant parents, a long-suffering New York Mets fan and a father of five. Each week, he’ll invite you into an intimate and open conversation with some of the brightest minds out there, from business, politics, entertainment, and more. Together, they’ll go deep into a piece of work - whether it's a highly anticipated book, an in-depth feature story, or an opinion piece – to dig into why it matters to you, what we can learn from the past, and how their work is shaping our future.Along the way, you’ll learn more about The Mooch – beyond the headlines – where he came from and how he got here. He’ll turn the pages on his own life lessons from his blue-collar upbringing and career on Wall Street to getting his teeth kicked in the White House and then, coming back stronger. He’ll offer his perspective as a self-made entrepreneur and “open book” with a lot of experience, both good and bad.Tune in every week to hear fascinating conversations you won’t get anywhere else.
