Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci
Business & Economics Podcasts
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.

Welcome back to another conversation with me, Anthony Scaramucci and my good friend Mike Novogratz.

The Best Moments of Open Book 2025 Edition
12/30/2025
This is our final episode of the year on Open Book, and I wanted to slow things down for a moment and take stock of what we’ve built together. Over the past year, we sat down with extraordinary authors, historians, thinkers, and storytellers—people who spent years wrestling with ideas so we could absorb them in hours. This episode is a reflection on those conversations, the books that shaped them, and why reading remains one of the highest-return investments you can make in your own life.

Inflation Crisis, Market Predictions for 2026, Trump's Federal Reserve, Crypto's Future
12/29/2025
This conversation dives into inflation, affordability, and why the Federal Reserve’s next moves will shape markets heading into 2026. We unpack Trump’s pressure on interest rates, the politics behind choosing the next Fed chair, and how global liquidity—from AI-driven growth to the yen carry trade—ripples through stocks, currencies, and crypto. Along the way, we explore why Bitcoin’s stalled momentum may be a contrarian signal rather than the end of the story. Michael Novogratz is the Founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital.

America’s Affordability Crisis, Zohran Mamdani, Trump's Economy, & Crypto’s Lost Momentum
12/23/2025
Mike and I discuss why we're "nervous bulls" on markets—with the Fed cutting rates and Trump pumping money into the economy, valuations look attractive, but an exploding wealth inequality gap and growing political backlash could trigger a revolution that ends the bull market. We dive into housing affordability (half of America earns below what's needed to buy a home), tokenization's global impact, Abu Dhabi's rise as a financial hub, and what economic warning signs would make us turn bearish. 📚Mentioned in this episode: The Hour Between Dog and Wolf by John Coates Streetwise: Getting to and Through Goldman Sachs by Lloyd Blankfein Michael Novogratz is the Founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital.
