Anthony Scaramucci: ‘Trump is a symptom of a disease in the West'
5/11/202648 min
How do you handle working with Donald Trump, and what happens when failure plays out in public?
John is joined by Anthony Scaramucci, Wall Street financier, broadcaster and former Director of Communications for Donald Trump.
Anthony reflects on how his childhood shaped his approach to work, and how it ultimately prepared him for one of the most high-pressure roles in politics today. He shares what the experience taught him about pressure, loyalty and knowing when to walk away.
Anthony also opens up about failure on a global stage, the importance of self-awareness and why integrity is so important.
Anthony’s book From Wall Street To The White House and Back is available now.

Hello everyone, it's John here. Just letting you know that I have written a book. It's called Thirst: 12 Drinks That Changed My Life, and it's out now. In many episodes of How Do You Cope, you'll have heard me talk about my relationship with alcohol, and in writing Thirst, I wanted to explore what alcohol means. Why did it mean more to me than other people? Why did it mean some things felt better, and why did it mean so many things went wrong? I also talk about lots of other things you'll have heard me and my guests discuss on How Do You Cope: meditation, physical pain, gratitude, trauma, and therapy. There's even a chapter about my bum and its relationship with Buddhism. So if that piques your interest, Thirst is out now, and the audiobook, read by me, is available wherever you get audiobooks from. [upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to How Do You Cope with me, John Robins.
