Send a text

Guy Adami, CNBC’s Fast Money veteran and Wall Street trader, joins co-hosts Alex Prout, Gabriel Viscogliosi, and Hugh Eastman for a candid exploration of masculinity, money, and cultural change on Wall Street. Guy shares personal reflections on the pressures and rewards of working in a male-dominated trading culture, from bold risk-taking and stoicism to the slow evolution away from “bro culture.” The conversation dives into Guy’s formative years at home and in the industry, the impact of family financial stress, and how societal ideas of manhood shaped his career decisions.

With humor and honesty, Guy reflects on lessons from failure, leadership, and vulnerability, recounting how authentic connection stands out amid competitive environments. Together with the Aspire team, Guy explores how financial stress and “winning” in the market can affect men’s self-worth, relationships, and growth. This episode challenges listeners to rethink what success means, why empathy matters in high-powered industries, and how models of manhood are changing for the better.
