About this episode
Gary Cohn was National Economic Council Director in the first Trump administration, and now he’s weighing in on U.S. inflation data and the nation’s future monetary policy. If it were up to him, Cohn says he’d try cutting rates–just a little. Ben Gilbert & David Rosenthal are hosts of Acquired, a podcast boasting interviews with guests like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg, and Howard Schultz, as well as a million listeners per episode. Ten years into the project, Gilbert and Rosenthal discuss how they built such a loyal following–and how they monetized in the evolving media landscape. Plus, NYC Democratic Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani spoke directly to corporate America executives this week, and private assets may soon be part of 401(k)s.
