More Than a SoftBank Money Trap

CFO Bookshelf

About this episode

One book critic has asked readers of The Money Trap to imagine Michael Lewis as the President of a multinational investment holding company. Instead, Alok Sama is that person after working for Morgan Stanley for sixteen years.

In this sometimes lighthearted but philosophical tome, occasionally sprinkled with dark humor and cleverness, Alok shares his most interesting stories while working next to one of the wealthiest men in the world. It's a story that includes investing insights, a smear campaign, and parent heartbreak.

Learn fascinating insights from an investment banker with a strong mathematical and analytical mind who loves writing and reading great literature. This may be the only time you hear Mark Zuckerberg, John Nash, and Julius Ceasar mentioned in the same conversation.
