Going Deep with Aaron Watson

572 Former Bridgewater CEO’s American Dream w/ David McCormick


Listen Later

David McCormick is the former CEO of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s largest hedge funds. He has also previously worked in the Bush White House and as President of FreeMarkets, a Pittsburgh-based startup from the early 2000s.

He accomplished the sale of FreeMarkets to Ariba in 2004 for an estimated sum of $500 million and ensured that his team retained their jobs after the acquisition.

McCormick ran in the GOP primaries for Pennsylvania senator against Dr. Mehmet Oz in 2022. It is speculated that he may run again in 2024 against Democratic incumbent Bob Casey.

In this episode, Aaron and David talk about his winding career, his book Superpower In Peril, and the major points in his game plan to renew America.


David McCormick’s Challenge; Embrace the privilege and responsibility to be born in the greatest country in the world by registering to vote.
