In Last Man Standing, Duff McDonald takes an in-depth look at the rise of Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, who is often credited with navigating the bank successfully through the 2008 financial crisis. This episode explores Dimon’s early career under his mentor Sandy Weill, their dramatic fallout, and Dimon’s resurgence as the leader who transformed JPMorgan into a financial giant. McDonald captures key moments, like JPMorgan’s acquisition of Bear Stearns during the 2008 crisis, and reveals how Dimon’s steadfast leadership style—built on clarity, integrity, and risk management—set him apart from his peers. This book offers not just a biography of Dimon but a detailed reflection on the dynamics of modern banking and Wall Street’s survival through one of its most tumultuous periods.
