March 24 Why Great Teams Fail And How The Yankees Keep Winning - Andy Martino
I'll be honest with you, I'm a Mets guy, I owned a piece of that team for years, but even I can't deny that the Yankees are the Google of baseball, and today we're going to find out exactly how they keep doing it. My guest is award-winning MLB journalist Andy Martino, whose new book The Yankee Way pulls back the curtain on the Brian Cashman era and reveals that everything you thought you knew about that dynasty was wrong.

Andy Martino has written about sports, culture, and entertainment, and has covered Major League Baseball for more than a decade. A former staff writer at the Philadelphia Inquirer and New York Daily News, he is currently a reporter and analyst covering MLB for the SNY network in New York.

Although I'm a massive Mets fan, I must admit Andy's book about the Yankees is wonderful. Get The Yankee Way: The Untold Inside Story of the Brian Cashman Era today.
Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, a global alternative investment firm, and founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio.

March 17 The Career Advice That Ruins Lives (And What Actually Works) - Bill Gurley
Today on Open Book, I’m joined by legendary venture capitalist Bill Gurley, whose new book Runnin' Down a Dream challenges a lot of the career advice we give young people. Bill argues that the safest career path isn’t the “safe job” at all—it’s finding something you’re genuinely fascinated by and chasing it relentlessly. We’re going to talk about curiosity, regret, and how to build a career you actually love.

Bill Gurley is a general partner at Benchmark, a leading venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. Over his venture career, he has invested in and served on the board of such companies as Nextdoor, OpenTable, Stitch Fix, Uber, and Zillow. Gurley has written about technology and other subjects on his popular blog, Above the Crowd, for over 20 years.

March 05 The Lie That Built Modern China - Frank Dikötter
I've spent a lot of time studying China — the culture, the power, the politics — and I thought I knew the story, but my guest today, historian Frank Dikötter, absolutely blew my mind, because the founding myth of the world's most powerful authoritarian state is built on a lie. Stick around, because this conversation is going to change the way you see China forever.

March 04 War in Iran, Trump’s Anthropic Ban, & Jane Street’s Bitcoin Rigging
This week was absolutely insane — we've got US and Israeli strikes on Iran, markets somehow shrugging it off, and the Trump administration trying to kneecap Anthropic even while using their AI to pick military targets. And if that's not enough, we're going to talk about Jane Street and some serious questions around Bitcoin market manipulation. Mike and I are breaking it all down here on All Things Markets.

March 03 The Death of Power As We Know It - Elizabeth Day
Today we've got the brilliant Elizabeth Day on Open Book, and let me tell you, her new novel One of Us is the book of the year — a razor-sharp, hilariously dark dive into the corruption of power, class warfare, and rich people behaving very, very badly. Elizabeth breaks it all down with the kind of insight that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about who's really running the world — and why it's all falling apart.

Elizabeth Day is the author of The Party and other books, as well as one of the most influential podcasters at work today. Her show, How to Fail, has become a go-to hitmaker, launching authors such as Meg Mason and Glennon Doyle onto the bestseller list in the UK.
I predict that this is the novel of the year (yes, I know it's March), get your copy of One of Us here: https://amzn.to/4012yCs

February 25 Trump Tariffs Overturned, $56T Debt Surge, AI Replacing Workers & Fed Cuts Debate
Welcome back to All Things Markets — Today, Mike Novogratz and I are ripping into the big stuff: tariffs getting struck down, a potential $56 trillion national debt, and whether the bond market is just calmly whistling past the fiscal graveyard. Mike and I debate Fed cuts, the AI labor shock that could upend the middle class, and why baby boomers may go down as the most overrepresented — and self-interested — generation in modern political history. Buckle up — this one’s about power, money, and what kind of future we’re actually building.

Michael Novogratz is the Founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital. He was formerly a Partner and President of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Mr. Novogratz served on the New York Federal Reserve’s Investment Advisory Committee on Financial Markets from 2012 to 2015.
